Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – The glories of Anandhavana/Kashi and the Tharakamanthra

 





Chapter – 45– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The glories of Anandhavana/Kashi and the Tharakamanthra

 

Sage Bharadhwaja speaks “Oh! Mahathma, The Veda, Shastra, and Purana highly eulogizes the splendor of the Preceptor who is none other than Supreme Lord, he is the source of pure wisdom, knowledge of ‘self, following the strict austerities and guidance of one own preceptor the fortunate Jeeva achieves spiritual advancement. The Veda, Shasthra and Puruana equally emphasizes the glories of ‘Sri Ramanama’/Tharakamanthra too. The illustrious Sages and Rishis highly praise the Ramanama as propitious, removes the impurities of the mind, Ahamkara, Mamakara, excessive interest in Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch, Rasa/taste, Roopa/appearance, Gandha/smell, that are the prime cause for the permanent grief and agony. Lord of Lords, Lord Mahadeva, who symbolizes auspiciousness and bliss, constantly recites and contemplate upon Lord Rama in the sacred land of Kashi and recite the Tharakamanthra. Whoever leave mortal coil in Anandhavana/Kashi would achieve liberation from the repeated births, Lord Mahadeva along with Goddess Parvathi, whispers the Tharaka Manthra on the ear of the Jeeva who leaves mortal coil on this land. Oh! Kripanidhi, kindly describe, who is that Rama? Is he Avadhakumara/the crown prince of Ayodhya who is the son of King Dhasharatha and Devi Kausalya? I have heard of a Rama, who is the prince of Ayodhya, lost his wife in the dense wood of Dhandakaranya, conducted rigorous search all over the forest, lamented over her loss, finally battled against the demon king Ravana, the king of Lanka with the help of monkey warriors, and destroyed the entire clan of demon Ravana.”
