better to live in hell

 Jai Sri Ram,

Said Rama, you live day and night amid evil-minded persons, 

I wonder how you can maintain your piety, my friend,

I know all your ways, you are a master in correct behavior and averse to wrongdoing, 

It is better to live in hell, dear Vibhishan, but may providence never place us in the company of wicked,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

O king of Lanka

 Jai Sri Ram,

Having heard with my own ears of your renown I have come to you with the belief that my Lord dissipate the fear of rebirth, 

Save me, my lord you are well known for being a reliever of distress and delighter of those who take refuge in you, 

When Rama Saw Vibhishan falling prostrate with these words, immediately took him in his arms, and clasped to his bosom, 

Rama seated him beside himself and asked addressing as O king of Lanka, if all is well with you and your family, as you were placed in vicious surroundings, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

natural affinity to sin

 Jai Sri Ram,

In either case, bring him here, said merciful Rama, monkeys respectfully placed Vibhishan ahead and proceeded to Rama, Vibhishan beheld Rama from a distance the two brothers, 

Again beheld Rama, the home of beauty, stopped winking the eyes of all, again beheld Lord, who had exceptionally long arms, red lotus-like eyes, swarthy limbs that rid the suppliant of his fear,

Lion-like shoulders with broad chests exercised great charm, while his countenance bewitched the minds of countless cupids, the sight brought tears to his eyes, and a deep thrill ran to his body,

He composed the mind and spoke in gentle accents, My Lord I am Ravna'a brother, born in demon race with a body that has inertia and ignorance in conjunct along with natural affinity to sins even as own is fond of darkness,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

I WILL CHERISH HIM AS MY OWN LIFE

 Jai Sri Ram,

Said Rama, I will abandon even the murderer of myriads of Brahmans, if he seeks refuge in me, 

The moment a creature turns its face towards me the sin incurred by it through millions of lives is washed away,

A sinner by his very nature is averse to my worship, Had Vibhishan been wicked at heart and could ever dare to approach me,

I have an aversion to duplicity, wiles, and censoriousness, even if Ravana has sent him to find out our secrets, we have nothing to fear, Laxman can dispose of all the race of demons in short, if he has sought shelter with me out of fear, I WILL CHERISH HIM AS MY OWN LIFE.

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Cherishing such fond experiences

 Jai Sri Ram,

Cherishing such fond experiences Vibhishana instantly crossed over to the other side of the ocean where Rama was encamped with his host, when monkeys saw him, they took him for some special messenger of the enemy, detaining him outside, and approached Sugreeva, 

Sugreeva reported to Lord Rama that Ravana's brother had come to see you, Lord asked Vibhishan what he thought about it, and he replied wiles of these demons are beyond comprehension, and does not know wherefore he has come, better to imprison him, 

Said Rama, you have turned out a wise course but my vow is to dispel all fears from the mind of those who seek refuge in me, Hanuman rejoiced to hear such words from the Lord,

Said Rama, those who forsake a suppliant apprehending evil from him are vile and sinful their very sight is abominable, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Disrespect to a saint robs one

 Jai Sri Ram,

No sooner had Vibhishan left with these words than the doom of them all was sealed, 

Disrespect to a saint robs one of all blessings, The moment Ravana abandoned Vibhishana, he lost all his glory, Vibhishan however proceeded to Rama,

On reaching there will behold the lotus feet of Rama that delight to the devotees, so saying to himself, he moves on,

I will go today and presently behold with these eyes of mine those very feet in whose wooden sandals Bharata's mind remains absorbed, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Sri Makar Sankranti today
