long lost treasure

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sita's beauty defies all description, the mother of the universe that She is and an embodiment of charm and excellence, all companions seem to me too poor, for they have an affinity with limbs of moral women, proceeding to depict sita with the help of those very smiles why should one earn the title of an unworthy poet and court ill repute,

Should Sita be linked to any woman of this material creation, where is this world, such one comes across as such a lovely damsel, Sita's clever companions escorted her to the arena, singing songs in a charming voice, a beautiful Sari adorned her youthful frame, 

The Mother of the universe was incomparable in her exquisite beauty, and ornaments of all kinds have been decked by her companions with great care, when Sita Stepped into the arena, all were fascinated by her charms, and gods gladly sounded their kettle drums, celestials rained downed flowers,

Sita cast a hurried glance at all the princes, while Sita looked for Sri Rama with an anxious heart, all the prices found themselves in the grip of infatuation, Sita discovered the two brothers by the side of the sage, and her eyes greedily fell on them as on a long lost treasure,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Sri Somvati Amavasya

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Somvati Amavasya today, a night which may enlighten the truth of embodied soul with a mild application of self through respective discipline,

Each and every Amavasya relates to the soul and the cause it relates to but when it falls on Monday, the potency of its active truth rises up like anything to help the spirit recover fast from the delusion of Maya which binds it badly in the cycle,

There is no rocket science to reach the truth of the day that to revamp self, just mild application of self through respective discipline to sanctity self and rest follows in auto mode, 

Sri Pitar Pujan could be an advantage for material gains too, repair of the serene cult of self could be the prime subject through adoration of the day, being a low tide day, it helps to subside the hypes created by Maya in inner truth of self,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Janaka then sent for Sita

 Jai Sri Ram,

Do not just brag and throw away your lives in vain, hunger cannot be satiated with imaginary sweets, listen to this most salutary advice, be inwardly assured that Sita is no other than the mother of the universe, and after recognizing the lord of Raghus as the father of the universe, feast your eyes to their fill on his beauty,

Fountain of joy and embodiment of virtues, these two charming brothers have their abode in Sanbhu's heart, leaving an ocean of nectar, which is so near, why should you run in pursuits of mirage, and court death,

Or else do whatever pleases you individually, we for our part have reaped today the fruit of our human birth, so saying the good kings turned to gaze with affection on the picture of incomparable  beauty, while in heaven the gods witnessed the spectacle from their aerial cars, and raining down flowers sang in melodious strains,

Rama will certainly marry Sita

 Jai Sri Ram,

All the kings were disheartened at the sight of the Lord, just as stars fade away with the rising of the full moon, for they all felt inwardly assured that Rama would undoubtedly break the bow, or even if the huge bow of Shiva proved too strong for him, that Sita would still place the garland of victory round his neck, 

They, therefore, said to one another, realizing this, brothers, let us turn homewards, casting to the winds all glory, fame, strength, and pride, other princes were blind with ignorance and pride, laughed at this, and said, union with princes is a far cry for Rama even if succeeds in breaking the bow,

Who, then, can wed without wed her without breaking it, should death himself for once come forth against us, even him we would conquer in the battle for Sita's sake, at this other prince, who was pious and sensible and devoted to Sri Hari, smiled and said, 

Rama will certainly marry Sita to the discomfiture of these arrogant princes, for who can conquer in battle the valiant sons of Dasaratha, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

rejoiced to behold

Every man found Sri Rama facing himself, but none could perceive the great mystery behind it, the sage told the king that the arrangements were splendid and the king was highly satisfied and pleased to hear this, 

Of all the tiers of raised seats, one was beautiful, bright, and capacious above all the rest, the king seated the two brothers along with the sage thereon,

Thoughtwinkling like stars, all the princes put together are unable to lift the thick darkness in the form of a bow, the sun is up, the darkness has disappeared, stars have vanished out of sight, under the pretense of rising, and the sun has demonstrated to all princes the glory of Sri Rama, 

It is in order to reveal the might of your arms that the process of breaking the bow has been set into operation, the lord smiled at these remarks of his brother, he who is pure by his very nature then performed the daily acts of purification and bathed, after finishing the daily routine of prayer, called on his Guru, bowed their heads at his lotus feet, 

