cross the ocean

Jai sri Ram
A recital of the virtues of sri Rama,

The Lord of the Raghus's

Bestows all blessings,

Those who reverently hear them cross the ocean of mundane existence without hard work,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Forgive me

Jai sri Ram
When the Lord fitted the terrible arrow to his Bow, a blazing fire broke out in the heart of the ocean, God presiding over the ocean found creature burning, he gave up his pride and assuming the form of a Brahman, came with a gold plate filled with all kinds of jewels, clasped the feet of lord in dismay, Said

Forgive me, O Lord-of my faults. all the five are dull by nature, it is Your Maya which brought them forth for the purpose of creation under impulse from you, I shall be dried up and the army will crss but will bring no credit to me, i shall do at once what pleases to you,

You have two monkeys in your army, got a boon in their childhood from a sage, touched by them even huge mountians will float on the ocean by your glory, My lord have ocean bridged-so that this glorious achievement of yours may be sung in all the three spheres of creation, with this arrow exterminate a race of criminals inhabiting my northern coast, On hearing this Sri Rama, immediately relieved the agony of ocean's heart, the god rejoiced and gratified to witness Sri Rama's astounding might and valor, ocean took his leave,

The god presiding over the ocean left for his home, the Story of Sri Rama's exploits in this chapter which wipes out the impurities of Kali age, has been sung by Sri Tulsidas according to his lights, the excellence of Sri Rama are an abode of delight, a panacea for all doubts and unfailing rededy for sorrow, therefore, giving up all other hope and faith, O Manasa[mind] ever sing abd hear them,

May Lord bless all

Thanks Please



three days

Jai sri Ram
Although three days had elapsed, the crass ocean would not answer the Lord's prayer, Sri Rama thereupon indignantly said

There can be no friendship without inspiring fear,

Bring my bow and arrows, i will dry up the ocean,

Supplication before an idiot, friendship with a rough, inculcating liberality on a born miser taking wisdom to one steeped in worldliness,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

returned to his Hermitage

Jai sri Ram
Ravana was dismayed at heart as he listened to the above message, but wore a feigned smile on his face and spoke aloud for all to hear, the younger hermit's grandiloquence is just like an attempt of a man lying on the ground to clutch with hands the vault of heaven,

Suka said-my lord giving up haughtiness take every word of it as true, avoid clash with Rama, is lord of the entire universe, Restore Sita to sri Rama, Ravana kicked him , Suka bowed his head at Ravana's feet and proceeded to the place where the Rama was,

Making obeisance to Sri Rama-he told all about himself and by sri Rama's Grace recovered his original state, he was an enlighten sage, it was by the curse of Sage agustya that he had transformed into a demon,

Adoring sri Rama's feet again and again the sage returned to his Hermitage,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks Please

Hare Rama

Jai sri Ram
Even though-my friend-you have no craving, my sight in this world never fails to beings its reward, So Saying Lord Rama applied on his forehead the sacred mark of SOVEREIGNTY and a copious shower of flowers reined down from the heavens, Lord Save the Vibhishan and conferred on him with much diffidence the same fortune which lord Shiva has bestowed on Ravana after offering his ten heads in a sacrifice,

Vibhishan Said-Lord although your arrow itself will dry up innumerable oceans yet propriety demands that you should approach the ocean and request to all fair passage, the presiding deity of ocean is an ancestor of yours, lord said friend you have suggested an excellent plan-let us try, lord bowed his head and greeted the ocean then spreading some Kusha grass on the shore, took his seat  thereupon,

Assuming false appearance of monkeys spies from Ravana witnessed all the doings of Sri Rama-they applauded Sri Rama's amiability and forget their disguise, monkeys recognize them,Laxmana called them near and moved pity, immediately had them released with note for Ravana, Surrender Sita and make peace or your hour is come,  

Bowing their head at Laxmana feet they reached at and relates the truth of that camp. All the monkeys and bears are born warriors and beside they have Lord Rama, they can conquer in battle even millions of Yamas, Message of Laxmana is beguiling with flattering words, O fool, do not bring your race to utter ruin, by courting enmity with Rama you will not be spared even though you seek the protection of Vishnu, Brahma or shiva, therefore abandoning the pride, like our brother, either seek refuge in lotus feet of Rama as a bee or be consumed with your family like a moth into the fire of sri Rama's wrath

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please   

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram
Dwelling in my capital you cherish love for hermits, if so go and join with Them and kicked him, Taking his ministers with him Vibhishan departed, Said-I will go today and behold with these eyes of mine, those very feet,Cherishing such fond expectation Vibhishan crossed over,

Sugreeva approached Lord that Ravana's brother has come to see you-sri Rama said, i will not abandon even the murderer of myriads of Brahmans if he seeks refuge in me, Vibhishan to Lord-having heard wit my own ears of your renown i have come to you with belief that you dissipates the fear of birth and rebirth, save me-Save Me, When the Lord saw Vibhishan prostrate, he immediately started up much delighted, taking him in his long arms clasped him to his bosom, tell me king of Lanka, is all well with you,

