Dear Bhagawathas,
>Srimad Valmiki Ramayanam
>describes that Ahalya was cursed to be invisible
>due to her misconduct . other sources refer to her
>form as astone due to the curse.
Once Ramana Maharshi (whose family God was Sri Venkateshwara) said
that "turning into stone" meant that Ahalya was caused to lapse into a
an inert mental state; that Her original placidity, and Sattvik nature
were restored by the dust of Sri Rama's Feet.
thank you,
Srikanth