Meanwhile, Janaka summoned his preceptor and sent him at once to the sage Kaushik, Sadananad communicated to Visvamitra Janaka's humble submission, and Visvamitra gladly sent the two brothers, adoring Sadanand's feet the lord went and sat down by his Guru, Said the sage, come on my son, Janaka has sent for us, let us go and see how Sita elects her husband,

Invardly praising Sita's beauty

 Jai Sri Ram,

Invardly praising Sita's beauty, both returned to their Guru, Sri Rama related everything to Kaushika, for he was innocent of heart and free from all guile, having got the flowers the sage performed his devotions and then blessed two brothers, may your heart desire be accomplished, both glad to hear the benediction, 

After finishing the meals the great and illumined sage began to recite old legends, the day was thus spent, two brothers proceeded to ever prayers with Guru's permission, in the meantime charming moon rose in the eastern horizon, perceiving her orbs resembled Sita's face Sri Rama felt happy, drama reasoned within himself, the queen of the night bears no resemblance to Sita,

Born of the ocean, with poison for her brother, dim and obscure by the day, and with a dark spot in her orb, how can it be matched with Sita's countenance, The moon waxes and wanes, is the cause of lovesick damsels, devoured by Rahu when she crosses the latter's orbit, cause anguish to the ruddy oose and wither the lotus, there are numerous faults, one would incur the blame of having done a highly improper act by comparing moon with Sita, 

Thus finding the moon a pretext for extolling the beauty of Sita and perceiving that the night had far advanced Rama returned to his Guru and receiving his permission to retire to rest, talking to his brother, the day dawned to the delight of lotus, Cakravaka, and the whole world, joining palms Laxman spoke to Rama, the day has dawned, lily has faded, the brightness of the star is dimmed, 

May Lord bless all,

you are enamored shall indeed be your

 Jai Sri Ram,

Drooping at the thought of the unyielding bow of Shiva, she perceived an image of the swarthy form in her heart, when lord perceived that Janaka's daughter, a fountain of bliss, affection, grace, and goodness, was going, he sketched her on the sheet of his heart with the soft ink of supreme love,

Sita then sought Bhavani's temple and adoring her feet, prayed to her with joined palms, glory, all glory to you, O daughter of the mountain king, Glory to you, who gaze on the countenance of the great lord Shiva,  Glory to you, O mother of Ganesha, and swami Kartikey, mother of the universe without beginning and the end, your libs are shinning as lighting, you are responsible for the birth, maintenance, and destruction, enchant the whole universe and carry on your sports independently, of all good women who adore their husband as a god, you rank foremost, your immersable greatness is more than a thousand Sarada and Sesas could tell, 

The fourfold rewards of life are easily attainable through your service, O bestowed of Boons, beloved of Shiva, all who adore your lotus feet attain happiness be they gods, men or sages, you know well my heart longing since you ever dwell in every heart, that why I refrained from openly expressing it, with these words Vedehi clasped to the feet of the idol, Bhavani was overwhelmed by her meekness and devotion, the wrath of the image dropped and the idol smiled, Sita reverently placed the divine gift on her head, Gauri's heart was filled with delight while she spoke,

Hear Sita, may the infallible blessing, your heart's desire shall be accomplished, Narada's sword is ever faultless and true, the suitor on whom your heart is set shall indeed be yours, The handsome suitor of whom you are enamored shall indeed be your, the gracious lord Shiv is aware of your fidelity and love, Sita and her companions were deleted to hear this blessing from Gauri, Finding Gauri favorable disposed towards her, sita was more glad of the heart than words can tell, her left limbs began to throb, indicating her good fortune,

May Lord bless all,

Again and again

 Jai Sri Ram,

Beholding the ornament of the solar race, who had a slender waist like that of a lion and was clad in yellow, and was the very embodiment of beauty and amiability, Sita's companions forget their very existence, recovering herself, one of her cleaver companions grasped Sita by the hand and said her,

Meditate on Gauri afterward, why not behold the prince just now, Sita then bashfully opened her eyes and saw the two lions of Raghu's race opposite herself, surveying Sri Rama's beauty from head to foot in the reverse order, and remembering her father's vow, she felt much perpetuated, when Sita's companions saw her this overcome with love, they all cried in alarm, 

