Chapter – 177– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Bala Kanda - The demon ruled city of Lanka lost belief in scriptures, sacred
texts, preceptor, noble-souls, and the twice-born resulted in utter grief and
agony – The Mother Earth assumes the form of a divine cow and approach the
deities.
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, Japa/recitation
of Vedic chants, Yoga, Thapa/austerities and vow, Bairagya/Shamadhamadhi, Magha/fire
sacrifices were disappeared, the practice of meditation, fire sacrifices,
recitation of sacred texts, the performance of religious and spiritual rites were
strictly forbidden in the city of Lanka, if anyone dares to practice would be
brought before the king and severe punishments were imposed, and do not let the
people live a peaceful life, people were thrashed to death for their practice
of Dharma, eventually, the honesty, belief, and righteousness has disappeared
from the world, and whoever engaged in Vedic way of living or spiritual and
religious practices were punished severely and thrown out of the city. The
demons were engaged in all heinous activities, took great pleasure in man
slaughtering, and all evil-doings. Immoral activities rose to a great extent
due to lack of righteousness, resulted in people stolen the wealth, money,
possession, wives of others, engaged in gambling and consumption of
intoxicating drinks lost serenity of mind, total chaos was visible all over Kingdom,
ultimately the Dharma disappeared from the world. People lost belief in
deities, scriptures, and sacred texts lost respect to the preceptor, Mahatmas,
parents and elders led a panic-stricken life. Goddess Bhavani, who is the
knower of all, consider those who follow immoral deeds, destroy the faith and
religions/Varnna and Ashramadharma, which bring imbalance in the life on Earth
as demons. The mother Earth felt “The weight of mountains, rivers, and ocean
seems to be less oppressive than the demons who engage in immoral deeds,
massacre, man-slaughtering, etc..”, she dejectedly watched over the atrocities
during the regime of Ravana, yet the fear of him kept her silent for a while, all
the Jeevas were perturbed, finally, the mother Earth gathered some courage and
took the form of a divine cow and approached the mountain cave where the
deities and Sages have taken shelter for a longer period of time. Mother Earth,
met them and described the brutalities of Ravana, and the anguish and helpless
of the pious people, but none was dared to speak a word.”
