Chapter – 3 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala
Kanda – Chaupai – 1 - The benefits of the association of the Sadhu Santh
Mahathma which represents movable Prayaga/King of Theertha
The Sadhaka who has strived to achieve Sidhdhanjjana/the
Kajol of wisdom, with the practice of Bhakti, Gnana, Vairagya, perceives the omnipresent
supreme Bhramam/Oneness-in-all finds the treasure on the hill-top, dense wood,
and all over the Earth, remains free from afflictions, trepidation, and fear of
death. The dust particles from the lotus feet of the preceptor are the Kajol of wisdom,
ambrosia which cures the darkness of ignorance, I have applied that
Sidhdhanjjana on my eyes and got rid of the blindness caused by the illusion,
Mayaroopi Samsara, and began to narrate the glorious legend of Lord Sri Rama,
that released me from the interest in the worldly matters, the chase for the material
matters and bodily pleasure/Prakrithi of fleeting nature and thereby I have got rid of
sufferings and grief of worldly existence. I shall prostrate before the
twice-born/Bhramans who are the Gods on the Earth/Bhudhevatha, who dispel the
ignorance born out of lack of Bhakti/devotion, Gnana/ wisdom, and Vairagya/renunciation.
I shall prostrate before the Sadhu Santh Mahathma who is the abode of mercy,
virtues and compassion, they are free from attachments to worldly matters,
sinless, free from grief and sufferings. The assemblage of these Sadhu Santh
Mahathmas is described as the movable Prayaga/the King of Theerthas, the
purifier of the Earth, the Triveni/confluence of Devanadhi Ganga, Yamuna, and
Saraswathi. The sacred river Yamuna who is the daughter of Lord Surya removes the
sins of the worshiper, and the legend of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva multiplies
the devoutness, and showers an abundance of bliss and auspiciousness. The firm
belief and faith represent the auspicious Banyan tree, and the performance of
righteousness symbolizes the sacred Prayaga. The movable Prayaga/gatherings of
the Santh Mahathma Sadhus are easily accessible, and it removes ignorance,
illusion caused the grief and sufferings of Samsara of the Jeeva who have taken
shelter in them. The association of the Sadhu Santh Mahatmas is beyond description,
it is the King of holy Theertha/Prayag, provides commendable rewards and
nearness to supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra.