We are late already, let us come again at this very hour tomorrow, so saying one of them smiled within herself Sita blushed at this pregnant remark, she got afraid of her mother, for she felt it was already late, recovering herself from the considerable effort she received Sri Rama into her heart and conscious of her dependence on her sire returned home,

Under the pretense of looking at a deer, bird, or tree she turned again and again and each time she gazed on the beauteous Hero Raghu's race, her love waxed not a little,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please  

a pair of spotless moons

 Jai Sri Ram,

While Sri Rama was Talking to his younger brother in this strain, his mind, which was enamored of Sita's beauty, was all the time drinking in the loveliness of her countenance, like a bee sucking the nectar from a lotus, Sita look timidly all around, her mind was at a loss as to where the prices had gone, wherever the fawn eyes prices cast her glance, a continuous of white lotuses seemed to rain there

Her companions then pointed out to her the two lovely princes, standing behind a fence of creepers, beholding the beauty of the two brothers her eyes were filled with greed, they rejoiced as if they had discovered their longest treasure, EYES BECOME MOTIONLESS AT THE SIGHT OF SRI RAMA's LOVELINESS, the eyelids too forgot to fall, 

Due to the excess of Love her body consciousness began to fail, it looked as if a Cacora bird were gazing at the autumn moon, Receiving Sri Rama into her heart through the passage of eyes, she cleverly shut up there by closing the doors of her eyelids, when her girl companions found sita overpowered with love, they were too much abashed to utter a word, 

The very moment the two brothers emerged from a bower, it looked as if a pair of spotless moons had shone forth tearing the veil of cloud. the two gallant heroes were very perfection in beauty, as the incarnation of cupid, most charming,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

amorous glance on another's wife

 Jai Sri Ram, 

Recollecting Narada's words was filled with innocent love, and with anxious eyes, she gazed all around like a started fawn, Hearing the thinking of bangles, the small bells tied around the waist and anklets Sri Rama thought within himself and then Said Laxman, it seems as if cupid has sounded his kettledrum with intent to conquer the universe, so saying he looked once  again, in the same direction, whence the sound came, and his eyes feasted themselves on Sita's countenance even as the Cakora bird gazes on the moon,

His charming eyes become motionless as if Nimi, the god of winking had left the eyelids out of shyness, Sri Rama was filled with rapture to behold Sita's beauty, he admired it in his heart, but utterances failed him, he felt as if the creator had put his whole creative skill in visible form and demonstrated it to the world at large, she lends charm to charm itself, he said to himself and looks as if a flame of light is burning in a house of beauty, 

The similes already employed by the poets are all state and hackneyed to whom shall I liken the daughter of Videha, thus describing to himself Sita's loveliness and reflecting on his own condition the lord innocently spoke to his younger brother in terms appropriate to the occasion, Brother she is no other than the daughter of king Janaka, for whom the bow sacrifice is being arranged, she has been escorted by her girl companions to worship goddess Gauri and is moving about in the garden diffusing light all about her, 

My heart which is naturally pure is agitated by the sight of transcendental beauty, the reason for this all is known to God alone, but I tell you, brother, my right limbs are throbbing, which is an index of coming good fortune, it is a natural trait with te race of Raghus that they never set their heart on evil courses, as for myself I am fully confident of my mind, which has never sought another's wife even in a dream, rare in the world are those noble men who never turn their back on the foe in battle nor give their heart to or cast an  amorous glance on another's wife and whom no beggar meets with a rebuff,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

Both brothers were delighted to behold the garden with its lake, most lovely must have been that garden which delighted even Sri Ram, after looking all about, they began to glee to gather leaves and flowers, on that very occasion Sita arrived there to worship Girija with her companions, they sang melodies in enchanting voice, 

Close to the lake stood a temple, Sacred to Girija, beautiful beyond description and captivating the mind of those who looked at it, having dipped into the lake, Sita went with a glad heart to the temple, she offered worship with great devotion and begged of the goddess a handsome match worthy of her,

