Jai Sri Ram,
He began to narrate the delightful stories of Sri Hari,
Meanwhile Daksha had come to be the lord of created beings,
On careful consideration the creator found Daksha qualified in everyway,
And appointed him as supreme lord of created beings,
May Lord bless all
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Shiva started repeating the name of Rama,
Then Sati came to know that the lord of the universe had come to the waking stale,
She went and bowed at the lotus feet of Shambhu,
Shankara gave her a seat opposite to himself,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
The daughter of Daksha, Sati,
Thus felt very miserable,
Her deep agony was terrible beyond words,
When eighty seven thousand years elapsed, the Immortal Shambhu emerged from His Trance,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
If i have any devotion to the feet of Shiva,
And i am true to my vow in thought, word and deed,
Then, O all pervading Lord, listen to me and speedily devise some plan,
Whereby i may die and be thus rid of this unbearable calamity without much exertion,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ganesha,
The anguish of her heart was beyond words,
The sane lady invoked the presence of sri Rama in her heart, and address him thus,
If they refer to you as compassionate to the poor and if the Vedas have glorified you as the dispeller of sorrow,
I beseech with joined palms, That i may be speedily rid of this body of mine,
May Lord bless all
thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Providence has repaid me for my sins,
And has done only that which i deserved,
Now, O, God, it does not behoove you,
That you should make me survive even after alienating me from Sankara,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please,
Jai Sri Ram,
The grief that preyed on Sati's mind was ever new,
For she did not know when she would be able to cross the ocean of sorrow,
I slighted the lord of Raghus,
And again took my husband's words to untrue, providence has repaid me for my sins,
May lord bless all,
thanks please
Jai Sri Ganesha,
Then sati dwelt in Kailash,
Her mind grievously sorrowing,
Nobody knew anything about what was going on in her mind,
But the days hung heavy on her like so many yugas or ages,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Then recalling His vow,
Shambhu, Sat down there under a banyan tree in a Yogic Posture,
That known as Padmasana-the pose of a lotus,
Sankara commuted with his own self and passed into an unbroken and indefinitely long Samadhi that trance,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ganesha,
Perceiving the sad look of Sati,
Shiva narrated beautiful stories in order to divert her mind,
Relating various legends while on his way,
The lord of the universe, Reached Kailash,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ganesha,
From the attitude of Sankara,
However, she judged that the Lord had abandoned her,
And felt disturbed in her heart,
Conscious of her guilt she could not utter a word of protest, but all the while her heart smoundered like a furnace,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
Sati felt perturbed in her heart at the thought of what she had done,
And the extend of her anxiety could neither be gauged nor described,
She realized that Lord Shiva is a supremely unfathomable ocean of mercy,
Hence he did not openly declare her fault,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Even water when mixed with milk, sell as milk,
Look at the unifying process of love,
The water, however, is separated from the milk,
And the taste also disappears the moment a drop of acid is introduced into it in the farm of falsehood,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
You are embodiment of truth and compassionate to the poor,
Even though Sati Enquired in Many ways,
The slayer of the demon Tripura Sankara spoke not a word,
Sati Concluded that the omnipresent lord had come to know everything and felt sorry that she had tried to deceive Sambhu,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati felt troubled at heart,
When she heard the heavenly voice,
She addressed Shiva in faltering voice,
Tell me, O Merciful Lord! what vow you have taken,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sacred Magh has started today and will last till its Purnima on 27th Feb,
This month is one among the four legendary chapters that Baisakh, Saawan and Kartik,
Worship of Lord Vishnu is taken as prime chapter to sanctify self with truth of religious practices including snana Daan,
Sacred Magh is a month of eternal light with truth of divine wisdom that for the cause of life on the planet, and men may make most through respective discipline,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Glory to the great lord Shiva,
Who has so staunchly upheld the cause of devotion,
Who else than you can take such a vow,
You are a devotee of sri Rama and all powerful Lord at the same time,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
And as soon as he invoked sri Rama the idea came to his mind that he should have no connection with Sati as long as she continued to remain in that body,
Shiva resolved accordingly and having resolved the stable minded Lord Sankara proceeded towards his home with his mind fixed on the Hero of Raghu's race,
Even as he stepped forward a charming voice from heaven thundered forth,
Glory to the great lord Shiva,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
The great lord Shiva uttered not a word aloud,
Though there was great agony in his heart,
Then Sankara bowed his head at the feet of the Lord,
And as soon as he invoked sri Rama the idea came to his mind that he should have no connection with Sati,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
If I continue to love Sati as heretofore,
The cult of devotion will disappear,
And it will be indecorous on my part to do so,
Sati is too chaste to be abandoned and it is a great sin to love her any more as a wife,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Ideal of Sri Ekadasi is to make the mind fair with truth of self,
Philosophy of the event is to reveal mystic truth within self for eternal cause,
Sages and seers of the ages with light of wisdom have cherished in their own truth with inherent joy through respective discipline on the day,
Indeed a day to make it easy for self to track the tough terrain of journey through mild application unto truth of discipline of the day,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Again, he bowed his head to the delusive power of sri Rama,
That has prompted Sati to tell a lie.
