viji_53 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2001 Rama! You are the life of life ,the soul of soul, and the joy of joy. Those who like to be in their home away from you, are under the influence of an adverse fate. No one can speedily know this secret (BHAKTHI is the fountain of all blessings) of Sri RAMA but who ever comes to know it by HIS grace ,can never fall a prey to infatuation even in a dream. "O" men , abandon your varied activities, sins and diverse creeds, which all give birth to sorrow, and with genuine faith "says Tulsidas." be devoted to the feet of RAMA. Bowing my head to all I lay open my terrible distress before you .Unless I behold RAMA's feet the agony of my soul shall not go. HariBhol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viji_53 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2001 Blessed is the family ,worthy of adoration for the whole world and most hallowed too, in which is born a humble devotee of the illustrious RAMA. HE who seeks devotion to the feet of RAMA or to enjoy the state of eternal bliss should fondly drink in this story with the cups of his ears. There can be no happiness for a creature nor can its mind know any peace even in a dream so long as it does not relinquish desire, which is an abode of sorrow, and adore RAMA. Having heard of your fair renown I have come to you with the belief that my LORD dissipates the fear of rebirth . Save me, save me ,"O" RAMA, reliever of distress, delighter of those who take refuge in YOU. HariBhol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viji_53 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2001 God is supremely compassionate and loving by nature. He can not bear the sight of others suffering and none can equal HIM. God is so benign and kind hearted. He who comes to realise the kind heartedness of God becomes kind hearted himself. He who sees God in all beings never loses HIS sight. Liberation is brought about by self-realization. The Vedas have prescribed various methods for attaining it; such as disinterested action, meditation and knowledge of self act; which can be practiced at all times by all. Salvation is not something impossible to achieve in the present age Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viji_53 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2001 Rama the divine hero of this epic is the ideal man, the man parexellence of Hindus. He is the Maryada-purushottama. He had all the virtues which make a man perfect. He is an ideal son, ideal brother, an ideal husband and an ideal friend. He is perfect in every way. He loved His brothers as His own self. On the eve of His coronation to the throne of Ayodya, He missed His brothers Bharata and Satrugna, who were away with their mothers parents. He feels disturbed at the news of His coronation. The very thought that He should rule the kingdom and His brothers should serve Him is revolting to Him. That is why when mother Kaikeyi tells Him in the presence of His father about the two boons she had asked him, He welcomes the idea rather than perturbed over it. He thus demonstrates to the world that one should neither rejoice nor recoil over favorable or unfavorable things. A mere hint from His step mother is enough for Him to give up His rightful claim for the throne. Instead of resenting the behavior of Kaikeyi who is instrumental in sending Him to exile, He rejoices over the prospect of meeting the sages in the forest and happy to carry the order of His father and wishes of His stepmother. He feels happy to think that the throne will go to Bharata who is dearer to Him than His own life. He takes it as a piece of good luck and proceeds to forest with out seeking any confirmation from His father. In this way He has discharged His obligation not only to His parents but also to His brother proving Himself an ideal son and an ideal brother. HariBhol!

The thrill of joy that one experiences while listening to narrative represents the flower of gardens, orchards & groves; & the delight one feels is the sporting of birds;a noble mind is the gardener, who waters the garden etc with the moisture of love through the charming jars of eyes. Jo sraddha sambala rahita nahi santhanha kar saath Thinha kahu maanasa agama athi jinhahi na priya Raghunath. The Maanasa is most inaccessible to those who lack provisions for the journey in the shape of peity(daya), who do not enjoy the company of saints & who have no love for the Lord of Raghus.

viji_53 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2001 The five basic Truths of Divine wisdom are The Supreme, the individual self,the means, the goal, & the barriers. The Ramayana is the authoritative exposition of these Truths. Rama is the Supreme Brahman. Lakshmana is ideal jivatma(individual self). The instances of the surrender illustrate the nature of means. Service to Lord is the Goal & Ravana & his kin represent the barriers. HariBhol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

viji_53 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2001 The praises of SriRama destroy the impurities of the Kali age. They subdue the mind & are a source of delight. Rama is pleased with those who listen to them with faith & reverence. This age of Kali is storehouse of sins. Daya, spiritual wisdom, yoga or japa are out of place in this age. They alone are wise who worship Rama giving up all other hopes. HariBhol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
