Sri Shivratri today

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Shivratri today, is a day to enjoin the metaphysics of the mystic Shiv cult, embodied with the comprehensive truth of spirituality,

Enjoining the day in truth with the discipline of the day through respective oblations may help devotees to reach the state above the horizon of mundane reality,

Developing a social personality is one of the aspects of being men that other species possess too but developing an ethical personality earnestly in truth with self in the light of spirituality is entirely different that man leading spirit from forefront to the truth of eternity within self as well as truth of reality hereafter that fairly comfortable zone, 

Sri Shivratri is the day designed in spirit for the embodied soul to revamp self in truth with real self that, to reach the cause eternal,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

Crying, Rama, Rama, and again Rama, and yet again Rama, Rama, Rama, the king cast off his body in his agony of separation from the Rama and ascended in the abode of gods,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

A Curse

 Jai Sri Ram, 

Clasping my preceptor's feet, give the message, pray, that the Lord of Ayodhya may no longer grieve on my account, 

Sending her greetings Sita wanted to say something but her emotions never allow her to do so, At that moment Rama asked the boatman to propel the boat toward the other side, 

Rama departed, while I stood looking with a heavy heart, all queens wailed and wept to hear it, Ayodhya was in great tumult at the sound of the outcry in the royal gynaeceum, 

The life breath of the king now struck at the throat, felt uneasy, senses were blighted, Kaushalya realized the king withered and blasted that sun of the solar race about to set, trying to pacify the king in many ways, the king opened his eyes on words of the beloved queen, recovered and relate the truth of a curse he lived with and dying for, given by the blind parents of Shravana Kumar, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

convey my obeisance to Father

 Jai Sri Ram,

Proclaiming my intention to install him as regent I exiled him to the forest, neither delighted his soul nor grieved it, but my life did not depart even though, am such a great sinner,

Take me to the place where Rama is, if not, sincerely tell you my life is going to depart, King, again and again, asking the minister about the whereabouts of Rama, 

Sumantra relates that his first resort was at Tamsa, next at Ganga, bathed in Ganga goes without food that day, reach Smgaverapura, daybreak to coiled hair with Banyan milk, Guha helped to cross the river, 

Rama said, convey my obeisance to Father, clasp his lotus feet on my behalf, submit to him that, be not worried on my account, your grace and goodwill will a reward of your truth in maritorious acts of my journey in woods, dear father I shall have all sort of comforts in journey having obeyed your command, please do console all mothers on my behalf, fall at their feet with profuse entreaties,

eyelids protect the eyeballs

 Jai Sri Ram,

When Rama realized the hidden agony of his consort and Laxman in truth with the journey of woods, soother of his devotee's heart, began to narrate some sacred legends to make them relieved,

Rama watched over Sita and Laxman as eyelids protect the eyeballs, 

The delightful journey of Rama to the woods is continued there, here in Ayodhya Sumantra returned to the capital after consoling Nishada in many forms, 

Laminated Sumantra appeared before the king, greeted and prayed with all honor, and submit that he failed to bring back Rama, and narrates events on merits and his helplessness to bring the trio back, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

eyes filled with tears

 Jai Sri Ram, 

Fixing the thoughts on Rama, his devotees spurn the pleasure of sense as worth no more than a piece of straw, 

It is no wonder, then, in the case of Sita, Sri Rama's beloved consort and the mother of the universe, 

Rama would do and say only that please Sita, and Laxman, relate numerous stories on both worlds, 

When Rama thought of Ayodhya his eyes filled with tears, the gracious lord became sad when recalled his parents, and thought for his family, especially the amiability of Bharata but he recovered himself when realized the time is not propitious, perceived that Sita and Laxman may dismay to see him like this behaves just like him, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Forest and hill

 Jai Sri Ram,

Having beheld Rama who had eyes attained the end of their life and were rid of sorrow, whereas the inanimate objects rejoiced at the tough of the very dust of his feet and become eligible to attain the highest state of bliss, 

Forest and hill that host auspiciousness in the name of Rama become the great giver of holiness, 

The exquisite beauty of the forest where the trio came and settled after the adieu of Ayodhya could not be described by any worldly means, 

In the company of Rama and Sita, Laxman never recalled even for a moment his brother, mother, and father, or even his home,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

The blue jay, cuckoos, parrots, Catakas, Cakravkas, and other birds delighted the ear and ravished the soul with their varied notes, elephants, monkeys, boars, and deer all sported together, free from enmity being in the vicinity of Rama,

