When the sage asked him again and again, Rama went to bed only then, Laxman pressed Rama's feet on his bosom and caressed them with reverence and love deriving supreme joy from this service, it was only when the lord repeatedly said, retire now, my brother, that he laid himself down cherishing his brother's lotus feet in his heart, 

Toward the close of night, at the sound of cock crow, got up Laxman, the Lord of the universe, Sri Rama, also woke up before his guru, Having performed all the customary acts of purification they went and finished their ablutions, and thus have gone through the daily routine of devotion, they bow before the sage when the time reach, took leave and went out to gather flowers, having gone to see the lovely garden, 

Charming trees, beautiful creepers of different colors, rich fresh leaves that put shame on even celestial trees, beautiful birds warbled, peacocks danced, lovely lake shone bright with flights of steps made of many colored gems, limpid water with beautiful lotuses of various colors and was vocal with the cooling of aquatic birds and humming of bees,

deceit and wily wrangling

 Jai Sri Ram,

Gautama's consort, having assumed the form of a stone under a curse seeks with patience the dust of the lotus feet, show mercy to her, O hero of Raghu's race, at a touch of his holy feet, which drive away sorrow, emerged Ahilya, a true embodiment of austerity, Beholding the lord of Raghus, the delight of his servants, she stood before him with joined palms, her heart is overwhelmed with love, the hair on her body stood on their end and she was unable to utter a word, the most blessed Ahilya cleaved to his feet and tears streamed from both eyes, recovering herself she recognized the lord and by the grace of Sri Rama attained devotion to his feet,

In the guileless speech, she began to praise the Lord, glory to the Lord of Raghus who is accessible through spiritual knowledge, I am an impure woman, while the lord is able to sanctify the whole world and is the delight of his servants, O lotus-eyed enemy of the Ravana, pray to save me, my consort Gautama did well in pronouncing a curse on me and I have deemed it the greatest favor, I have feasted my eyes on Sri hair that yourself, who liberates from the bondage of worldly existence, Lord Sankara deems your sight as the only blessing worth the same, 

Lord, I am very innocent of heart, I have only one request to make, I seek no other boon from you, my master, I only crave for my mind may ever continue to enjoy the love for your lotus feet, dust even as the sucks the honey from lotus, the merciful lord Sri Hari placed on my head the same lotus feet from which issued the holiest Ganga, the heavenly river, which is born by Shiva on his head and which is adorned by Brahma, having thus praised Sri Hari and falling again and again at his lotus feet Gautama's Ahilya took leave of the Lord and securing a boon, which she held most dear to her heart, she went to her husband's abode full of joy,

The Lord Sri Hari is such a great friend of the humble and compassionate beyond one's deserts, adore him, O foolish Tulsidasa, giving up all deceit and wily wrangling,

LET ME HAVE SRI RAMA,

 Jai Sri Ram,

The great enlightened hermit Vishvamitra lived in a forest knowing it to be a sacred spot, practiced Japa and Yoga, and performed many sacrifices but was much afraid of Marica and Subahu, for as soon as they saw a sacrifice they would hasten to desecrate it to the great chagrin of the sage, who felt disturbed in his mind and thought the wicked rakshasa could not be disposed of without Sri Hari,

The great sage then said to himself, the lord has already taken birth in order to relieve the earth of its burden, let me make the outrage of the demons an excuse of seeing his feet and after due entreaty bring the two brothers here, I will regale my eyes with the sight of him who is the abode of knowledge, dispassion, and all virtues,

Indulging in expectations of various kinds the age took no time in reaching his destination, bathing in the stream of Sarayu, he proceeded to the royal court, when the king heard of the sage's visit he went out to meet him with a party of brahmans, prostrating himself on the ground the king reverently brought him on his own throne, then, washing the sage's feet, he paid him great honors, and said, no one else is as blessed as I am today and entertained sage through various ways, sage was much delighted,

