Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – Sri Ramanama is the source of Happiness and welfare in the Kali era

 

Chapter – 28 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Sri Ramanama is the source of Happiness and welfare in the Kali era

 

 The Ramanama resembles Narakesari, the half-lion- half-man incarnation of Lord Vishnu to protect his child devotee Prahladha from the demon Hiranyakashipu/Kanakakashipu, hence, whoever taken shelter in the Ramanama would get protected from the evilness of the Kali era. The glorious Ramanama recited whether in Bhaya/fear or without fear, humorously or sincerely, pleasantly or unpleasantly, undoubtedly it would provide fruitfulness to Jeeva. I shall repeatedly prostrate before the supreme Lord Rama who is the Lord of Raghu's, and recites his glorious name with utmost faith, and I shall begin to describe the endless virtues of the Lord out of pure love and devotion, I am certain that the grace of the Lord would rectify my mistakes, like a mother to her infant. I shall prostrate before the supreme Lord Rama who is the ocean of mercy and virtues, nurtured this Tulsi, he is my Master and I am his sincere servant. The Veda and scriptures highly praise the benevolence of Lord Sri Ramachandra to the devotees who have taken shelter at his lotus feet, he is impartial to all those good or bad, wise or dull, poor or rich, city dweller or villager, scholar, or ignorant. The King of Kosala Lord Sri Ramachandra is the Jana Shiromani, a wise and compassionate ruler, have great respect and admiration to the Sadhu, Santh, Mahathma, pleasant natured, willing to listen to the pleas of the people and suggest appropriate solution to their problems, was most admired and beloved of the people of Ayodhya. Supreme Lord Rama gets highly pleased with the pure love and devotion, I am a dull-minded Jeeva, can’t find anyone wicked than me.
