Greatness of Sri Rama !!!

[Guest guest]

Pranams to Bhagavan Sri Krishna and His Bhaktas,

Sri Rama is the role model of Vedic faith . The very purpose of Maha-Vishnu's Rama-avatar was to illustrate by personal example , how to lead a *Dharmic* life , according to the injunctions of the Vedas .

Let us observe Sri Rama's roles from the beginning :

1. Sri Rama as a son obeyed his father's wishes without any question. As per the Vedic law of the Land at that time, Rama has got every right to acquire the kingdom as First Son of King Dasaratha. Even the entire people of Ayodhya wanted Rama to be the king. Rama has sacrificed this right. He accepted gracefully the order of his father with smile.

Sri Rama could have easily exposed His father Dasa-ratha and seized power . The act of Rama's father Dasa-ratha in making a rash promise to one of his three queens, was not in accordance with Raja-Dhrama. No queen had any right to interfere with the matters of state to promote her own interest. A seeker of a boon has limitations. One may seek all well being for self but cannot seek a grant to harm others. Kaikyee and Kaushalya both were equally wives of the king. Asking the kingdom for one's won son is reasonable wish of any mother but seeking other's son to be sent to the forest for a life term ( of 14 years) was clearly *Adharma*. Asking such a boon is *Adhrama* and granting such a boon too was *Adhrama*. However, Sri Rama ignored all these aspects and devotedly adhered to His *Dharma* which was to fulfill the order of His father without raising any question .

2. Sri Rama as husband with tremendous love to his spouse Sita. Throughout his period in forest after losing Sita, Rama has searched her and see that Ravana who has taken away Sita was killed with the help of his friends and regained her.

3.Sri Rama as Good Disciple of his Gurus Vasishta and Vishvamithra . Risking own life , He with the lone support of Lakshmana fought against the immensely powerful armies of Rakshasas to protect the yagnas and Rishis in Forest.

4. Sri Rama as Good Brother asked his brother Bharatha not to accompany him and take care of the kingdom till he comes back as per the wishes of his father. Rama did His level best to discourage Lakshmana too from following Him and finally agreed only to avoid Lakshmana's suicide .

5. Sri Rama as a good friend helped Sugriva to acquire his kingdom after killing Vali. Before dying, Vali asked Rama as to why he attacked from behind and un-announced when he had no enemity with him and was it not against Kshtriya Dharma. Rama replied " if you answer my question why did you entertain a desire for your brother's wife, who is like a mother to you, you will find my reply in it ". Vali said being Raakshasa the relationships mentioned by Rama were not known much less followed in their society. Rama smiled and said, " If so , the benefits of Kshatriay Dharma too is not applicable to Raakshasas and therefore He has every right to eliminate such a sinful Rakshasa at the first opportunity without giving him any benefits of *Dharma*. ( Had the Indian rulers like Nehru , the so-called followers of Rama-rajya exponent Gandhiji , followed this personal example of Sri Rama, Kashmir trajedy would never have destroyed India.)

6 Sri Rama as a good protector of Dharma has handed over Lanka to Vibhishana who is real successor to Ravana. He has not claimed even an inch of land even through he has killed Ravana in a war.

7 Rama as a king who has to rule the land without any grievance for his people, having heard a complaint from Dhobi who has doubted his morality has conducted the Agnipariksha. Present day, can you expect any minister do such *prayachitha* ( atonement) for any of his immoral and illegal and criminal activities if they are pointed out ordinary resident like "Dhobi of Ramayana"?

Sri Rama is right in His approach to play his role as an ideal man in various capacities as mentioned above.

Please chant :

Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama , Hare Hare,

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare

and , be happy !!!!

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!!!!

Rajiv Ji,

Jai Shri Krishna

Do You know, the remaining jobs of Sri Rama's era were completed by Bhagavan

Shri Krishna. Krishna's works were different from those of Shri Ram. Rama's

incarnation in Mid-day whereas Krishna's incarnation in Mid-night. Lord Rama was

Maryadit (Limited) whereas Lord Krishna seem to be Amaryadit(unlimited). Rama

had one wife Krishna had many. Rama was born in fine season Krishna was born in

sticky and rainy season. Rama was born in Palace Krishna was born in Jail. Rama

always wielded weapon (bow) but Krishna just sweet Flute. Rama was elder to

Lakshmana but Krishna was younger to Balram. Rama obeyed the criticism of Dhobi

but Krishna slapped to death the Dhobi in Mathura. Rama rarely preached sermons

but Krishna blessed us with Shri Gita.Rama sent messengers/ambassadors,

Hanumanji and Angad in Ravana's court whereas Krishna was ambassador Himself in

Dhritrashtra's Court. Krishna was and is the greatest Diplomat of the world and

He is known as Peace

Messenger (Shanti Doot). Rama fought war against Ravana on foot, in the

beginning, but Krishna was on chariot in the Kurukshtra since from the

beginning. Rama Himself fought against Ravana but Krishna fought no direct fight

against Kauravas. Rama wept in the forest for Sita mata but Gopis wept for

Krishna in the forest. Rama was left by Sita in the forest but Gopis were left

by Krishna in the forest during Maharaas. Rama killed Vali while hiding but God

Krishna atoned for this by sacrificing his life and went to Golok Dham. Please

tell everybody.

Jai Shri Krishna
