So now that EFFECTIVELY ends my quest here!
Question no.1 about 'Vishnu's partiality towards devas as compared to Shiva' was effectively put down to rest by Viper83 ( he gave examples of asur Vishnu devotee) and Surya_Krsnbhakt ( he effectively explained y the comparison of Shiva and Vishnu in this context can make one think like that with respect to Vishnu's role of god of preservation vis a vis Shiva's role)
Question no. 2 about caste system originating in Vaishnavism was effectively put down to rest by Sherlock ( comprehensive butchering of Varnashram in the recent past) and Surya_krshnbhakt ( effects of foreign invasion and explanation of initial Shiva-Daksh equation)
Question no. 3( the most difficult n painful of the 3 questions) about justifying Sri Ram's actions towards Devi Sita was put to rest by Varaali ( a beautiful post explaining the events) and Sherlock ( a post that led me to form my own interpretation, justification and conclusion of Sri Rama's actions towards the end of the Ramayana).. while people in general may not agree with me on the following, it perfectly makes sense for me
1. Sri Ram committed a grave mistake by separating from Devi Sita under societal pressure ( or to protect the sanctity of his throne according to the famous king dharma) , thereby causing immeasurable pain to his wife which led her to seek shelter in Bhumi Devi for all eternity.
2. The injustice done to Devi Sita caused immeasurable pain to Sri Rama , as a result he himself suffered a lot as a punishment because he is dedicated and committed to his wife for all eternity, truly a 'one woman one man' man in a day and age when kings used to take multiple queens.
3. This incident teaches us to always stand by what you believe is right or else the result would b life long guilt and suffering.
4. One must always b prepared to face the consequences of his actions; Sri Rama being a god's incarnation himself did not excuse himself from his punishment, prayaschit is the only way to liberation.
