Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste all! Happy Shri Ramanavami and Vasanta Navaratri Celebrations to the devotees allover the world! I like to share some beautiful verses from 'Sri Rama Carita Manasa' by the Rasik Saint Sri Tulasidasji. Here is an episode in the Baala Kaanda describing the Divine Meeting of Sri Ramacandra and Sita Devi Who offered prayers to Mother Parvati before Her Swayamvara. "Considering how hard it was to break the unyielding bow of Lord Shiva, She proceeded sobbing silently on Her way with the image of the Swarthy Form on Her heart. When Lord saw Her going, that fountain of Bliss and affection and Grace and virtue, -then with the gentle ink of Supreme Love He traced Her infinite beauty on the tablet of His Soul. Sita Devi then sought Maata Bhavani's temple and adoring Her feet, prayed to Her with clasped hands: 'jaya jaya giri raaja kishoree! jaya mahesh mukha chandra chakoree!! jaya gaja vadana shaDaanana maataa! jagata janani daaminiduti gaataa!! "Glory, all glory to You, O Daughter of the Mountain King! Glory to You, Who gaze on the countenance of the great Lord Shiva as the partridge on the moon! Glory to You, O Mother of the elephant-headed Ganesha and the six- faced Karttikeya. O Mother of the universe with limbs as lustrous as the lightning- flash!! nahi tava aadi anta avasaanaa! amita prabhaavu veda nahi jaanaa!! bhava bhava vibhava paraabhava kaarini! viswa vimohini svabasa vihaarini!! Your beginning and end know no ceasing; Your infinite majesty is a mystery even to Vedas. You are responsible for the birth, continuance and ultimate destruction of the world; You bewitch the whole universe and sport independently of others! patidevataa suteeya mahu maatu prathama tava rekha! mahimaa amita na sakahiM kahi sahasa saaradaa sesha!! Among all good women who adore their husbands as gods, O Mother, You rank foremost! Your measureless majesty is more than thousand Saraswathis and Sheshas could tell!! sevata tohi sulabha phalacaaree, varadaayinee puraari piaaree! devi pooji pada kamala tumhaare, sura nara muni saba hohim sukhaare! The four-fold rewards of life (viz., religious merit, worldly riches, sensuous enjoyment and liberation) are easily attainable through Your service, O Granter of boons, Beloved of Shiva (the Slayer of Tripura)! All who adore Your lotus feet, O Goddess, attain happiness, be they gods, men or Sages. mora manoratha jaanahu neekem, basahu sadaa ura pura saba hee kem, keenhevu pragaTa na kaarana teheem, asa kahi charana gahe vaideheem. ' Full well know My heart's longing, O You Whose dwelling-place is the hearts of all; wherefore I have refrained from declaring aloud." With these words Videha's Daughter, Sita Devi clasped the feet of the Goddess Parvathi. Raama Lakshmana Jaanaki, Jaya bolo Hanuman ki! sri raghuvar komal kamala-nayan ko pahanaavo jaya-maala! ye punya-muhurat svarnima avasar phir nahi aane vaala!! Jaya Sri Radhey!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Jaya Sri Radhey! Happy celebrations of Sri Ramanavami ! This verse from the most popular, melodious bhajan- Sri Achyutashtakam. 5, composed by Bhagavatpada Adi Jagadguru Sri Sankaracarya glorifies Lord Ramacandra : rAkSasa kSobhitaH sItayA zobhito daNDakAraNya bhU puNyatA kAraNaH, lakSmaNen Anvito vAnaraiH sevito 'gastya sampUjito rAghavaH pAtu mAm. My eternal Protector is Ramacandra, the Lord of Raghu Dynasty. He has successfully tormented the evil demoniac forces on the earth. His charm has been rendered more lovely by the warm company of mother Sita Devi. He has become the holy Source of auspiciousness and fame even to the wild forests of Dandaka! He is always accompanied by His beloved brother, Lakshmana. He is self-lessly served by the dedicated souls belonging to the less evolved monkey tribes, and is fondly worshipped by the liberated sages like Agastya! Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama! Jaya Sri Radhey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Jaya Sri Radhey! Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama!! "zrIrAma rAma rAmeti rame rAme manorame sahasra nAma tattulyaM rAma nAma varAnane" Lord Shiva is telling His beautiful Lady, devi Parvati, that He is always enjoying the bliss of chanting the Name - SRI RAMA, which equals to chanting one thousand Names of Lord Vishnu. "yatpAda paGkaja rajaH zrutibhirvimRgyaM yannAbhi paGkaja bhavaH kamalAsanazca, yannAma sAra rasiko bhagavAn purAris tam rAmacandram anizaM hRdi bhAvayAmi" (Adhyatma Ramayana I.5.47) I fondly contemplate upon that Lord Ramacandra constantly in my heart, the dust of Whose lotus-feet is being searched for by the Vedas and though born from His lotus-navel, the lotus-seated son Brahma too is engaged in the same quest, and the ESSENSE of Whose NAME is greatly RELISHED by Lord Shiva, the Connoiseur of Divine Love.
