The world is a spectacle and you are a spectator

 Jai Sri Ram,

As for Laxman, he is no other than the thousand-headed Sesa, the supporter of the globe, and the lord of the entire creation, both animate and inanimate,

The world is a spectacle and you are a spectator,  you make even Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh dance to your tune, 

In fact, he alone can know you, to whom you make yourself known, the moment he knows you, he becomes one with you, it is by your grace, O Rama, that your votaries come to know you, O comforter of the heart of devotees, your body is all consciousness and bliss and is devoid of change, it is the competent alone who realize this,

NO ONE SOURCE OF DELIGHT OR PAIN TO ANOTHER

 Jai Sri Ram,

Again they are equipped with coverlets and sheets, pillows and cushions of various kinds, all soft in the truth of nature that charming as the froth of milk, it is in such attics that Sita and Rama used to sleep at night and humbled by the beauty the pride of Rati, and her consort that love god,

When people around go through the scenario about the exile of Rama, proclaiming that fate is supreme, destiny rules the truth whosever it may be,

Nishad blames Queen Kaykayi for her cruel mischief that brought trouble the Noble Rama, Laxman corrects him in truth with the reality that NO ONE SOURCE OF DELIGHT OR PAIN TO ANOTHER, everyone reaps the fruits of own actions and truth belongs to, union and separation, pleasurable and painful experience, friends and foes are snares of illusion, destiny and time and all illusion of the world is just a phenomenon of this life, whatever is seen, heard or thought of with the mind has its roots in ignorance, Nothing exists in reality,

Suppose in a dream a beggar is crowned king or the lord of Paradise is reduced to the state of a pauper, on waking, one does not gain nor does one lose anything, so must you look upon the world,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

 Jai Sri Ganesha,

Laxman went straight to Sri Rama and accompanied him along with Sita to the King, King overwhelmed with emotion pressed them to the bosom, and was restless to speak, King sincerely tried every means to detain Rama but destiny was not in favor,

King described the terrible hardship of forest life to Sita to retain her but, everyone else too expostulated with Sita dwelling on the miseries of the forest, which did not sound pleasing to Sita's ear, She was too modest to reply upon, 

Kaykayi flared up on hearing their talk and brought forth hermit robes for them, said to Rama, you are excessively dear to king, is too soft to shake off his scruple and attachments, sooner forfeit his virtue bu you, 

Bearing in this mind do as you please, on hearing it Rama bowed his head to all elders, brahmans, and preceptors and departed to the woods leaving everyone in bewilderment, Rama addressed all citizens, take care all of you my dear citizens, to see that none of my mothers is smitten with pangs of separation from me,

succeeded in bursting a strong snare

 Jai Sri Ram,

My admonition to you, dear, child, is this, it is up to you to see that Rama and Sita lead a happy life in the forest through your good conduct and truth, forget their father and mother, near and dear ones as well as the amenities of city life, 

Having thus admonished the Rama, Sumitra granted him leave to accompany Rama, and then invoked her blessings on him, may your devotion to the feet of Sita and Rama be constant and untainted and ever new,

Bowing his head at his mother's feet Laxman left at once with a timid heart apprehending any further development that might balk his plans, and interfere with his accompanying Rama to the forest,

It looked as if a deer had luckily succeeded in bursting a strong snare and made good his escape,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

that is my admonition to you

 Jai Sri Ram,

Remembering the beauty, amiability, and noble disposition of Rama and Sita, and considering the king's affection for them, Sumitra beat her head as she perceived that the wicked Kaikeyi had played him foul,

Perceiving the time, she recollected herself, Said to Laxman that Ayodhya is there where there is Sri Rama, bearing in mind my words accompany Rama to the forest and derive, my boy, the benefit of your existence in the world,

It is Your great fortune as well as mine, I solemnly declare, that your mind has sincerely taken tip its abode in Rama's feet, That woman alone can be said to have borne  a male issue, whose son is a devotee of Rama, 

Giving up all sorts of morbid feelings serve them in thought words and deeds, take care, my son, that Raa may be put to no trouble in the woods, that is my admonition to you,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

 Jai Sri Ram,

When Laxman got the news, ran with a doleful face, clasped Sri Rama's feet with emotions, unable to speak, and said to himself, what Rama command to me, will he leave me at home or take me with him,

Rama asked Laxman, pray do not lose your heart, convinced  in yourself that end will be a happy one, those who reverently follow their father, mother, and preceptor reaped the fruit of their birth, 

Listen to my advice, Bharata and Shatrughan are not at home, be at home, while the king is in deep grief for my sake, if I took you to woods Ayodhya will be rendered masterless, Laxman overwhelmed with emotion and could not answer but clasped Rama's feet once more to express his very self in noble words, 