Then the king placed his four sons on the sage's feet, at the sight of Rama sage forget all about, was enraptured as he gazed at the beauty of Sri Rama, sage forget all about himself, gladdened at heart king said, revered sir, you have never shown such grace to me before, tell me what brings you here, I will carry out your order without delay, Host of demons molest me, O king, I, therefore, come to ask something of you, LET ME HAVE SRI RAMA,  with his younger brother Laxmana, with the extermination of the demons I will feel secure,

He would listen to the Vedas and Puranas with rapt attention and would himself expound the truths contained therein to his younger brothers, rising at the break of the day Rama would bow his head to his parents and preceptor, and obtaining their permission, busied himself with the affairs of the city,

attained boyhood

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Hari indulged in many kinds of childish sports to the great delight of his servants, after some time all four brothers passed the stage of infancy, gladdening the inmates of the house, the preceptor then came and performed the ceremony of tonsure, and the Brahmans received handsome presents for officiating at the same, all the four noble princes moved about indulging in numerous plays, which were most delightful to look at, the Lord, who cannot be comprehended through mind, speech or action, sported in the courtyard of Dasaratha, 

When the king while at dinner called him he would not turn up, loth as he was to leave the company of his playmates, when Kaushalya went to call him, the lord would run away toddling, he whom the Vedas declare in negative terms, and whose end even Shiva could not find, the mother ran to catch him by force, with his body besmirched all over with dust, he came and the king smilingly took him in his arms, even while the lord set at dinner, his mind was restless, so that moment he got a chance he would run away hither and thither with cream of delight, his mouth daubed with curds and rice,

His charming and most innocent childish sports have been sung by Sarada, Seasa Sambhu, and the Vedas, those whose mind does not take delight in these have been deprived by the providence of a great good fortune, when all the four brothers attained boyhood, the preceptor as well as their parents invested them with the sacred thread, Sri Rama then proceeded to his preceptor's residence for study and in a short time mastered all the branches of knowledge,

What great fun that Sri Hari, whose natural breath stands crystallized in the form of the four Vedas should go to school, proficient in learning and perfect in politeness, virtues and decorum, they played all the games imitating the role of a king, with arrows and bow in the hands of each they appeared most charming, their beauty enraptured the whole creation, through whichever street they passed in pursuits of their sports, all the people there stood motionless on perceiving them,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

do not reveal this fact anywhere

 Jai Sri Ram,

She saw therein countless suns and moons, Shiva's and Brahmas, and a number of mountains, rivers, oceans, plains, and woods, as well as the spirit of the time, the truth of Karma, the features of nature, the heart of knowledge, many more things that hard to perceive which she never heard before,

She further perceived Maya that is powerful in all aspects, stricken with terror and standing with her palms joined together, the mother also beheld the embodied soul, who is made up to dance by Maya, and even so the spirit of devotion, which liberates the soul

The hair of the mother's body bristles and she stands speechless, closing her eyes she bowed her head at the Lord's feet, seeing the mother struck with wonder the slayer of Khara assumed the form of a child again, she was unable to utter praises and trembled at the thought that she had looked upon the father of the universe as her own child, 

Sri Hari confronted his mother in many ways and Said, Listen, my mother, do not reveal this fact anywhere, joining her palms Kaushalya prayed again and again, see, my lord that your Maya no longer cast her spell on me,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

one day

 Jai Sri Ram,

One day, Mother Kaushalya washed and adorned her boy and put him to sleep in the cradle, thereafter she bathed herself in order to worship the patron deity of her family, having worshipped the deity she offered him food and then returned to the kitchen, 

when she came back to the place of worship, she beheld her boy eating the food that had been offered to the lord, frightened at this, the mother went to her boy and found him asleep in the nursery, going back once more to the temple she still saw the boy there,

She now trembled with fear and her mind found no rest, she saw the two boys one in the temple and the other in the nursery, and she said to herself, is it my mental illusion, or some other unusual phenomenon, when Sri Rama saw her mother perplexed, the lord gently smiled, 

