Sri:mathe: Ra:ma:nuja:ya namaha!

Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale: Saranam!!

In Chitrakoota Bharatha had the darshan of Maha:thma

SriRama. Bharatha had a strong intention to follow

dharma. With this inspiration he approached SriRama’s

‘sannidhi’ and begged ‘pleasant hearted, sathya

para:krama’ Sri Ramachandra to accept the kingdom

back. Sri Ramachandra is ‘Sathya para:krama’- His

‘parakramam’ is ‘sathyam’- his courage stays with him

forever. Bharatha told SriRama of his desire and tried

to persuade him thus:

“Rama! You are the king. You are quite aware of this

dharma and so please accept the kingdom.” “Rama! You

are the dharmajna! You are the eldest born and I am

younger to you. Don’t you know the dharma that when

the elder brother is there, it is unfair for the younger

one to accept the throne? Inwardly you are the

Parama:thma, I am the Ji:vathma. You are the ruler, I

am the ruled. You are the ‘Swa:mi’, I am your property.

You know the dharma. Accordingly, it is inappropriate

for me to become independent."

SriRama listened to his prayer. SriRama invigorates all

with his ‘swaru:pam’, ‘ru:pam’ and ‘guna:s’. So He had

to enliven Bharatha’s ‘manas’. Sri Rama’s compassion has

no bounds. He grants whatever is asked of him. His

‘swabha:vam’ is to grant not only his positions but he

readily offers Himself if one wishes. He would definitely

fulfil Bharatha’s desire of taking back the kingdom. He

is ‘Sumukha’. He always looks forward worriedly whether

anyone would approach Him to get their wishes fulfilled.

Once someone approaches Him wishing for something, His

face lights up. He is also ‘Sumaha:yasa’

To be continued....

Jai Srimannarayana!

Ramanujamma Mudumbai,

Ramanujadasi.
