Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 ll HARE RAM llDear friends,When Lord Ram forwarded to battle-field for the final battle with Ravana who was mounted on the chariot well equipped with arms and guards, Vibhisana became discontcerted to see Lord Ram's position because he was without any such equipments.So he spoke to Lord Ram bowing his feet with tender heart"My Lord,you have no chariot nor any protection either for your body (in the shape of armour) or for your feet (in the shape of shoes).How,then,can you expect to conquer this mighty hero? "Listen friend:" replied Lord Ram---"SUNEHU SAKHA KAH KRIPA-NIDHAANA,JEHIN JAI HOI SO SAYANDAN AANAA.SAURAJ DHEERAJ TEHI RATH CHAAKA,SATYA SEEL DRADH DHAWAJAA PATAAKA.BAL VIVEK DAM PARHIT GHORE,CHAMAA KRIPA SAMTA RAJU JORE.ES BHAJANU SAARATHI SUJAANA,BIRATI CHARM SANTOSH KRAPAANA.DAAN PARASU BUDHI SAKTI PRACHANDAA,BAR BIGYAAN KATHIN KODANDAA.AMAL ACHAL MANA TRON SAMANAA,SAM JAM NIYAM SILIMUKH NANA.KAVACH ABHEDA VIPRA GURU POOJA,EHI SAM VIJAI UPAAYA NA DOOJA.SAKHA DHARAM-MAI AS RATH JAAKE,JEETAN KAH NA KATEHU RIPU TAAKE. "MAHA AJAY SANSAAR RIPU JITI SAKAI SO BIR, JAAKE AS RATH HOI DRADH SUNEHU SAKHA MATI DHEER."[Ramcharitmanas,Lanka-Kand,Chaupaaie No- 2 to 6,Doha-80K][ The chariot which leads one to victory is quite another.Valour and fortitude are the wheels of that chariot,while truthfulness and good conduct are its enduring banner and standard.Even so Strength,Discretion,Self-control and Benevolence are its four horses,that have been joined to the chariot with the cords of Forgiveness,Compassion and Evenness of mind.Adoration of God is the expert driver;dispassion,the shield and contentment,the sword.Again,Charity is the axe;reason,the fierce lance and the highest wisdom,the relentless bow.A pure and steady mind is like a quiver;while quietude and various forms of abstinence (Yamas) and religious observances (Niyamas) are a sheaf of arrows.Homage to the Brahmanas and to one's own preceptor is an impenetrable coat of mail;there is no other equipment for victory as efficacious as this.My friend,he who owns such a chariot of piety shall have no enemy to conquer anywhere."Listen,O friend of resolute mind;the hero who happens to be in possession of such a strong chariot can conquer even that mighty and invincible foe,attachment to the world." ]Hearing the Lord's words,Vibhisana clasped his lotus-feet in joy. "You have utilized this opportunity to exhort me,O Ram,an embodiment of grace and bliss that you are."RegardsShashie Shekhar Shashi S.Sharma [spiritualist,Astrologer & Gems Advisor] Delhi, Cell-09818310075 polite.astro polite_astro Moody friends.
