Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thank you, however, I found in Ramakatharasavahini: Baba says Rama performed horse sacrifice, and there was apparently real horse involved (which escaped and was then stollen by Kusha and Lava).. Surely, if Rama did yajna, last was not about common killing of animal for sake of some businessmen or some bhutas (evil entities, that live in subtle world). Just want know details. May be Rama's horse was de-materialized in a process (dissolved in ananda), or, may be, it was merely freed at the culmination of ceremony.. Whatever happened with the horse, surely it was something good and in no way cruel. Wish we find details on that.. Sai Ram! (please, write me directly, cause it's difficult to find all messages.. Here is wonderful forum, but are so many messages, that I hardly find those which are more important for me). Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Dear Mr. Alex , If people have not advanced in SADHANA, spiritual practices, there are chances for their misunderstandings about the real purpose behind such actions by great spiritual personages .Hence refrain from talking & writing about it to avoid harm thereby .Jaisairam.S.Ramachandran, Mumbai On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 3:55 PM, Alex <new_jalsomino wrote: Sai Ram, dear Mr Venugopala RaoNow I've red your wonderful answer, and also Madam Subbalaksmi's answer.
