Chapter – 23 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Sri Ramanama is the Kalimala Harini – The one and only way to get rid of sufferings of Samsara and Samsarachakra

 

The Ramanama serves the purpose of Manideepa that spread the brilliance all around, and removes the darkness of ignorance in the Jeeva. It purifies the intellect, removes the impurities of lust, desire, ego, jealousy, pride, and anger, Ahamkara and Mamakara. The Yogis and Mahatmas get rid of interest in worldly matters of impermanent nature, Vishayavisha/toxic poison like interest in material matters and attachments, and constantly recite the Ramanama. These Yogis and Mahatmas are Viraktha, grown dispassionate with the practice of austerities, contemplation and meditation, remain in a supreme state of bliss always. They perceive the Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Paramambhramam/Oneness-in-all, which is pure, unblemished, changeless, eternal, free from afflictions, and keep themselves free from grief and sorrows of Samsara. The Sadhaka/seeker of truth, follows the Santh, Mahatmas and sincerely undertake austerities, vows, Celibacy, Shama, Dhama, Sathyam, Dhaya, Dhanam, Shaucham, Astheyam, Ahimsa, Arjjavam, Swadhyaya, Athmavichara, meditation, and contemplation, etc. and achieve the fruitfulness of life. Gradually, they achieve the supernatural powers known an Ashtasidhdhi such as  1) Anima- to reduce the body to the size of an atom, 2 )Garima – expand the size of the body to a colossal size, 3) Laghuthvam – assume infinite lightness of the body, 4) Eshithvam – assume absolute Lordship, 5) Vashithvam – overpowering all, 6) Prapthi – unrestricted access in the Universe, 7) Prakamya – realization of other’s desire etc. The constant recitation of Ramanama remove the grief and sufferings of Samsara. There are four types of devotees of Lord,  1) Arththa/distressed, desolate, 2) Jijjnasu/curious, seeker of truth 3) Arththarththi/ yearn to achieve wealth, possession, richness, money, fame, family, and 4) Gnani/ enlightened one, knower of truth ‘Jeevathma is Paramathma’, knowledge of self, Prakrithi is destructible and the soul is indestructible Purusha and these four kinds of devotees are equally noble, virtuous, and sinless dear to Lord. The enlightened one chooses to engage in the constant recitation of Tharaka Manthra/Ramanama, takes shelter in the Ramanama, and they are the most beloved of the Lord. The Sri Ramanama Mahima was widely spoken in the Vedas and scriptures that could provide commendable rewards in all four Yugas of Krita Yuga, Thretha Yuga, Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga and especially in the Kali era which is lack of purity of mind, deeds, words. Hence, the Sri Ramanama is the one and only way to get rid of the sufferings and grief of Samsara and Samsara Chakra.