Heavenly rivers manifest there in other garbs to oblige self in the proximity of Rama, eastern and western hills that makes it appear as sunrise and sunset glorify themselves in the truth of Sri Rama, 

All abodes of gods and mountains like Himalaya, sand praise of Citrakuta, glad was the deity presiding over Vidhyanchal,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Love alone attracts Sri Rama

 Jai Sri Ram,

Love alone attracts Sri Rama, let those who are curious take note of it,

Rama then gratified all the foresters by addressing them with gentle words sweetened by love,

Even since Rama came there in the forest became a fountain of blessings, in proximity to Rama trees behave as if from heaven acting as celestial grooves making strings of bees exceedingly sweet humming sounds and breeze breathed soft, cool, and fragrant,

May lord bless all,

 Jai Sri Ram,

Adoring the beautiful cottage with Laxman and Sita, Rama looked as charming as the god of love accompanied by his consort, and the deity presiding over spring known as the king of seasons all attired as a hermit,

A lot of rivulet bends around this bank like a bow, with the river itself as a string, controlling the mind and senses and charity for its arrow, and all the sins of the Kali age for its many quarries, 

Armed with a bow mount Chitrakoot looks like an immovable huntsman who takes uttering aim and makes a frontal attack, with this Laxman shows the spot and Rama is delighted to see the site, 

When the gods learn that the site had captivated Sri Rama's mind, they proceed to Chitrakoot with Visvakarma, the chief of the heavenly architect, they all come in the guise of Kolas and Bhilas and put up beautiful dwellings of leaves and grass, made huts lovely beyond words, fine cottages one larger than the others,

Sri Ekadasi today

 Jai Sri Ram,

Eternal science generally helps men to understand the relative cause and effect in context with the truth one belongs to,

Relation between the two is perennial yet effects could be visible in the majority of cases, but the cause,

Cause ever remains hidden in depth under the veils of Maya, yet providence has provided many defined chapters in truth with celestial cult to reach,

Philosophy of the day known in the name of Sri Ekadasi which endows us with wisdom that inspires spirit to reach the goal with the least effort, we all belong to the eternity of truth, established in the individuality of self, need harmony in cult with celestial reality, Sri Ekadasi could be a milestone to make it,

 Listen, Rama, I tell you now the places where you should abide with Sita and Laxman, the heart of those whose ears are, like the ocean, constantly replenished with a number of lovely streams in the shape of your stories but know no surfeit, shall be your charming abode,

Nay, you should swell in the heart of him whose swan-like tongue picks up peals in the shape of your virtues in the holy Mansarovar of your fame, 

Abide O Rama, in the mind of those whose nose devotedly inhales every day the fragrance of sacred and lovely offerings made to their lord that you, who eat only that which has been offered to you, and put clothes and ornaments first dedicated to you, whose head bow down most lovingly at the sight of god, preceptor and Brahman, whose hands adore your lotus feet, and cherish in their heart with faith on you, and none else, visit holy places sacred to you, even engaged in muttering your name, and relative sacred formulas, offer water to manes, pour oblations to scared fire, feed brahmans generously, wait upon you with due honor and entire devotion,

Getting down from the boat, Sita and Rama stood on the sands of the Ganga along with Guha and Laxman, the ferryman too got down, and fell prostrate before the Lord, who felt uncomfortable at the thought that he had given nothing to the ferryman, 

Sita, however, who could read the mind of her beloved lord, took off her jeweled ring with a cheerful heart, the gracious lord said, take your toll, but the ferryman clasped his feet in great distress, what have I not already received, my lord, the fire of my errors, sorrow, and indigence has been quenched today, 

I worked for my livelihood for a long time, and it is only today that God has given me an adequate and handsome return, by your grace, my compassionate lord, I want nothing now, whatever you bestow on me I shall thankfully accept that Boon,

The Lord as well as Laxman and Sita did their utmost, but the ferryman would accept nothing, the all-merciful Rama, therefore, dismissed him after bestowing on him the boon of unalloyed devotion, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

we are getting late

 Jai Sri Ram,

On hearing these words of the ferryman, mysterious thoughts imbued with love, the all-merciful lord looked at Sita and Laxman and smiled,

The all-compassionate Lord smilingly said fo that what may prevent the loss of your boat, bring, bring water at once and lave my feet, we are getting late, take us across, the same gracious lord, by uttering whose name only once men cross the boundless ocean of mundane existence, and for three strides the universe proved too small, thus importuned an ordinary boatman, though bewildered by the lord's words. Sri Ganga rejoiced on beholding the neils of his toss,

