Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – The devoutness of Sri Ramacharithra to protect the Jeeva from the grief of Samsara/worldly existence and Samsara Chakra/repeated births

 

Chapter – 11– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The devoutness of Sri Ramacharithra to protect the Jeeva from the grief of Samsara and Samsara Chakra

 

The Sri Ramacharithra composed out of pure love and devotion may lack the qualities of excellent poetry and charm, but it has an abundance of meritorious rewards which the whole world has known about it. I am certain that people of unbiased nature would listen to it. The Ramacharithra describes the various sacred names of Lord Raghu which is the essence of Veda and scriptures. The sacred name ‘Rama’ is Tharakamanthra constantly recited by Lord Mahadeva who is the beloved consort of Goddess Uma, the destroyer of the demons of Tripura.  Sri Ramanama is highly propitious, removes the impurities of mind such as Ahamkara and Mamakara, sufferings, and grief of Samsara, and protects the Jeeva from the repeated cycles of Samsara as well. I believe any poetry or prose that has possessed beauty and excellence in multitude, but no word mentioned about Lord Sri Ramachandra would be the same as an attractive young female adorned in loads of ornaments, but no clothes on her body. The noble-souls are like the honey bees who take great pleasure at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra would relish the Ramacharithra even though it lacks poetic skills, and charm written by an ordinary poet and who have failed to achieve devoutness being in the association of Santh, Mahatmas? These ascetics are like the rich fragrant wood that emits an alluring aroma while burning. Although my composition is unappealing, lacks poetic skills, but it has the fresh alluring rich fragrant aroma of the legend of Lord Sri Ramachandra, that could alleviate the grief and sufferings of worldly existence, provide all kinds of auspiciousness, and protects the Jeeva from hurling from the unfathomable ocean of Samsara.
