Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Sai Ram ! One important point i wish to enlighten all our beloved memebers of this forum : WE normally see as Ram , Lakshman and Hanuman as 3 Heroes and 3 different personalities ...and treat Ravan / Kumbhakaran and Meghnath as 3 Devils ...aAand treat as persona non-grata forall mundane purposes! But the moot point is ...Beloved SWAMI has clearly said in one Discourse that ---> HE himself was Ram , Ravana and Hanuman !! Swami has indubitably said that : "Ravana had mastered 64 types of worldly knowledge whereas Rama had mastered only 26." (Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. 27, page 262) "Ravana was a greater scholar than Rama. He was master of sixty-four categories of knowledge. He knew also knowledge about the training of elephants and cows." (Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. 25, page 142) Symbolism Of Ravana"Ravana is depicted as the king of Raakshasas. He is said to haveten heads. He was not born with ten heads. Who is this Ravana andwhat are his ten heads? Kama (lust), Krodha (anger), Moha(delusion), Lobha (greed), Mada (pride), Maatsyasya (envy), Manas(mind), Buddhi (intellect), Chitta (will) and Ahamkara (the ego) -all these ten constitute the ten heads. Ravana is of all the tenqualities. Each one can decide for himself whether he is a Ravana orRama according to his qualities." (Sai Baba, SS. SS. 11/91. p. 285) Symbolism Of Rama"Rama is the destroyer of the bad qualities. When engaged in thisact of destruction of bad qualities. He manifests his Rajo-guna. Buthis Rajasic quality is associated with his Satvic quality. Even incutting off Ravana's ten heads, Rama showed his love. This was theonly way that Ravana could be redeemed." Sai Baba, SS, 11/91. p. 285 Ram RAM RAM Thank you & God bless. Om Sri Sai Ram Sarvathah paanipaadam | Tat sarvatokshi siromukham Sarvathah sruthimalloke | Sarvamavritya thishthathi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
