you are alive

Jai sri Ram
An enemy, a malady, fire, sin, a master, a serpent are never be accounted trifles,

So saying and with profuse laments she set to weeping,

In her distress she throw herself down in Ravana's court and with many a tears said_

Do you think, my ten headed brother that i  should be reduced to this state even though you are alive,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Maxim

Jai Sri Ram
Perceiving the destruction of Khara and Dushana, Supankha approached Ravana and intigate him against Sri Rama,

Discarding all thought of your realm and exchequer you drink and sleep day and night and take no heed of the enemy, who is at your door step,

Sovereignty without political insight, wealth divorced from virtue, noble deeds that have not been offered to God and learning which does not beget wisdom is nothing but fruitless labour to the man who has gained such kingdom or wealth, to the doer of the noble acts and to the students respectively,

A recluse is quickly undone by attachment, a king by evil counsel, wisdom by conceit, modesty by drinking, friendship by want of love, and man of merit by vanity-such is the maxim i have heard,

May Lord bless all

Thanks Please

Lord of Raghus had vanquished the foe in battle

Jai Sri Ram
Without nose and ears she wore hideous aspect and looked like a mountain flowing with torrents of red orchre,

She went sobbing to Khara Dushana, fie fie upon your manhood and strength, questioned by them she told them everything in detail.

They roared and bullied and sprang in the air, capture the two brothers alive and having captured them killed,

Valiant champions came rushed with all speed shouting seize, seize, there had been a battle between Sri Rama and the demons, they were more than 14000 and Sri Rama was one, The demons saw one another in the form of sri Rama so that the enemy's warriors fought among themselves and perished, when Lord of Raghus had vanquished the foe in battle, the gods human beings, sages were rid of fear,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sita was terrified

Jai sri Ram
Again she turned and came to sri Rama but Lord sent her back to Laxmana,

Laxmana Said-he alone will wed you-who deliberately casts all shame,

Thereupon she went fretting and foaming to Sri Rama and revealed her frightful demoniac form,

Lord Saw, the Sita was terrified and make sign to Laxmana, with great ability Laxmana struck off her nose and ear, thereby inviting Ravana through her to a contest as it were,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

all these men

Jai sri Ram
A servant who aspires for happiness,

A beggar who expect honour,

A addicted to some vice who hopes for riches,

A profligate who seek a blessed state after death, an avaricious man who covet fame, a proud man who expects the all the four prizes of life-all these men expect to get milk by milking heavens,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks please 

Listen Fair Lady

Jai Sri Ram
My mind has been set at rest a bit only after seeing you,

The lord cast a glance at Sita and said only this much,

My brother is a bachelor, she went to Laxmana,,who , knowing that she was their enemy sister, looked at his lord,and spoke in gentle tones,

Listen Fair Lady, i am his servant and a dependent, thus you will have no comforts with me, My Lord is all powerful and the sovereign king of Ayodhya, whatever He does will be worthy of Him,

May Lord bless all

Thanks please

wanton woman

Jai Sri Ram
At the very sight of handsome man, be he her own brother, father, or son, a wanton woman gets excited and cannot restrain her passion, even as the sun stone emits fire when brought in front of sun,

Having assumed a charming form she approached Sri Rama and with many a smile addressed words to him,

There is no man like you, and no women like me,

It is great deliberation that god has made this pair, i have ransacked the three spheres but hsve found no suitable match for me, it is for the reason that i have till now remained Virgin,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

repose in the heart

Jai sri Ram
Nay, i Ever repose in the heart of those who depend on me in thought, word and deed and worship me in a disinterested way,

Laxmana greatly delighted to hear discourse,

In this way some days were spent in discoursing dispassion, spiritual wisdom, goodness and morality,

Ravana had a sister with foul hearten and cruel, once went to Panchvati,  smitten with pangs of love at the sight of Sri Rama and Laxmana,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

i am ever at the back

Jai Sri Ram
Again one should be extremely devoted to the lotus feet of saints and should be persistent in the practice of adoration through mind, speech and action,

He should recognize me as his preceptor, father, Mother, kinsman, lord, deity and all and should be steadfast in my service,

A thrill runs through his body as he sings my praise, his voice get chocked and his eyes flow with tears,

He is free from lust and other vices, pride and hypocrisy, i am ever at the back and call of such a devotee,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

love for my cult,

Jai Sri Ram
In the very first place a man should cultivate excessive devotion to the feet of Brahman

Secondly one should remain engaged in his own duty according to the lines laid down by the Vedas,

This induces an aversion to the pleasures of sense and dispassion in its turn engenders a love for my cult,

This will bring steadfastness in the nine forms of devotion and the mind will develop an excessive fondness for my sports,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

an easy path by which men finds me,

Jai Sri Ram
It stands by itself and require no other prop,

Whereas Jnana that knowledge of God in his absolute formless aspect and Vigyan that knowledge of the qualified aspect of god, with and without form depends on it,

Devotion is incomparable and the very root of bliss,

It can be acquired only by the favour of Saint, i now tell you at some length the mean of acquiring Devotion, an easy path by which men finds me,

May Lord bless all

Thanks Please

which melts my heart quickly

Jai Sri Ram
Dispassion results from the practice of virtue,

While spiritual wisdom comes of the practice of Yoga,

Wisdom is the bestower of liberation-so declare by Vedas,

And that which melts my heart quickly, is devotion which is delight of my devotees,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks Please 

controller of Maya,

Jai sri Ram
Spiritual wisdom is that which is free from all blemishes in the shape of pride ect,

And which sees the supreme spirit equally in all,

He alone should be called a man of supreme dispassion who has spurned all supernatural powers as well as the three Gunas as if of no more account than a blade of grace,

Thus alone desreve to be called as jiva which knows not Maya nor God nor one's own self and Shiva is he who awards bondage and liberation transcends all and the controller of Maya,

May lord bless all

Thanks please 

Knowledge and ignorance

Jai sri Ram
And hear of its divisions too, they are two_

Knowledge and ignorance,

The ignorance is vile and extremely painful and has cast the ego into the sink of worldly existence,

The knowledge, which bring forth the creation and which holds sway over the three gunas is directed by the lord and has no strength of its own,

May Lord Bless All,

know it to be Maya,

Jai sri Ram
Also explain me all the difference between God and the individual soul,

So that i may be devoted to your feet and sorrow, infatuation and delusion may disappear,

I will explain everything in nutshell, listen dear Brother, with your mind, intellect and reason fully absorbed,

Whatever is perceived by the senses and that which lies within the reach of the mind, know it to be Maya,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