What has preordained by the will of sri Hari must have its way,
All the wise Sambhu thought within himself, Sati had assumed the disguise of Sita, this made Shiva much disconsolate at heart,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
What you said cannot be untrue,
I am fully convinced in my heart,
Lord Shankara then looked within by contemplation,
And come to know all that Sati Had done,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
Having realized the greatness of the hero of Raghu's race,
Sati in her awe concealed the truth from Shiva,
I made no test my Lord,
I made obeisance just like you,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
Repeatedly bowing her head at the feet of Sri Rama,
She proceeded to the spot where the lord Shiva was,
When she came near, Lord Shiva smilingly inquired if all was well with her and then Said,
Tell me now the whole truth, how did you test sri Rama,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Her heart quivered and she lost all consciousness of her body,
Closing her eyes she sat down on the wayside,
When she opened her eyes and gazed once more,
The daughter of Daksha saw nothing there,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
But while the gods who adored the Lord appeared in diverse garbs,
The appearance of sri Rama was the same in every case,
Although she saw Rama, the same Laxmana and the Sita,
Sati was struck with great awe,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
She further perceived innumerable Satis, consort of Lord Shiva,
Consort of Brahma and consort of Vishnu that Laxmi, all peerless in beauty,
They conformed in their appearance to the garb in which Brahma and other gods appeared,
Each separate vision of Rama was attended by a whole host of gods with their feminine counterparts, as well as the whole animate and inanimate creation with its multitudinous species,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati Saw more than one sets of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu,
Each set possessing a glory infinitely greater than that of the others,
She also beheld a whole host of gods at the lord's feet,
And waiting upon him in their different Garbs,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
As she went on her way Sati beheld a strange phenomenon,
Sri Rama was going ahead of her along with his consort Sita and younger brother Laxman,
She looked back and there too she saw the lord with his brother and Sita in an attractive garb,
Whichever way she turned her eyes, there was lord enthroned with the Siddhas that adepts and illuminated sages ministering to him,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
What reply shall i give to my lord now,
The agony of her heart was most terrible,
Sri Rama perceived that Sati had vexed,
He, therefore, revealed to her a part of His Glory,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Makar Sankranti today to enjoin the divine celebration of a celestial event,
An auspicious occasion to cultivate staunchness of feeling to realign with to truth and the cause,
Adoration of the may impart steadfastness unto truth of the cause on being planet,
So strong is the truth of celestial culture that for the cause of spirit on the planet, man may take advantage through respective oblations in spirit with,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati felt very uncomfortable,
When she heard these soft yet significant words of Rama,
She turned towards the great Lord Shiva with a feeling of awe and much dejected at heart,
I heeded not the word of Sankara and imposed my own ignorance on Rama,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Joining the palms of his hands,
He first made obeisance to her mentioning his name along with his father's,
He then asked her the whereabouts of Lord Shiva, who has a bull emblazoned on his standard,
And wondered what made her roam about all alone in the forest,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati sought to practise deception even on him,
See how deep rooted the nature of woman is,
Extolling in his heart the potency of his Maya,
Sri Rama smilingly accosted Her in a mild tone,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
He was tongue tied and looked vert grave,
The sagacious brother was acquainted with the lord's glory,
All perceiving and the inner controller of all,
The lord of gods, sri Rama took no time to detecting the false appearance of Sati, Rama was the same omnipresent Lord whose thought wipes out ignorance,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
After many anxious thought Sati assumed the form of Sita,
And moved ahead on the same route which the ruler of men sri Rama was passing,
When Laxman saw Sati in her disguise,
He was astonished and much puzzled,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
After all, whatever sri Rama has willed must come to pass,
Why should add to the complication by indulging in further speculation,
So Saying, Lord Shiva began to mutter the name of Sri Hari,
While Sati proceeded to the spot where the all blissful Lord Sri Rama was,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
She racked her brains to find out what step she should take,
In order to test the divinity of Rama,
On this side Shiva came to the conclusion that mischief was in store for Sati,
When the doubt did not yield even to my assurances, he said to himself, it seems the stars are unpropitious to her and no good will come out of it,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
I shall be waiting in the shade of this Banyan tree till you come back to me,
Using your critical judgement you should resort resort to some device,