Rama accepted his truth to join him in the woods and asked him to go and get leave of his mother, Laxman apprehended that things might go wrong, and his mother may frustrate his plan in emotional feelings for him, felt nervous and agitating in asking leave,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please

 Jai Sri Ram,

That very moment Sita heard the news and rose in great agitation to approach her mother-in-Law revered her lotus feet and sat down bowing her head, She Said, the lord is my life would depart to the forest, indeed a good fortune to accompany him,

Sri Rama manifests on the scene and tries to explain the truth of the forest and the hardship of life, hard even to look for water, and it different kinds of beasts and demons on the way may pose challenges, 

Sita relates her life without his company, alike a river without water, body without soul, and lastly clear that it would be hard for her to be in body with him here if you leave me in Ayodhya till the expiry of your exile you may rest assured that I shall not survive, O friend of forlorn and the afflicted, lastly lord accepted her truth to accompany her along with,

Sri Shani Jayanti

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Amavasya today, this one is special being in truth with the appearance day of Bhagwan Shani Dev which relates to Vat Pujan too,

The form of Lord Saturn is apparent to his truth and cause that he serve since ages on the sphere of life to unfold the karmic baggage for the embodied soul,

The truth of Lord Saturn can be visualized through the charter of eternal preceptor that none other than Lord Shiva,

This new moon is not limited to the truth of these events that most concern with the life of beings and the truth of nature and man with its roots in celestial truth but much more than the perceptive skill of even enlightened sages, bow my head unto the truth of the day to convey my eternal regards, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

May all gods and manes protects you

 Jai Sri Ram,

Realizing this I do not press my suit to exaggerate my false love, I only pray that remembering me as a mother you should not allow me to slip out of your mind,

May all gods and manes protects you, the term of exile is like water, while your near and dear ones resemble  the fish that live on it, I adjure you to proceed to the woods in good cheer abandoning your servants, family, and the whole city,

The fruits of everyone's meritorious deeds are exhausted today and the tide of fortune against us, assuming a sullen aspect, 

Thus wailing in many ways Mother Kaushalya clung to Sri Rama's feet accounting herself the most unlucky woman, her heart filled with terrible deep agony, Sri Rama lifted her and pressed to his bosom, and then comforted her with soothing words,

May Lord bless all, 

Thanks, please 

I go to the forest

 Jai Sri Ram,

In any case, if it is your father's command alone, then go not, remembering that a mother ranks higher than one's father if, on the other hand, both father and mother have asked to proceed to the wood then, of course, the forest will equal a hundred cities like Ayodhya, with the sylvan gods for your father, the sylvan goddesses for your mother and birds and beasts to wait upon your lotus feet,

At all events, it is but proper for a king to dwell in a forest in the evening of his life, it is your tender age that fills my heart with agony, 

How blessed is the forest and how luckless is Ayodhya, that will be deserted by you, O Rama, if I ask you, my boy, to take me with you, your mind will be filled with doubts, 

You are supremely dear to all, my child, you are the life of our life, and the vitality of our soul, as such you say, I go to the forest, while I remain rooted to my seat even on hearing these words and repent,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

terrible ordeal to Bharata

 Jai Sri Ram, 

Let me know the reason, who is it that served as fire to consume the solar race, reading in Rama's eyes his tacit consent Sumantra's son explained the reason, and the mother was struck dumb as it were to hear the episode, the state of her mind was beyond description,

She could neither detail her son nor yet say Go, she felt terrible agony in her heart in either event, it seemed as though one was going to write moon and wrote Rahu, the ways of the creator is always adverse to all, she said to herself,

She found herself in the dilemma like a snake that has caught hold of a muskrat, if I press my son, detain him, the moral code will be violated and bad brother created between brothers, and if I allow him to proceed to the woods, it will be a grievous loss, 

The queen thus found herself in an embarrassing situation and was overwhelmed with grief, you have done well my child, I swear, a father's command is the most sacred of all oblations, having promised to bestow on you the kingdom, has decided to exile you to woods does not make me least sorry, but your absence from our midst will mean a terrible ordeal to Bharata, the king himself and to the people,

May Lord Bless all,

thanks, please 

Sri Ekadasi today

Mother revere your Lotus feet

 

for what offense has he asked you

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Rama with joined palms cheerfully bowed his head at his mother's feet, she blessed him and clasped him to her bosom, a mother with tears of affection in her eyes thrilled with joy, seated him in her lap, pressed him once more to her breast, asked,

Tell me, dear child, I beseech you, when will be that delightful auspicious hour, Said the Rama, Father has bestowed on me the kingdom of the forest, where there will be great opportunities for me in every way, grant me leave with a cheerful heart, so that my journey to the forest may be attended with joy and blessing,

