Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 The Times of India SACRED SPACE: Rama's Path24 Sep 2007 Rama for you should mean the Path He trod, the ideal He held aloft, and the Ordinance He laid down. They are eternal and timeless. Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practising the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind all else is mere show, empty rituals. When Rama is installed in the heart, everything will be added unto you - fame, fortune, freedom, fullness. (Sri Sathya Sai Baba) Valmiki : O Venerable Rishi! Please tell me whether there is a perfect man in this world who is at once virtuous, brave, dutiful, truthful, noble, steadfast in duty, and kind to all beings. Narada : There is such a one, a prince of Ikshvaku’s line named Rama. He is virtuous, brave, gentle, and wise. He is a great hero. He loves his subjects immensely. He is a protector of Dharma. He is firm and steadfast. He is just and liberal. He is well-versed in the Vedas and in the science of arms. Rama is unique in the possession of virtues and matchless in beauty. He is an obedient son, a kind brother, loving husband, a faithful friend, an ideal king, a merciful enemy, and a lover of all living beings. All people adore him. (Legend of Valmiki) Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2395908.cms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
