Rama Avatar- a Perfect Incarnation – by Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji Part-14

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Lava and Kusha are born to Sita in Sage Valmiki’s

ashram. While sending Sita away to the forest what

does Rama give her? Rama gives his ‘Paduka’ to Sita,

“Keep this Paduka. This Paduka is verily ME! This

Paduka will protect you!” The mother-to-be Sita

performs puja to the Paduka daily. Lava and Kusha are

born to Sita. The twins, Lava and Kusha, ask Sita,

“Mother! Where is our father?” Sita points to the

Paduka and says, “This is your father”. The two

children immediately offer flowers to the Paduka.

Shatrugna who rules the Mathura Kingdom passes

Valimiki ashram. Many who had seen Sita in Valmiki

ashram would report to Rama. Rama, who sat on the

throne would, however, listen to this piece of news as

if with indifference. But later in privacy he would

shed tears. Outwardly he appeared to be hard hearted.

Inwardly, he was filled with Love. Never did he

exhibit his true feelings to the world. Such was his

dignity.

 

Sage Valmiki taught ‘Rama charitra’ (life of Lord

Rama) to Lava and Kusha. The sage taught them to sing

all the 18000 slokas melodiously, in different ragas.

Having learnt it thoroughly the two children went

round the streets of Ayodhya singing the life of Rama.

Bharata, Shatrugna, Lakshmana and everyone else heard

this lovely music of the children. All of them deeply

yearned for Rama to hear this. But none dared to

approach Rama. Ever since he sacrificed Sita, Rama was

in dhyana. Everyday he would sit on the throne, attend

to his daily duties and get back to his room. He

remained in solitude. So, everyone dreaded going near

him.

 

One day, while Rama was taking a stroll in the privacy

of his room gallery this music floats into his ears.

Rama calls out to Bharata, “Bharata! Who is singing so

melodiously?” Bharata who had been awaiting such an

opportunity informs Rama, “ ‘Roopalakshana sampannou

madhuraswara bhashinou bimbadivothitou bimbou

Ramadehat tathaparou’ - Brother! Two children have

come to Ayodhya. They are ‘roopalakshana sampannou

madhuraswara bhashino’ - they sing very melodiously.

They speak very sweetly. And they seem like your

reflection that has stepped out the mirror at your

call! Their eyes bear the compassion of our

Sister-in-law (Sita). They are singing the story of

our family! You must certainly listen to it.” Rama

said, “It is not proper for me to listen to my glory

being sung”.
