Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Namaste Sadhakas, On this Holy SriRamanavami day, a message on Vairagyam coming from the unparallelled Ramabhakta, Sri Hanuman, is presented: Hanuman was carrying out his Master's command, engaged in the search for Mother Sita in Lanka. It was much before day-break and Hanuman was inside Ravana's harem, the quarters for the female members of the royalty. He had not seen Sita before, yet he hoped he could identify Her for he believed She is definitely different from the Rakshasa clan. On his search in every part of that vast premises, he beheld many sleeping belles. Now, Hanuman is a Naishthika Brahmachari, on the vow of celibacy for life. It is improper for such celibates to behold women in sleeping posture. He became conscious of this dharma for a Brahmachari and suddenly entertained a doubt if he was not incurring sin by beholding sleeping belles. He quickly got a reply from the deep recesses of his own mind: Mano hi hetuH sarveshaam indriyaanaam pravartane | Shubha-ashubhas-vavasthaasu taccha me suvyavavasthitam || The mind indeed is the cause of the functioning of the senses in righteous and unrighteous states and that mind of mine is well grounded. Jai Hanuman, Jai Sitaram. Pranams to all, subbu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
