Srimad Ramayana Tatthva Deepika - Ba:la Ka:nda (30)

[Guest guest]

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha!

Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!

 

With best wishes on uga:di, praying

Lord SriRamachandra to bless us all to serve

our Acharya in a much better way...

Sri Raghunandana parabrahmane: namaha!

 

SriRama has ‘sama:dhi’.

 

Thinking of how to save those who seek his refuge

is called ‘sama:dhi’.

 

SriRama had great determination to protect Sugri:va

and Vibheeshana who had sought his protection.

Bhagavan also rests on His ‘se:sha thalpa’

(serpent bed), as if sleeping, and keeps thinking

how to rescue His devotees. This contemplation can

be said to be His sleep.

 

SriRama has enormous capacity to create which is

equal to that of four headed Brahma who creates

all the ‘lo:ka:s’ . While Lord Srimannarayana

was resting, the four headed Brahma emerged from

His (‘na:bhi kamala’) navel. Ignoring the fact that

he was His son , Narayana took the form of ‘Vishnu’

to take care of the creation of Brahma. He occupies

the position in between Brahma and Maheswara to be

honoured equally with Brahma as ‘Brahma – Vishnu –

Maheswara’.

 

Sri Rama behaved as if he is also one among all

those kings of Suryavamsa. Sri Rama has affluence

and prosperity. (‘sreema:n’). He has tremendous

capacity to administer. He shone brilliantly as

the king of a prosperous kingdom with unmatchable

valour. ( ‘ra:jya lakshmi’ and ‘veera lakshmi’ ).

Sri Rama is 'sreema:n'.

 

Bhagavan is ‘sreema:n’. He is always with Lakshmidevi,

who can never be separated from Him. She is also

known as ‘Sri’. She is always with Parama:thma

and inseparable from Him like the sunlight from

the Sun or the radiance from a precious ‘mani’.

Hence He is called ‘Sreema:n’.She approaches Him

to seek the protection of the ‘jeeva:s’ (souls).

She pleads to Him on their behalf. She listens to

their requests and removes their negative aspects

and portrays them as having good qualities. The

one who is always associated with such tattva

called 'Sri' is the cause of the entire creation

( 'jagath ka:rana' ). He is Lord Srimannarayana.

 

 

To be continued......

Jai Srimannarayana!

 

Ramanujamma Mudumbai,

Ramanujadasi.
