Srimad Ramayana Tatva Deepika#81 (Ba:la Ka:nda)

Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha!

Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!!

 

Human life is the greatest. Rama has taken such human birth. He killed

Ravana. So the important thing in the story is ‘mano:vijayam’ (victory

over mind). Sri Rama had proved to the mankind – ‘what they have to

know, and how they have to behave in this world’. So Valmiki had named

it ‘poulasthya vadha’. Ravana had ten faces. The Manas has five

‘jna:nendriyas’ and five ‘karmendriyas’ - ten faces for it to work. They

are the ten gates. Hence manas is ‘daSa mukha’ and humanity is required

to conquer this . Though we are born as the human kind we cannot control

it, Bhagavan Himself came down to teach us, conducted himself as a true

human being, and showed us the right path. To make it known to the

mankind that this story of Ramayan has to be heard by all, Rama himself

listened to it with interest and eagerness by sitting close to Lava and

Kusa in the durbar hall. They were singing.

 

Sri Ramayan is the wonderful kaavya. Sri Rama charitha had actually

happened. Bhagavan had descended as a human being for the sake of Ravana

vadha and illustrated by his behaviour and his associates behaviour the

dharma and jnana as expounded by Vedas. Here SriRama observed ‘sa:ma:nya

dharma’. The dharmas the human beings have to follow to give happiness

to the fellow beings while taking care of their well being,

simultaneously taking well care of their future lives and to be happy in

the higher lokas – are the ‘sa:ma:nya dharmas’. Sri Rama and Sitha

followed samanya dharma.

 

To be continued...

Jai srimannarayana!
