Sita and Rama Separation

A legend by Rishi Agastya in the epic states that Vishnu in a previous age had been cursed by a rishi, whose wife had been killed by Vishnu for sheltering his enemies escaping from battle. The Rishi condemns Vishnu to be denied for a long age the companionship of his soul mate, just as Vishnu, by an inadvertent display of anger, had deprived the rishi of his loving wife. Thus Rama, Vishnu's incarnation, must live the rest of his life without Sita

    It was also said that Rama was separated from Sita due to a curse by Narada. Once Narada was in deep penance when Lord Kamadev tried to disrupt him. Since Narada was graced by Lord Shiva, he managed to resist Lord Kamadev and continue his meditation. Overwhelmed by his victory over Lord Kamadev, Narada boasted to everyone despite several warnings and advice. He even went to the extent of visiting Lord Vishnu's abode to boast about his strength.

    On his way back from Vishnu's abode, he came across the ceremony where King Sheelnidhi organized a swayamvar for his daughter and Narada fell in love with her immediately. Narada went back to God Vishnu seeking good looks to win over the King's daughter. To teach him a lesson, God Vishnu tricked him and gave him a monkey's face.

    After being embarrassed during the ceremony, Narada cursed God Vishnu's avatar of Rama to be split from his wife and will be reunited with the help of a monkey.