The Lord then revealed to her mother the marvelous form, every pore of whose skin contained millions of universes,

lord of Raghus repaid him

 Jai Sri Ram,

The all-blissful lord, who is above delusion and transcends knowledge, speech, and all sensuous perception, sported like an innocent child, yielded to the supreme love of the royal couple, 

In this way Sri Rama, the father, and mother of the universe delighted the people of Ayodhya, Bhavani this demonstrates how those who have conceived devotion to the feet of the lord of Raghus repaid him, on the other hand, no one can liberate from the bondage of worldly existence him who is averse to the Lord,

However much he may struggle, even that Maya which was held under her sway all living beings, both animate and inanimate, tremble before the Lord, who makes her dance to the play of his eyebrows, leaving such a lord who betakes themselves to him in thought, word and deed giving up all cleverness,

In this way the lord sported as a child, to the delight of all people of the city, the mother would now handle him in her arms, and now put him down and rock him in the cradle, Kausalya remained so rapt in love that days and nights passed unnoticed, out of affection for her boy she would sing lay of his childhood,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

strange phenomena

 Jai Sri Ram,

Kaikayi and Sumitra each gave birth to a lovely boy, the joy, grandeur, and solemnity of the occasion and the concourse of men was more than what Sarada and the serpent king describe, the city of Ayodhya wore a Galla appearance, it looked as if night had come to the see the lord and feeling abashed as it were at the sight of the sun, had deliberately stayed over in the twilight, clouds of insenses represented the dusk and handcuffs of red powder tossed up and wafted in the air represented the reddish light of sunset, 

The host of jewels that gleamed on housetops looked like so many stars while the round pinnacle on the top of the royal palace corresponds to the beautiful moon, the murmuring sound of the chanting of Vedas in the palace resembled the Chirping of birds appropriate to the occasion, gazed upon this spectacle the sun got himself, a whole month passed without his knowing it, the days passed  the length of a month and but no one could understand the mystery, the sun stood motionless with his chariot, how could there be any night, 

Nobody noticed the strange phenomena, the sun last moved ahead singing the praises of Sri Rama, as he went, witnessing the great festival of gods, sages and Nagas proceeded to their several abodes congratulating themselves of their good luck, I tell you one more convict act of mine, listen to it, for I know your steadfast faith, The sage Kakbhusandi and myself both were there together in human form without anyone knowing it, elated with supreme joy and the delight of love we roamed about the streets in ecstasy forgetting ourselves, he alone who enjoyed Sri Rama's grace could be apprised of this blessed adventure of ours. 

On that occasion king granted the desires of everyone's heart, in whatever manner one come he bestowed elephants chariots, horses, gold, cows, diamonds, and costumes of various kinds,  all were satisfied in their heart and invoked blessings here and there saying, May all the sons of Dasaratha live long those lord of Tulsidasa,

They entered the portals of the royal palace singing as they went along, waving lights and passing offerings round and round over the child's head as an act of exorcism they threw themselves at the babe's feet, again and again,

Bard minstrels, panegyrists, and songsters chanted solemn praises to the lord of Raghus, everyone gave whatever one possessed even he who received did not retain it, all the lanes of the city were muddy with pastes of musk, sandal, and saffron, 

There was happy music of festivity in every house, for the very fountain of beauty had manifested himself, all the men and women of the city were full of joy everywhere,

 Jai Sri Ram,

For the sake of Brahmanas, cows, gods, and saints, the lord, who transcends Maya and is beyond the three modes of Prakriti, as well as beyond the reach of the senses took birth as a man assuming a form is a product of his own will,

On hearing the most pleasing sound of the baby's cries all the queens came in a flurry, maidservants ran helter-skelter in great delight, and all the people of the city were transported with joy, when the riding of the birth of a son reached Dasaratha's ears he was drowned as it were in the ecstasy of absorption into Brahma, 

With a mind saturated with the highest love and with a body thrilling all over with joy he sought to rise while attempting to recover his senses, The Lord whose very name brings blessings with it even when it reaches one's ears, has arrived at my house, he said to himself, and the thought filled his mind with supreme joy,