Be not obsessed with erroneous tears due to affection, dear mother, by your goodwill I shall be ever happy, spending four years and ten in the forest, and having obeyed my father's command I will come back and behold your feet again, be not said at heart, 

The words of Rama pierced the heart of Mother, the agony of her heart was beyond description, Mother spoke in faltering accents, my boy, you are dear to me as life as your father, the king has got an auspicious day fixed for installing you as prince regent, for what offense has he asked you to proceed to the woods, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, pleasew 

moon rain sparks of fire

 Jai Sri Ram,

When everything was ready, God upset the whole plan, and people abused Kaikeyi in varying forms, a wicked woman set fire to the house with her own hand, 

What is there that fire cannot consume, what is there that cannot be engulfed by the ocean, what is there that a powerful woman, cannot accomplish, what creature is there in this perishable world, that death cannot devour,

Having first ordained one thing the creator has now ordained the reverse of it, sooner shall the moon rain sparks of fire or nectar have the same effect as a poison than Bharat ever dream of doing anything prejudiced to the interest of Rama,

Some blamed the creator, who had offered nectar but given poison, Will Sita forgo the company of Rama or Laxman chose to stay at home, will Bharat enjoy the sovereignty,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

enemy of pathos

 Jai Sri Ram,

Blessed is the birth on the surface of this earth, whose father rejoiced to hear of his doings, he has all the four rewards of life, to whom his parents are dear as life, 

After carrying out your order and having obtained the reward of my life I shall come back soon, therefore be pleased to command me, in the meantime I shall ask leave of Mother Kaushalya and return forthwith, 

Then I shall proceed to the woods after throwing myself once more at your lotus feet, so spoke Sri Rama and then departed, the king was overpowered by the grief beyond words and the most unwelcomed news spread like wildfire, 

People were distressed, whosoever heard it beat his head wherever he happened to be, grief was too great to be borne, mouths were parched, eyes streamed and their hearing could not contain their sorrow, as if the enemy of pathos pitched camp at Ayodhya,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please  

deliberate words

 Jai Sri Ram,

Let worldwide disrepute be my lot and let my good name parish, I would be damned to perdition and forgo heaven, subject me to all severe hardship, but let not Rama be screened from my view,

The king then prayed within his heart but did not open his lips, his mind quivered like an aspen leaf, perceiving that his father was overpowered with affection, and apprehending that Mother Kaikeyi might utter something again, 

Rama spoke with due deliberate words, which were not only humble but also suited the place, time, and circumstances, dear father, I make bold to submit something, pray to forgive me, that I am not yet tender age, 

You have suffered for most trilling matter and the pity of it is that nobody apprized me of it before, when I saw I asked Mother Kaikayi, and was consoled to hear what she has told me,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

sense of propriety and filial affection

 Jai Sri Ram,

The King's spell of unconsciousness now left him, he remembered Rama and then changed sides, Sumantra informed him about the arrival of Rama, made a humble submission to him, 

Hearing the arrival of Rama, the king recovered himself, overwhelmed King clasped him to his bosom, overpowered with grief he could not utter a word, and pressed Rama once more to his heart,

Invoking lord Shiva he solicited himself, saying, hear my prayer, O blissful Lord, quickly pleased and indiscreetly as you are, pray to relieve my affliction knowing me to be in distress, 

Dwelling as you do in the heart of all as the promoter of actions, so inspire Rama that he may flout my word and stay at the home casting to the wind all sense of propriety and filial affection, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

confluence with the holy Ganga

 Jai Sri Ram,

Kaikayi unhesitatingly spoke these pungent words, which callousness itself was sorely distressed to hear, having communicated the whole incident to Rama, she sat like the very incarnation of heartlessness, 

Sri Rama smiled within himself and said, listen, mother, that son is blessed, who is devoted to the words of his parents, a son who gratifies his father and mother is rare in this world, in the forest, I shall get more frequent opportunities of meeting hermits,

Bharat is dear to me as my life will get sovereignty, and god is propitious to me, if I refuse to proceed to the woods, should be counted foremost in an assembly of fools, I must have committed some great offense which prevents the king from speaking to me, I adjure you, to tell me the truth,

The queen rejoiced to find Sri Rama inclined toward her proposal, and said with a false show of affection, I swear by yourself and Bharat that no other cause of king's affliction known to me, all the words from his stepmother sounded pleasant to Rama as all kinds of water are hallowed through their confluence with the holy Ganga,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

rid him of severe mental torture

 Jai Sri Ram,

His lips got parched and his whole frame burned, looked helpless bereft of his pristine wealth, and Lord beheld by the side of his father angry Kaikeyi, who stood like a death personified, Rama saw the sorrow for the first time, never heard of it before, 

Yet, recovering himself as the occasion demanded, addressed his mother Kaikeyi, tell me dear mother, the cause of my father's distress, so that an attempt may be made to remove it, 

