After Rama was crowned King of Ayodhya, the kingdom was flourishing. While Sita was pregnant, Rama learned that some of his people questioned her chastity because she had been imprisoned by Ravana for a long time. Rama decided that he must send Sita away to dispel the doubts of his people. Sita wandered the forest alone until she was found by a group of young sages being trained by their Guru, Valmiki. Valmiki welcomed Sita into the Ashram community, never revealing her identity to the others.  Read the blog: Rama Avatar, Part 8 | YogaMysticism.Today