One of her companions had stayed away from her in order to have a look at the garden, she chanced to behold the two brothers and returned to Sita overwhelmed with love when her companion saw her condition, her body thrilling all over and her eyes full of tears, they all asked her in gentle tones, tell us what gladdens your heart,

Two princes have come to see the garden, both of tender age, charming in every way, for speech is sightless, while the eyes are mute, all were delighted to hear this, perceiving the intense longing in Sita's bosom one of them said, they must be two who arrived yesterday with Visvamitra, the limit of beauty, all are talking about, we must see them, the words highly pleased Sita, her eyes were restless for the sight of the princes, with that kind friend to lead the way she followed no one knew that hers was an old love,

At the approach of night, the sage gave the word and all performed their evening devotions, and while the sage recited old legends and narratives, two watches of the beautiful night passed, the sage retired to his bed, two brothers began to rub his feet, the couple whose lotus feet are sought by men of dispassion muttering various sacred formulae and practicing different kinds of Yoga, lovingly rubbed the lotus feet of Guru, conquered as it were by his love,

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,

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,

Making over to him every kind of weapon the sage took the lord to his own hermitage and devotedly gave him bulbs, roots, and fruits to eat, perceiving in him his greatest Lord,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

My lovely boys

 Jai Sri Ram,

Entrust them to me, O king, with a cheerful heart, let no infatuation or ignorance stand in your way, you will earn religious merit and fair renown there, and your sons will be highly blessed, hearing this most unwelcome demand the king's heart quivered and the brightness of his countenance faded, 

He said I have been blessed with four sons in my old age, you have, therefore, made your demand without due consideration, holy sir, ask of me land, cattle, goods, and treasure, and I will gladly give all I have without delay, nothing is dearer to than one's body and life, but in no case can I afford to spare Rama, my Lord, 

My lovely boys, who are yet too young, are no match for the most hideous and relentless demons, the enlightened hermit Vishvamitra felt delighted at heart to hear the king's reply, steeped as it was in the nectar of love, the Vashista Pleaded with the king in manifold ways and all his doubts were gone, most politely he sent for the two boys and pressed them to his blossom admonished them in many ways,

Turning to the sage he then said, my lord, the two boys are my very life, you are their only father now, holy sir, there is no one to look after them, invoking various blessings on the boys the king committed them to the care of the sage, then they called at the mother's apartment and bowing their head at the feet departed, the tow heroes, lions among men, oceans of compassion, resolute of purpose and the ultimate cause of the whole universe, gladly proceeded to rid the sage of his fear,

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,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

The people of Ayodhya

 Jai Sri Ram,

The people of Ayodhya, men, and women, elderly men as well as children, all held the gracious Rama dearer than life, calling the half brothers and playmates Sri Rama would take them with him and go to the forest for hunting every day, He would deliberately kill the only game and brought and showed the daily bag to the king, 

The beasts that were killed by Rama's shaft went straight to heaven after death, he took his meals with his younger brothers and companions and obeyed the orders of his parents, he would always contrive means to delight the people of the city,

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,

The King was glad at heart to see His noble acts, the lord who is all-pervading, indivisible, desireless, unbegotten, attributeless and without name or form, performed marvelous deeds of various kinds for the sake of his devotees,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

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, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Sri Makar Sankranti today

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Makar Sankranti today, is a day to recall the truth of the sun god that cause the soul, being it has started its Yajna to help the embodied souls on the planet for their welfare,

In one of its aspects, this Yajna bridges the gulf between the self and its sole goal, that to enter the region of its blissful unification,

Thanks, please 

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

ALL PERVADING BRAHMA

 Jai Sri Ram,

The preceptor assigned these Names after careful thought and then said, your four sons O king are the essence of four Vedas, Of them, Rama is the sages' treasure, the devotees ' all in all, and Shiva's life, he takes delight in the rapture of childish sports, from earlier days Laxmana came to look after Sri Rama, as his benefactor and master, and conceived devotion to his feet, 

The love that existed between the two half brothers, Bharata and Shatrughan, was as glorious as that which obtains between a master and his servant, as the mother gazed on the beauty of two lovely pairs, they found breaking the blade of grass in order to avert the evil eye, though they all four embodiment of amiability, beauty, and goodness,