Sending the musicians, he said play on your instruments, the preceptor Vasishta was also summoned and he called at the palace door, with an embodiment of beauty and possessed more than one could tell, after performing the Nandimuka shraddha, the king completed all the rites connected to the birth of a child and made gifts of golds cows and jewels to the Brahmanas,

The Vedas proclaimed that every pore of your body contains multitudes of the universe brought forth by Maya, that such a lord stayed in my womb, this amusing story staggers the mind of even men of wisdom when the revelation came upon the mother, THE LORD SMILED,

He would perform many a sportive act, therefore he exported her by telling her the charming account of her previous birth so that she might love him as her own child, the mother's mind was changed, she spoke again, GIVE UP THE SUPERHUMAN FORM and indulges in childish sports, which are so dear to a mother's heart, and joys that come from such sports is unequaled in every way, hearing these words, the lord of immortals become an infant and began to cry, those who sin this attain to the abode of Sri Hari,

When Brahma perceived that the time of Sri Rama's birth had approached, gods came out, and the bright heaven was crowded with their hosts and troops of Gandharvas chanted praises, and rained down flowers, sky resounded with the beats of the kettledrum,

Having offered their praises the gods returned to their several abodes, when the lord and abode of the universe and the solace of all creatures, manifested himself,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

The king at once

 Jai Sri Ram,

The king at once sent for his beloved consorts, when Kaushalya and other queens arrived there, he gave one-half of the offering to Kausalya, divided the other half into two, one of which offered to Kaikai and the other to Sumitra,

In this way, the queens become pregnant, and they were all glad at heart and felt very happy, from the time Hari found  his way into the womb joy and prosperity reigned in all the worlds,

In the palace shone the queens, who were all mines of beauty, virtue, and glory, some time was thus happily spent, till the time arrived for the Lord to be revealed, 

The position of the sun and the moon, the zodiac signs into which the sun had entered the position of the seven other planets, day turn out to be propitious, that full of delight was all creation, animate  and inanimate, for the birth of Sri Rama is the source of joy,

May Lord bless all,

One day

 Jai Sri Ganesha,

One day king was sad at heart that he had no son, hastened to his preceptor, falling at his feet, expressed the agony of his heart, Guru Said take heart and wait, you will have four sons, who will know through the world and will rid devotees of their fears,

Then Vashista summoned the sage Sringhi and had a noble sacrifice performed by him for the birth of s son to the king, When the sage devotedly offered oblations into the sacred fire, the fire god appeared with an offering of rice boiled with milk in his hand,

Said the fire god, whatever, Vashista has contemplated for you that object is fully accomplished, take this oblation, O king, and divine it in such proportions as you think fit,

The fire god then disappeared after telling the whole assembly what was to be done, the king was transported with ecstasy and could not contain himself for joy,

The terrible outrages

 Jai Sri Ram,

The terrible outrages the demons did beggar description, there is no limit to the evil doings of those who hold violence most dear to their heart, the gods, sages, and celestials,, all repaired to Brahma's abode, with them was poor earth in the form of a cow grievously stricken with fear and grief,

Brahma came to know everything, and realizing in his heart his inability to help her, he said The immortal Lord whose servant you will be my help as well as yours, have patience, earth, Said Brahma, and fix your mind on the feet of Sri Hari, 

Lord knows the distress of his devotees and will put an end to your terrible suffering, All the gods sat in counsel, where can we find the lord, each suggested with his truth but Shiva reveals that I know Sri Hari is present everywhere alike and is revealed by love alone, 

Tell me anyplace time or a quarter of the heaven where the lord is not, having taken the form of all creatures, he is destitute of everything and passionless, he is revealed by love as fire is manifested by friction, Then all with stable-minded Brahma joined his palms and prayed,

May Lord bless all,

ruled the world according to his own will

 Jai Sri Ram,

All three brothers practice austerities of various kinds which complete Brahma to award them boom of their desire, Ravana requested Brahma that My prayer is to have undisputed sovereignty on all the three spheres and at that span, I should die at the hands of none except monkey and men, SO BE IT. said Brahma, 