On receiving Sri Rama's command, the ferryman brought a wood basin full of water, in great joy and with a heart overflowing with love he proceed to bathe the lord's lotus feet, raining on him all the gods envied and said there was none so meritorious as he,

Having Laved the Lord's feet and drunk of the water in which they had been immersed along with the other members of his family, he thereby transported the souls of his deceased forbears across the ocean of the metempsychosis and the gladly took the lord Across the Ganga, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Rama's command could not be violated

 Jai Sri Ram,

Rama's command could not be violated, cruel was the turn, He drove the chariot, and the horses turned their eyes towards Rama, overcome with grief at this sight Nishad's men beat their heads and lamented, 

Sri Rama dismissed Sumantra against the latter will, himself arrived at the bank of Ganga and called a Boat, but the ferryman would not bring it, said that I know your secret, about the dust from your lotus feet is drug possessing the features of turning things into the human, by its very touch rock was transformed into a woman, wood is not harder than stone,

If my boat gets converted into a hermits wife like Ahilya, I shall be robbed of the very mean of sustenance  in that my boat disappear, is the only mean I have to maintain my family, I know no other trade, if therefore, my lord, you must cross the river, command me to lave your lotus feet,

I will let you Board only when I bathed your lotus feet, I seek no toll from you, I swear by you, Let Laxman shoot arrows if he will but until I have washed your feet I will not, O gracious lord, ferry you cross, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please

Sumantra appears on the scene and relates the truth of his visit to Rama with the message of the King, Rama admonished him in ways more than one, said Rama-what legends of our race achieve through hard truth of penance, that attain to me by an easy road, 

Clasping the feet of my father and conveying my repeated obeisances to him pray to him with joined palms, be not troubled on my account, dear Father, Laxman made some poignant remarks, rama restrict him and request minister not to communicate that in any case, When Sumantra relates the truth as directed by the king, Sita refused indirectly, said Sita falling at the feet of my father-in-law and mother-in-law request them on my behalf not to grieve for me, for I feel naturally happy in the woods, 

May Lord bless all,

this night

 Jai Sri Ram,

Reasoning thus be not angry nor blame anyone in vein, everyone is slumbering in the night of delusion, and while asleep one sees dreams of various kinds, in this night of mundane existence it is Yogis that mystic alone who keep awake,

It is only right understanding comes that the error of delusion disappears and then alone one develops a love for the lotus feet of Rama, O, friend spiritual goal is this, to be devoted to the truth of Rama and the way is his lotus feet,,

Rama is no other than supreme reality, unknown, imperceptible, beginningless, incomparable, free from all changes, and beyond all diversity, the Vedas ever speak of Him in negate that Not that not this, and He is,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please

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

When Guha that Nishada get this news, he called together his near and dear and took by way of presents fruits and roots proceeded to meet Rama to meet with infinite joy in his heart, prostrating on the ground in reverence, gazed on him with great affection,

There Rama with Laxman, Sita, and Sumantra reached Srngaaverapura, beholding the celestial stream Ganga, made infinite eternal obeisances varyingly and prostrate to mark self in truth with submission, rejoicing eternally the glory of gracious Ganga, Rama relates a lot of stories to Laxman, Sita, and Sumantra,

Rama proceeded to the woods, first halt at Tamasa

 Jai Sri Ram,

In this way, Rama consoled all and cheerfully bowed his head to the lotus feet of his preceptor, Invoking Ganesha, goddess Gauri, and Shiva Rama proceeded to the woods, King recalled Sumantra and enquired about Rama, and know from him that Rama departed,

King said to himself, Rama has left for woods but my body relucted to depart to that region, recovering himself, said to Sumantra, follow him, and try to recall them, if both brothers denied to turn back, try best to bring back Sita, encourage her to live as per her wish either here on in her father's house,

Otherwise, my death is the sole answer to this calamity, Sumantra immediately reached there and delivered the message of the King, all the three mentally bow their head and proceed to the woods, 

Leaving the children and aged at home the whole city follows Rama and accompanied him on his journey, First Day halt on the Bank of Tamasa River, people were tied much of mind and bodies asleep in a deep state providing safe passage to Rama to the woods though Sumantra accompanied,

departed to the woods leaving everyone in bewilderment

 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,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

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