Vibhishan Said-There can be no happiness for a creature nor can its mind know any peace even in dream, so long as it does not relinquish desire which is an abode of sorrow and adore Sri Ram, i am blessed beyond measure, O all gracious and blissful Rama, in that i have beheld with my own eyes the lotus feet which are worthy of adoration even to Brahma and Shiva, Lord Said-listen my friend i tell you my nature, if a man, even though he has been an enemy to the whole world comes terror stricken to me, seeking his protection and discarding vanity, infatuation, hypocrisy and traceries of various kinds, i speedily make the very like of a saint,

The ties of affection that binds man are like so many threads which a pious soul gathers up and twists into a string wherewith he binds his soul to my feet, looks upon all with same eye, no craving and mind free from joy-grief and sorrow, a saint of this description abides in my heart, only saints of your type are dear to me, for the sake of none else do i body myself forth, THOSE MEN WHO WORSHIP ME IN MY PERSONAL FORM, ARE INTENT ON DOING GOOD TO OTHERS, FIRMLY TREAD THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND STEADFAST IN THEIR VOW AND DEVOTED TO THE FEET OF THE BRAHMANS ARE DEAR TO ME AS LIFE,

  May Lord Bless all

Thanks please 

Malyavan

Jai sri Ram
Ravana had a very old and sagacious minister named Malyavan, he felt gratified to hear Vibhishan's words,

He Said to Ravana, your younger brother is very ornament of wisdom, take to heart what Vibhishan says,

Ravana shout that both these fools glorify the enemy, is there anyone who remove them out,

Vibhishan again requested Ravana with joined palms, clasped your feet i beseech you, grant this prayer of mine as a token of affection for me, restore Sita to Rama so that no harm may come to you,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

adore Sri Rama

Jai sri Ram
Lust anger vanity and covetousness are all paths leading to hell,

Abjuring all these adore Sri Rama, whom saints worship,

Sri Rama is not mere human king, is lord of the universe and death of death, is absolute that free from malady of Maya, unborn and all pervading, invincible, far from birth and death has assumed a form of human for good of gods, cow and Brahman, 

On being approached, he forsakes not even who has incurred sin by wishing ill of whole world, Again and again i fall at your feet and pray you, abandoning pride adore Sri Rama,

May lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

another's wife

Jai Sri Ram
When a minister, a physician and a religious preceptor-these three use pleasing words from fear or hope of reward, the result is that dominion. health and faith all the three forthwith go,

Such is a contingency that presented itself before Ravana,

Vibhishan said_since your gracious Majesty has asked my opinion, i tender it according to my lights,

Let him who seek after his death and joy of various kinds turn his eyes away from the brow of another's wife even as one should refuge to see the moon of fourth night to the brighter half,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

embraced her and then left

Jai sri Ram
Ravana said that a woman is timorous by nature is truly said, she entertains fear even on an auspicious occasion,

For her mind is very week, the very guardian of the spheres tremble for fear of me, how ridiculous that you my wife should afraid,

Laughed and embraced her and then left for his counsel chamber exhibiting great fondness for her,

As he occupied his royal seat, ask advice from counselors, they laughed and submitted when you conquered gods and demons-of what account then can men and monkeys,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 


giving up obstinacy device some means of safety

Jai Sri Ram
Ever since Hanuman left after burning Down Lanka, the demons had lived in constant terror,

When Mandodary heard from her spies what citizen were saying, felt much pertuated to meet her Lord Ravana, Said

My Lord avoid all strive with sri Hari, take my words for your welfare, call one of your minster and send back him Sita,

Rama's arrows are like a swarm of serpents while the demon host can only compare with frog-giving up obstinacy device some means of safety before the serpents devour them,

May Lord bless all

Thanks Please 

arrived at the sea shore and halted there

Jai Sri Ram
The Lord then summoned Sugreeva and said,

Make preparations for the march, why should we terry any longer,

Sugreeva quickly summoned the commanders, they presented themselves in multitudes, were all unequaled in strength,

The mighty bears and monkeys bowed their head at the lotus feet of lord, and roared, who could adequately describe the army as it marched with its countless monkeys and bears roaring, no weapon other than sharp claws, they carried rocks and trees, continuing his march this way the all merciful arrived at the sea shore and halted there,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 


BE IT SO

Jai sri Ram
I should have been able to leap across the ocean, burn city, kill demons, was all due to your might, no credit, my lord, is due to me for the same,

Nothing is unattainable, my lord-to him who enjoy your grace,

Be pleased my Lord to grant me unceasing Devotion which is source of supreme bliss,

When the lord heard the most artless speech of Hanuman-he said- BE IT SO,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Again and again as the protector of he gods gazed on Hanuman His eyes filled with tears and his body was overpowered with a thrill of emotion,

Sri Hanuman overwhelmed with love and crying Save-me-Save me,

Then Lord took him by hand and seated him very close to him, tell me Hanuman-how could you burn Ravana's Stronghold lanka,