Then approached Kumbakarana and diluted his mind before asking his wish, Kumbakarana prayed for six-month sleep, a powerhouse of might to defeat anyone in the battle except Sri Hari, then Brahma approached Vibhishan and Said asked a Boon, my son, He asked pure love for the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari Vishnu,

Now Ravana becomes the demon king because of his deeds and truth, his eldest son Maeghanatha was a warrior that none other can ever be, in their race there were many champions the embodiment of might and storehouse of power, 

They assume the form of demonic Maya and deceive the creature the way they will and wish, creating havoc for even gods, Meghanatah roared again and again at gods, challenge them but scared of the greatest demon from Ravana they take refuge in mystic caves, By the might of his arms, Ravana subdued the whole universe and left no one independent, ruled the world according to his own will,

Hearing the curse the king was sore stricken with fear, again a voice heard from heaven, O holy Brahmans, you have uttered this curse without careful thought, the king committed no crime, the king hastened to the kitchen, neither any for nor cook was there, he relates the whole story to Brahmans, threw himself at the ground with fear,

Even though you are guileless, O king, what is inevitable fails not, a Brahman Curse is very terrible, no amount of effort can counter it, so saying Brahmans dispersed, people began to blame the providence, demon Kaal Ketu communicated the tiding to the hermit, 

Every battle was fought in diverse forms, and he lost all the way, all meet the fate of dust, Brahman curse can never be failed, listen, O Bhardwaj, whosoever incurs the displeasure of heaven, for him, a grain of dust becomes vast as mount Meru, a father becomes frightful as Yama that death God, and rope a snake,

 Jai Sri Ram,

The king replied, those who are repositories of wisdom and free from pride like you always keep their reality concealed, even though proficient in everyday, they prefer to remain in tattered clothes, saints and ages proclaimed like you, and are held most dear to Sri Hari, when the hermit saw the king's affection and faith in him, spoke with ever greater affection,

Listen, O king, I tell you sincerely that I have dwelt here for long, no one has come to me so far di I make myself known to anyone, for popular esteem is like a wildfire, which consumes the forest of penance, not only fools, says Tulsidas, but even cleaver men taken by fair appearances, look at the beautiful peacock, though its notes are sweet like nectar, it devours snakes,

I live in a world away from the public gaze, God knows everything without being told, what is to be gained by humoring the world, you are sincere and intelligent therefore dear to me, I earned affection and confidence in you and relate that my name is Ekatanu, King reverently asked the meaning, the hermit said, my birth took place at the dawn of creation, since then, I have never taken another body, that is why I am called Ekatanu, 

Marble, not my son, nothing is difficult to obtain through penance, by the dint of penance Viranchi, Shambu, and Hari perform their respective task, the king felt much enamored by the words of the hermit, he further relates countless stories to win the faith of king, king completely yielded to the influence of the hermit, then proceed to tell him his real name, Said, hermit, I know you, even though you try to deceive me, I appreciate it,  then Pratap Bhanu, express the desire of his heart that I see you so gracious and ask a boon which is impossible to attain that let my body be free from old age, let no one vanquish me in battle, let me enjoy undisputed sovereignty over the globe for hundred Kalps and let me have no enemy, the hermit said, be so, if you escape from Brahmans curse, never let anyone of meeting with me,

King said, listen of Sage, there is a king named Pratap Bhanu, I am his minister, in pursuit of the game I have lost my way, and with great fortune, I have been led into your presence, your sight is a rare boon to me, The hermit said, it is now dusk, and your city is five hundred sixty miles away, listen, O friend, dark and dreamy I the night and forest is dense and trackless, knowing this, terry here overnight and depart next morning,

The inevitable, says Tulsidas, is invariably preached by circumstances that are favorable to it, either it comes to a man or takes him to the cause of doom, Very well, my lord king said, he tied the horse to a tree and sat down, the king extolled him in many ways, bowing to his feet congratulated himself, King now request him about his identity, the king did not recognize him, but hermit recognized him,

