=============================================

 

                       Why Nama Sankirtan Apt path in this yuga? 

 

Once Rama was strolling around in His garden. The melodious singing of the two

children reaches His ears. Rama at once enquires of Lakshmana, " Lakshmana, where

does such melodious music come from? Who is singing so captivatingly? " Lakshmana

informs Rama, " Brother! Two children have come to our Kingdom. They resemble you

very much and are going about the Kingdom singing the story of our family. You

should definitely listen to them. " Rama replies, " It would not be proper for me

to invite them to the court and ask them to sing my life. Let them come to

Naimeesaranya where a Yajna is to be held and sing there. " Rama is anxious to

hear the two children not for the reason of listening to his life being

depicted; instead to listen to how Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatruguna, Piratti

(Sita) had all sacrificed their lives for His sake.

 

Rama invites the two children to Naimeesaranya and requests them to sing

Ramayana. " Tapaswadhyayaniratam……. " - the children begin to sing. Totally

engrossed in their singing, Rama slowly moves up to the children and with tears

flowing from His eyes listens to the rendering of the 'Divya Charitra' (the

divine life history). The glory of Ramayana lies in the fact that the very first

rendering of Ramayana on stage ('arangetram') was heard by Lord Rama Himself! At

close the children sing, " All the people of Ayodhya are content and comfortable.

Rama is their protector. This is the reason for their well-being. Henceforth,

anyone who reads or listens to Ramayana will enjoy all comforts. " " Vishnorbalam

vardhate " -- Even Vishnu receives His strength from this. But Rama's family is

suffering till date. Sita and Rama have been separated. The children are

wandering about like orphans. The children explain that Rama was undergoing

sufferings as He had no

protector But since Ramayana has now come as His protector the sufferings of

Rama's family has at last come to an end!

 

So what has given Ramayana to the World? 'Gana' - music! Attracted by music Rama

desired to listen to it. Therefore, music attracts Bhagavan.