Yet Rama was an ocean of bliss par excellence, in his heart shown the moon of grace and his captivating smile represented its rays, now on her lap and now in the beautiful cradle, the mother found him caring for him her own darling,

 Jai Sri Ram,

A few days rolled on in this way, and days and nights passed knowing that the time had come for naming the children, the king sent for the enlightened sage Vashista, and after paying him homage the king spoke to him thus, Holy sir, kindly assign them names that you have fixed your mind upon,

Ther names are many and unique, yet O king, I will declare them according to my own lights, the eldest boy of yours, who is an ocean of felicity and embodiment of joy, a particle of which fills the three worlds with delight has for his name RAMA, the very home of bliss and comforter of all worlds,

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,

festal arches,

 Jai Sri Ram,

The city was full of festal arches, showing flowers from heaven, and everyone was rapped in the joy of absorption in Brahma, women streaming forth in troops carrying jars of gold and salvers full of auspicious articles, 

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, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

For the sake of Brahmanas

 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, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

The Lord smiled

 Jai Sri Ram,

The gracious lord, who is compassionate to the lowly and the benefactor of the Kaushalya Appeared, the thought of his marvelous form, which stole the heart of sages, filled the mother with Joy, his body was dark as a cloud, the delight of all eyes, in his four arms he bore his characteristic emblems, a conch shell, a discus and a lotus, 

The slayer of demon khar was an ocean of beauty, joining both her palms, the mother said O infinite lord, how can I praise you, The Vedas and Puranas declare you as a transcending Maya, beyond attributes, above knowledge and beyond all measure, he who is sung by the Vedas and the Holy men as an ocean of mercy and bliss and the repositories of virtues, the same lord that lover of devotees has revealed himself for my good,

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,

It was the ninth day

 Jai Sri Ram,

It was the ninth day of the bright half of the sacred month Chaitra, and the moon has entered the asterism named Abhijeet, which is so dear to Sri Hari, the sun was at its meridian, 

The days were neither cold nor warm, a holy time that gave rest to the world, and a cool soft and fragrant breeze was blowing, gods were feeling exhilarated and saints were bubbling with enthusiasm, the wood was full of blossoms, 

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,

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,

All the gods went to their several abodes along with earth, they all felt relieved in their hearts, and the gods were delighted to receive the orders that Brahma gave and lost no time in carrying them out, 

They took the form of monkeys on the earth, their might and glory were incomparable, they were all brave and had mountains, trees, and nails for their weapons, resolute of mind, they awaited the advent of Sri Hari, 

I have related to you all this, now hear, the City of Ayodhya was ruled by then king Dasaratha, champion of virtues, a repository of good qualities, and a man of wisdom, he was a sincere devotee of God Vishnu,

They have appeared in the city of Ayodhya as rulers of men in the form of Dasaratha and Kaushalya, in their house I shall take birth as four brothers, I shall justify all that uttered by Narada, and shall descend with my supreme Energy,

In this way, I shall relieve the earth of all its burden, be fearless O gods, as the divine voice reached the god they returned forth with their hearts soothed, then Brahma astonished earth, which was rid of all fear and fell reassured in her heart,

 Jai Sri Ram,

Glory, all glory to you, O lord of immortals, O delight of devotees, O protector of the suppliant, O benefactor of cows and the Brahmans, O slayer of demons, O beloved consort of Laxmi, O guardian of gods and earth, mysterious are your ways, your secret is known to none, 

You are benevolent by nature and compassionate to the humble known for being the giver of salvation and love, known for being bliss personified, your acts are beyond the veils of Maya, and you are known for being full of dispassion and entirely free from infatuation, 

You are known for being the truth to disperse the fear of transmigration, you delight the minds of sages and end the host of calamities, we all betake ourselves to you for help, Vedas too proclaimed that you are a help to helpless, and savior of suppliant, we all grievously fear stricken bow to your feet for help, 

Knowing that the gods and earth were terror-stricken and hearing their loving entities, a deep voice come from heaven, which removed all the fear and doubts, and anxiety,  

May Lord bless all,

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,

Thanks, please 

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, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