Whereby the stupendous error born of your ignorance may be rectified,
Thus obtaining leave of Shiva, Sati Proceed to her Mission,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Although Lord Shiva repeated this time after time,
His exhortation made no impression on the heart of Sati,
Then the great Lord Shiva smilingly said, realizing in his heart the potency of sri Hari's Maya,
If you have a grave doubt in your mind, why not go and verify the thing,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
He who has bodied himself forth as the jewel of Raghu's race for the sake of devotees is no other than the supreme eternal,
Who is all pervading and ever free, who is ruler of all the worlds and the Lord of Maya,
Whom illumined sages, yogis, and Siddhas constantly meditate upon with their sinless mind and whose glory is sung by the Vedas as well as Puranas and other scriptures in Negative terms,
Not this,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
My beloved deity, whose story was sung by the jar born sage Agastya,
Faith in whom was the subject of the talk,
I gave to him and whom illumined sages ever wait upon,
He who has bodied himself forth as the jewel of Raghu's race for the sake of devotees is no other than the supreme eternal,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Look here, Sati,
The woman is foremost in you,
You should never harbor such a doubt in your heart,
He is no other than Rama, the hero of Raghu's race, my beloved deity, whose story was sung by the jar born sage Agastya,
May Lord bless all,
thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
I revere the lotus feet of my Lord Sri Rama,
Greet the pollen like dust of the lotus feet,
That refulgent, fragrant and flavored with love,
Indeed a lovely powder of life giving herb, which allays the host of all attendant ills of mundane existence,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Everyone knows that he is all wise,
Thus her mind was filled with an interminable series of doubts,
Her heart could not be pacified by any means,
Although Bhavani did not open her lips, Lord Hara, who is inner controller of all, came to know everything,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Even Vishnu who takes a human form for the sake of gods, is omnipresent like Shiva,
Can he wander in search of his consort like an ignorant man,
He who is repository of knowledge, the lord of sri and the slayer of demons,
The words of Sambhu too cannot be false,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram.
On that very auspicious occasion Sambhu saw sri Rama and excessive joy of an extraordinary type welled up in His heart, He feasted His eyes on that ocean of beauty,
But he did not disclose his identity as he knew it was no appropriate occasion for the same, The destroyer of cupid, Shiva passed on exclaiming, Glory to the redeemer of the universe, who is all truth, consciousness and bliss,
As Shiva went on his way with Sati beheld Sambhu in that state, a grave doubt arose in her mind, Sankara is a lord of the universe himself, and deserves universal adoration, gods men and sages all bow their head to him, yet, He made obeisance to this prince, referring to him as the supreme being, who is all truth, conscious and bliss, he was entrapped to behold his beauty and felt an upsurge of emotion in his heart, which He is unable to control even to this moment,
The supreme eternal, which is all pervading, begotten, without parts, free from desire, beyond Maya and beyond all distinction and which not even the Vedas can comprehend----can it assume the shape of a man,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ganesha,
He who knows neither union nor separation showed unmistakable signs of grief born of separation,
Exceedingly mysterious are the ways of Lord of Raghus,
The supremely wise alone can comprehend them,
The dull witted in their height of folly imagine something quite different,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Heaving killed the antelope Sri Hari returned with his brother,
And his eyes were filled with tears when he saw the empty hermitage,
The Lord of Raghus felt distressed at the lose like a mortal man,
And the two brothers roamed about in the woods in search of Her,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord was thus lost in reverie,
Meanwhile the vile Ravana took with him the demon Marica,
Who forthwith assumed the illusory form of a deer,
The fool Ravana carried off Vedeha's daughter Sita by fraud, the lord's real might was not known to him,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Ravana, the demon king of Lanka had sought from Brahma the boon of his death at the hands of a Human foe,
And the lord would have the words of Brahma come true,
If I do not go to meet him,
I shall ever regret it, Shiva pondered, but found no solution to the puzzle,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Mokshda Ekadasi today, a pious chapter to help the devotees varyingly unto subject of life and thereafter, indeed bestower of final beatitude,

May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
In Sankara's heart there was a great tumult,
However, had no inkling of this secret,
His Mind Says Tulsidasa,
Apprehended lest the secret might be disclosed while the temptation of obtaining a sight of the Lord made His Eyes Wistful,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Lord Hara that Shiva kept pondering as he went,
How can i obtain a sight of Him,
The lord has embodied himself forth secretly,
And if I visit him, everyone will know Who He Is,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
