Ramayana Vaibhavam - Mandodari's message for excellence

[Guest guest]

The Ramayana has been the perennial source of spiritual, cultural, and artistic

inspiration for these thousands of years, not only to the people of India , but

also to the people of South-East Asian countries. It has enriched the national

literature of these countries, and has also provided themes for every form of

their art -- dance, drama, music, painting, and sculpture. Its characters have

helped to mold the Hindu character. Ramayana is the greatest treatise on

personality development and excellence in life. It is also the source for

Bhagavadgita.

 

The character and message of Mandodari, the queen of Ravana has a great message

to mankind for personality development and excellence in life. On lisstening

her, one will be in surprise with a question ' Who killed Ravana?'

 

Mandodari, the crown queen of Ravana, the mother of Indra,came to the

battlefield after the death of her husband. Mandodari lamented

" I know who Rama is. He is the Lord of lords, Narayan, the greatest of yogis,

the Paramatman, the Ancient, the one Truth which has no begining and no end nor

any middle. He is eternal.He is beyond the darkness called Avidya, ignorance.He

is the creater of the Universe. He is the Lord of all the three worlds. Rama is

the incarnation of Lord Narayana Himself and I have no doubt about it. It was

your very senses which have proved to be your undoing and killed you "

 

While lamenting, Mandodari summarised the Vedas, upanishads for personality

development and excellence to the mankind.

I welcome our advaitin new moderator Sri Shyamji by dedicating this.

 

 

I requst you to listen to Mandodari's message.
