Srimathe: Ramanujayanamaha!

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!!

 

The benefit that ensues from chanting Gayatri mantra can be derived by reading

Sri Ramayanam too. Just pronouncing the letters of the mantra results in purity.

Hence by inserting those letters of Gayatri mantra in twenty four thousand

slokas the Purusha in the ‘surya mandala’ is meditated on. In Sriramayan that

Purusha born in the ‘suryavamsa’ is meditated. Sri Ramayanam is also equal to

Veda. There is power for both ‘Sabda’ and ‘ardha’. By just uttering the ‘sabda’

(reading) the ‘dosha:s’ in the buddhi will be eliminated. A good way of life

will be formed. The Lord that is worshipped by Gayatri mantra is Sri Rama. The

mantra that meditates on Sri Rama is Sri Ramayanam.

 

People chant Gayatri Mantra to diminish their attitude to do wrong things. To

make it available to all people Sage Narada had made him write Ramayana

inserting those twenty four letters in twenty four thousand slokas by keeping

one letter in every thousand slokas.

 

Thus he blessed the mankind. The gain one receives from Gayatri mantra can be

achieved from SriRamayanam. The thought of distinction in us should be

destroyed and the capacity to witness Bhagavan as the a:thma in everything

should be cultivated. For that one should realize the ‘Ka:rana Thathvam’. Once

it is known then the differences in ‘Ka:ryams’ that evolve from this Karana

thathvam would not give rise to love or hatred. Though there is difference in

shape and name, the knowledge of the presence of single karanathathvam in every

thing would provide the vision and realization of ‘ekathva’in diverse things.

This is produced by Gayathri mantra. This results from reading Ramayana. Thus

to gift the world the king of mantra with authority Sage Narada instructed

Ramayana briefly to Bhagavan Valmiki.

Jaisrimannarayana!