Fire of jealousy smoldered within his heart like a furnace, recalling the grudge he had nursed against him, thus uttered soft yet artful words, my name is Bhikari, a mendicant, penniless and homeless as I am,

O my master

 Jai Sri Ram,

On seeing his love and hearing his invaluable words, the compassionate Lord said, but where shall I go to find my equal, I myself, O king, shall be a son of you, then seeing Satrupa with her hands folded, He Said,

O good lady, ask whatever boon you please, O gracious Lord, the boon which the clever king has just asked has appealed to me much, But it is a great presumption, my lord, even though such presumption is liked by you,,

O friend of devotees, you are the progenitor even of Brahma and other gods, the lord of the universe and the supreme being who dwells in the heart of all, realizing this, my mind is filled with doubt but what, you have said is infallible, 

O my master, the bliss that is enjoyed and the gal that is reached by your own devotees, grant me your mercy, Lord, that very bliss the same destiny, the same devotion, the same attachment to your lotus feet, the same insight and the same mode of living,

May Lord bless all,

I would have a son like you

 Jai Sri Ram,

On hearing the words of the Lord, Manu joined his palms and summoning courage spoke in soft accents, now we have seen your lotus feet, all our desires have been fulfilled, yet one longing still lingers in my heart, It is easy of accomplishment and at the same time hard to attain,

Hence it cannot be expressed, O Lord, it is easy to grant it, but due to my wretched condition it appears to me so hard to attain, just as a pauper who has found a wish-yielding tree feels shy in asking for abundant wealth,

Little realizing its glory, even so, my heart is possessed by doubt, being the witness of all hearts, you know my mind, therefore, O my master, grant my desire, O king, ask of me unreservedly, there is nothing which I would not give you, 

O crest jewel of donors, O gracious lord, I tell you my sincere wish, I would have a son like you, 

May Lord Bless all,

ask whatever boon you will,

 Jai Sri Ram,

His lotus feet, which attract the minds of sages like so many bees, were beyond description, on his left side shone his primordial energy, Sita, who is ever devoted to him, and who is a storehouse of beauty and the source of the universe, 

Sita who stood the left of Rama was the same from the fragment of whose being emanate countless Laxmies, Umas, and Brahmanis, all mine of virtues,  and mere play of whose brows bring cosmos into existence, on the form of Sri Hari, the ocean of beauty, 

Manu and Satrupa gazed intently with unblinking eyes, that incomparable beauty they looked on with reverence and would not feel sated with it, overcome with joy they lost consciousness of their body and fell flat on the ground, clasped his feet with their hands, the gracious Lord touched their heads with his lotus hands and lifted up at once, 

The compassionate lord then said, knowing that I am highly pleased with you and recognizing me as a great donor, ask whatever boon you will, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

eddies on the Yamuna

 Jai Sri Ram,

His countenance resembled the autumnal full moon, was the very perfection of beauty, lovely were his cheeks and chin and his neck resembled the conch shell in its spiral shape, his ruddy lips, teeth, and nose were charming,

His smile put to shame the rays of the moon, his eyes possessed the exquisite beauty of freshly blown lotuses, and his lovely glance captivated the heart, his eyebrows stole the beauty of love's bow and a sectarian mark shone on the forehead, fish-shaped earrings hung from his earlobes and a crown adorned his head,  

His curly locks looked like a swarm of bees, and his breast was marked by the curl of hair and adorned with the beautiful wealth of sylvan flower, a string of precious stones, and other jeweled ornaments, and his strong and well build neck resembled that of a lion, and the lovely scared thread was suspended from it, 

His long beautiful arms resembled the trunk of an elephant, and the ornaments, that adorned them were also charming a quiver was tied to his waist and his hands bore an arrow and a bow,  His yellow robes put  to shame streaks of lightening and his belly had three folds while his attractive navel robbed as it were, the eddies on the Yamuna of their beauty,

For ten thousand years they refused to inhale even air, held their breath, and remained standing on one leg, beholding their great penance Brahma, Hari, and Hararepeatedly called on Manu, tempted him in many ways, saying ASK FOR A BOON, but the king and queen were most resolute,