Said Kaikayi, Listen, Rama, the sole cause is this, the king is very fond of you, he had promised me two boons of my choice and I asked for whatever I Liked, the king, however, was stricken with grief to hear my request, for he cannot shake off the hesitation on your score,

With a love for his son on one side, and his plighted words on the other, the king is placed on the horns of a dilemma, obey his command if you can, and rid him of severe mental torture,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

terror at the sight of a lioness,

 Jai Sri Ram,

King used to wake up during the last watch of the night every day, his behavior is strange today, Sumantra entered the gynaeceum, but it wore such a dismal appearance that he was afraid, The state of the king was more like calamity and sorrow,

King and queen were in their indifferent truth to react, he greeted the king and bowing his head sat down, Kaikeyi was full of evil and void, broke the silence,

The king had no sleep last night, heaven alone knows the reason, he is simply repealing Rama, Rama, till daybreak and refuses to disclose the secret, therefore call on Rama, bring him soon, 

Sumantra headed towards Rama, Rama saw Sumantra coming and received him with honor, he conveyed to Rama the Royal command, and Rama followed and reached there, saw the king's utterly wretched state like an aged elephant who had dropped down in terror at the sight of a lioness,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

they all pierced the king like shafts

 Jai Sri Ram,

Thus arguing with her in numberless ways the king dropped on the floor crying why do you bring ruin to all, Stricken with grief the king repeated the word Rama again and again, 

May the day never dawn nor may anyone go and tell Rama, King recalled within himself, O sun god, you will be pained to see the plight of Ayodhya, 

The king was yet wailing, the day broke and the music of lute, flute and conch was heard at his door, birds extolled him, and minstrels sang his praises and they all pierced the king like shafts as he heard them, 

At the door waited crowd of servants and ministers, who said to one another at the sight of the risen sun, the Lord of Ayodhya has not yet woken up, what special reason can there be,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

you killed a cow for the sake of gut

 Jai Sri Ram,

When the King saw the malady unconsolable he dropped on the ground beating his head and sobbing out in most piteous tones, Rama, O Rama, O Lord Raghus, the king was stricken with grief and his limbs began to droop, 

Kaikeyi plied him once more with pungent and harsh words, injecting poison as it were into his wound, Either go back upon your words, pray do not like a woman,

On hearing these poignant words the king exclaimed, say what you will, you are not to blame for it, it is my doom which has possessed you like a devil and is using you as it mouthpiece,

Bharata would never covet sovereignly even unwittingly, by decree of fate, however, evil council has taken possession of your mind, I beseech you with joined palms, pray speak not a word to me again, you will repent in the end, O hapless woman, that you killed a cow for the sake of gut,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

death to me and ill repute to you

 Jai Sri Ram,

No more of jesting or anger, make a reasonable and thoughtful request, so that I may now regale my eyes on the sight of Bharata's installation on the throne, I tell you sincerely that I cannot live without Rama, 

Be assured of your mind and be wise, my existence depends on the sight of Sri Rama, hearing these words queen blazed up like the fire, said, you might as well as trillions of devices, but my stratagem shall not avail with me, 

Either grant my request or earn a bad reputation, am not fond of wiles, i have known all of you, I will repay with a vengeance the benefit she has sought to confer upon me,

If Rama does not retire to the woods assuming the garb of a hermit as soon as the day break, death to me and ill repute to you will be inevitable, bear this in mind, O king,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Sri Ekadasi today

 Jai Sri Ram, 

Man made things last for a specific period in this transitory perishable world,

But Sri Ekadasi is a truth that ever new to men on the planet being in continuous vicinity of eternity in truth with celestial cult, though lunar days helps men to reach on the viscosity of this cult but most effective and relevant chapter for embodied Atman,

Sri Ekadasi is above the horizon of esoteric and exoteric involvement  which deals with the liberty of Atman and it needs meaningful observance to approach this unique opportunity of the fortnight,

It could prove to be a best catalyst for communion between creator and creation in truth with adoration of prescribed discipline,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

solemnly bestows the kingdom on Bharata

 Jai Sri Ram,

Kaal in the Garb of queen really wants to take my life, then steeling the heart, he politely spoke to her, why you should utter such unbecoming words, cast off all confidence and affection, 

I will dispatch a messenger at day break to recall Bharata and Shatrughan, then fixed an auspicious date and making all preparations I will solemnly bestows the kingdom on Bharata,

Rama has no greed of sovereignly and is deeply attached to Bharata, I sincerely tell you, swearing by Rama a hundred times that his mother never said a word to me in connection, 

Only one thing has cause pain to me, second boon that you have asked, tell me the fault of Rama, how could he whose temperament was congenial even to an enemy act contrary to his will of his own mother,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
