kali age

   Jai Sri Ram,

They are spells and valuable gems as it were for countering the venom of serpents in the form of sensuous enjoyments, the efface of deep marks of evil destiny contained on the forehead,

They are sunbeam, as it were, dispelling the darkness of ignorance, and clouds nourishing the paddy crop in the form of devotees, trees of paradise, as it were, yielding the object of one's desire, easily available for service and gratifying like Vishnu and Shiva, 

Stars as it were adoring the autumnal sky in the shape of the poet's mind, and the very life's treasure for the devotees of Rama, a rich harvest of enjoyments as it were, yielding by the totality of one's meritorious deeds and sincerely devoted to the good of the world like holy men,

Sporting in the mind of the devotees as swans in the Manasarovara lake and purifying as the waves of the holy Ganga, the host of the virtues possessed by Sri Rama are like a blazing fire to consume the dry wood of evil ways, fallacious reasoning, mischievous practices, deceit, hypocrisy, and hereby prevailing in kali age,

Jai Siya Ram

beneficent to pious souls

  Jai Sri Ram,

It is beneficent to pious souls, even as goddess Parvati, is friendly to gods, again,it puts an end to hell even as Parvati exterminated the army of demons, 

It flows from the assemblage of saints, even as Laxmi sprang from the ocean, and like the immovable earth it bears the burden of the entire creation, like the sacred river Yamuna in this world it scared away the messengers of Yama, the death god,

It is Holy Kashi, as it were for the liberation of souls, it is dear to Rama as the sacred basil plant and is truly beneficent to Tulsidasa as his own mother, HULASI, it is beloved of Shiva as the river Narmada which has its source in mount Makala, a peak of the Amarakantaka hill,

It is mine of attainments as well as of happiness and prosperity, it is to noble qualities what mother Aditi is to gods, it is culmination as it were of devotion to and love for Sri Rama,  

Jai Siya Ram 

heard the same story in the holy Sukaraksetra

 Jai Sri Ram,

Said Tulsidas, I heard the same story in the holy Sukaraksetra that modern soron in the western UP, from my preceptor, but as I had no sense in those days of my childhood, I could not follow it full well, both the listener and the reciter of the mysterious story of Rama must be repositories of wisdom,

How, then could I, a dull witted and stupid creature steeped in the impurities of the kali age, expect to follow it, nevertheless, when the preceptor repeated the story time after time, I followed it to be a certain extent according to my poor lights, I shall versify the same in popular tongue, so that my mind derive satisfaction from it, 

Equipped with what little intellect and critical power I possess, I shall write with a heart inspired by Sri Hari, the story I am going to tell is such as will dispel my own doubts, errors and delusion, and will serve as a boat for crossing the stream of mundane existence,

The Story of Rama is a solace to the learned and a source of delight to all men and wipes out the impurities of Kali age, Sri Rama's story is a pea hen for the serpent in the form of kali age, again it is a wooden stick for kindling fire of wisdom, is a cow of plenty in this age of Kali, beautiful life giving herb for the virtuous, veritable river of nectar on the surface of this globe, which shatters the fear of birth and death, is a virtual snake for frog of delusion, 

Jai Siya Rama, 

Sri Sita Navami

 

emblic myrobalan fruit

 Jai Sri Ram,

The Ravishing tale was conceived by Sambhu, who graciously communicated to his consort Uma that Goddess Parvati, 

Shiva imparted it once more to Kakabhusandi, a sagacious reality in the form of a crow, knowing to be a devotee of Sri Rama, and one qualified to hear it,

It was Yajnavalikya who received it from Sri Kakabhusandi, and narrated it to a pious sage Bhardwaja, 

Both these, the listener and the reciter are equally virtuous, they know all alike and are more acquainted with the pastimes of Sri Hari, like a emblic myrobalan fruit placed on one's palm, they hold the past, present and future within their knowledge, besides these, other enlightened devotees of Sri Hari too recite hear and understand this story in diverse ways,

Jai Siya Ram,