Ask, Ask for a boon, the voice was steeped in the nectar of compassion, and was so charming that it infused life into the dead, entering through the cavity of ears when it reached their very heart, they found their body attractive, animated and robust as before as if they had just returned from home,

As the Royal couple heard words, which were delighted to the ear as nectar itself. the hair on their body bristled and a thrill ran through their limb, then fell prostrate on the ground, and with his heart overflowing with love Spoke_

resigned the throne to his son

 Jai Sri Ram,

Manu then resigned the throne to his son, and departed for the forest with his wife, preeminent of all holy places is the celebrated Namisharanya, the most sacred and bestowed success on those striving for realization, multitudes of sages and adepts lived there, glad of heart kind proceed to that place, passing along the road, king and queen of resolute mind looked like the incarnation of spiritual wisdom and devotion respectively, on reaching the bank of Gomati, they bathed with delight in the limpid stream, 

Adepts and enlightened sages came to see him recognizing him in the roral sage a champion of virtue, reverently look upon them to all holy and lovely spots that were scattered here and there, with emaciated bodies and clad in hermits robes they daily listened to the Puranas, devotedly repeated the twelve letter verse, the mind was fondly devoted to the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu,

 They lived on vegetables, fruits, and roots and meditated on the absolute that Brahma, who by nature is truth personified, conscious, and bless combined, again they started penance for the sake of Hari, giving up roots and fruits for water alone, their heart was clamored, let us see with our eyes that supreme Lord who is without attributes, without parts and without beginning or end, who is contemplated by the exponents of the highest reality, whom Vedas describe in Negative terms, not this-not this, 

Who is bliss itself, unconditioned and without companion and form a particle of whose being emanate a number of Sambhus, Viranchis, and Vishnus, even such lord is subordinate to his devotees and assumes for their sake a form suitable for sport, if the above utterances of the Vedas are true, our desire will be surely accomplished, in this way six thousand years elapsed even while they lived on water, then another seven millennia they lived on air alone,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

of them born this human race

 Jai Sri Ram,

Hear, O daughter of the mountain king, another reason, why the unbegotten unequaled and formless Brahma became king of Ayodhya, I shall relate at length the marvelous story connected with it, the Lord whom you saw roaming in the forest with his brother in the garb of hermits, and whose doings drove you mad in the form of Sati to such an extent that the shadow of that madness haunts you even to this day,

Hear his exploits, which serve as a cure for the disease of delusion, the supportive deeds performed by the lord in that birth, I shall relate them all to the best of my talents, hearing Sankara's words. O Bhardwaj, Uma blushed and smiled with love. Shiva then began to describe the cause of the Lord's descent on that particular occasion, I proceed to tell you about it, listen attentively, the story of Sri Rama wipes out all the impurities of the kali age, bring forth all blessings, and is most charming,

Swayambhu Manu had Satrupa as his wife, of them born this human race, peerless in God's creation, the piety, and conduct of the pair were excellent, and the standard of morality set up by them is sung by the Vedas to this day, their son was king Uttanapada, who begot the celebrated devotee of Sri Hari, Manu's younger son was known as Priyavrata, who is mentioned with praise by the Vedas and the Puranas, they had a daughter too, Devahuti by name, who was the favorite consort of sage Kardama, and who bore in her womb the all-powerful and benevolent Lord Kapila, the primal divinity, compassionate to the humble, expounded the philosophy of Sankhya, 

As adept as he was in the inquiry after the ultimate principles, The said Manu ruled for a long period and followed the Lord's commandant every day, I have reached the fourth age of my life while still living as a householder, but I have not relished the pleasure of senses, said to himself, felt sorely distressed at heart that his life had been wasted without devotion to Sri Hari,

May Lord bless all,

It is a day of Mook{silent} Satsang, it is a day of Sri Vishnu Pad Puja, indeed a day to realize the ideal of being man, a day that helps in inspiration and advances in the spiritual endeavors of men if taken in spirit,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
