In his person, Sri Rama broke the bow of Shiva,
While the very glory of His Name dispels the fear of rebirth,
The Lord restored the charm of the Dandaka forest alone,
While His name purifies the minds of countless devotees,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Rama himself redeemed a single woman Ahilya,
The wife of an ascetic,
While his name corrected the error of crores of wicked souls,
For the sake of sage Vishvamitra Sri Rama wrought the destruction of Suketu's daughter Tadaka with her army, while his name puts an end to the devotee's vain hopes along with his errors and sorrow even as the sun terminates night,
May Lord bless all,
Thank, please
Jai Sri Ram,
The glory of the name is thus greater than that of the absolute,
I shall show how my judgment of the name is superior even to Sri Rama,
For the sake of devotees, Sri Rama assumed the form of a human being,
And, suffering calamities himself, brought relief to the pious,, by fondly repeating his name, on the other hand, devotees easily become abodes of joy and blessings,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Though both are inaccessible by themselves, they are easily attainable through the name,
Therefore I have called the name greater than Brahma and Sri Rama both, Brahma is one, all-pervading and imperishable, he is all truth, consciousness, and a compact mass of joy,
Even though such an immutable lord is present in every heart, all beings in the world are nonetheless miserable and unhappy,
Through the practice of the Name preceded by its true appraisement, however, the same Brahma reveals itself even as the value of a jewel is revealed by its correct knowledge,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Oblations are being made to conclude the sacred Yajna of Sacred Baisakh, a meaningful chapter for devotees of Sri Hari Vishnu,

Sri Satya Vrat Katha narrates unto the glory of Bhagwan Sri Satya Dev that a tangible help of his devotees and ever helps them in varying forms to rescue them from the delution of Maya,
This is a day to adore in truth with spirit, follow the truth, indulge in deeds with truth, accommodate truth in self, and respect the dignity of truth through varying chapters available with, embrace the truth,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Friends should not take this as a bold assertion on the part of this servant,
I record my mind's own conviction, partiality and liking,
The two aspects of Brahma should be recognized as akin to the fire which is latent in wood,
While other corresponds to that which is extremely visible,
may Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Even those who are free from all desires,
And absorbed in the joy of devotion to Sri Rama have thrown their heart as fish into the nectarine of supreme affection for the name,
There are two aspects of the God, one unqualified and the other qualified,
Both these aspects are unspeakable, without beginning and without parallel, to my mind, greater than both is the name, that has established its rule over both by its might,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Ekadasi Today, the Visibility of the man is very limited to the light and objects around,

Typical forms cannot be identified, even if they be in your hand, without knowing their name,
And if the name is remembered even without seeing the form, the latter flashes on the mind with a special liking for it,
The mystery of name and form is a tale that cannot be told, though delightful to comprehend,
It cannot be described in words, between the unqualified absolute and qualified divinity, the name is a good intermediary, it is a cleaver interpreter revealing the truth of both,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
It is presumptuous on one's part to declare as to which is superior or inferior,
Hearing the distinctive merits of both, pious souls will judge for themselves,
Forms are found to be subordinate to the name,
Without the name, you cannot come to the knowledge of a form,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please

Let the two letters forming part of the name of Raghuvara crown all the letters of the alphabet, the one spreading like an umbrella and other resting as a crest jewel, O Tulsi das,

A perturbed mind sooner or later finds itself in the indifferent state to carry on with the prevailing condition, being confined to the limited from all over, the self finds itself in the state of helplessness, and look for a help that helps disinterestedly on varying subject of the journey,
