Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – The origin of Sri Ramacharitha

 


Chapter – 30 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The origin of Sri Ramacharitha


Oh! Tulsidas, there is no deity as compassionate and kind as Lord Sri Ramachandra who overlooks the mistakes of his devotees.  While living in the forest Rama taken a seat underneath the tree, the Vanaras and bears occupied their seats on the branches of the tree engaged in monkey acts, there is no deity generous as Lord Rama, he is most promising to all. I shall repeatedly prostrate before the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who have taken no notice of my sins, I shall begin to describe the splendor of that supreme Lord who is the chief of Raghu's, the mere listening to the endless glories of supreme Lord Raghuvara would remove the impurities of the Kali era.

 

I shall describe the glorious Ramacharitha which was narrated by the illustrious Rishi  Yajjavalkya to Sage Bharadhvaja, which would provide immense bliss to the listener and readers as well. It was previously described by the compassionate Lord Shambhu to his beloved consort Goddess Bhavani, later it was retold to Sage Kakabhusundi/Sage disguised as a crow, an ardent devotee of Lord Rama and well deserved to listen to the glorious myths of Ramachandra. Further, Sage Kakabhusundi narrated to Sage Yajjavalkya and passed on to Sage Bharadhvaja, both are staunch devotees of Lord Rama takes immense pleasure in briefing the pastimes of Lord Rama. These two illustrious Sages are Sarvajja, learned, knower of past, present, future, rejoicing the various amusements of Lord Hari, were considered good listeners and reciters as well.
