Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – Prayers to Lord Shambhu & Goddess Bhavani

 


Chapter – 16 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Prayers to Lord Shambhu & Goddess Bhavani

 

The wise admire the prose and poetries of lucid, describing the nature of the spotless character, that would highly appreciate by even the opponents forgetting their animosity. I do not have the skill or knowledge to compose that kind of poetry, hence I repeatedly pray to those wise, intellectuals, and the Santh, Mahathma who resemble lovely pairs of swans in the lake of Manasarovar, kindly be gracious towards my child-like composition written out of pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra.

 

I shall prostrate before illustrious Maharishi Valmiki who composed Ramayana in which he has given exemplary description about the demon Khara and Dhooshana who represent impurities. I shall prostrate before the four branches of Veda and six auxiliaries of it/ Vedanga, which highly eulogizes the glories of Raghunandan, the delight of the clan of Raghu.  I shall prostrate before Lord Bhrama who is the creator of the Santh, Mahathma, resembles the moon, nectar, and Kamadhenu and the wicked/demons resemble toxic poison/Varuni in the Samsara. I shall prostrate before the deities, twice-born/Bhoodevatha, wise, intellectuals, and the presiding deities in the nine planets. I shall pray with folded hands, kindly bless me to accomplish my fair desires to compose the glorious legend Sri Ramacharitha.

 

I shall prostrate before Goddess Saraswathi who symbolizes excellence in speech, and the sacred river Ganga descended from heaven to purify the souls on the Earth. Goddess Saraswathi gets highly pleased with the recitation of her sacred names and glories thereby remove the illusion and ignorance in the Jeeva, and the river Ganga cleanse the Ahamkara and Mamakara, lust, desires, ego, jealousy, pride, anger in the Jeeva with the holy dip in her water. I shall prostrate before Lord Shambhu and Goddess Bhavani, I shall prostrate my parents and preceptors, I shall prostrate before my friends, devotees of Lord Sri Ramachandra, distressed Jeeva, and people who are engaged in the selfless service to Lord Seetha Rama and his devotees are considered as highest benefactors of Tulsidas.  I shall repeatedly prostrate before Lord Hara and Goddess Girija, for their compassion and kindness upon me to recite the glories of Lord Hari and Hara, although I am helpless Jeeva born in the wickedness of the Kali era, with no skill or intelligence whatsoever, have no politeness or manners. The Lord of Uma/Umapathi has always been promising to me, hence I shall make the composition of Sri Ramacharitha most charming and joyful to the listeners and readers. I shall contemplate upon Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati seeking their constant supervision in my humble initiative to compose the glorious Sri Ramacharitha. I am certain that the perpetual blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi would make the composition spread luster as the moon surrounded by the stars. Whoever read or write or listen to this glorious Sri Ramacharitha with pure love and devotion would get rid of the impurities of mind such as Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, the interest in worldly matters and the impurities of the Kali era, the  interest in Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch, Rasa/taste, Roopa/appearance, and Gandha/smell, thereby get rid of sufferings and grief of Samsara, and achieve the fruitfulness of life.
