Chapter – 319– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya
Kanda– The meritorious rewards of reading or recitation of the legend of Bharatha
Bharatha worshiped the wooden sandals of Lord
Sri Ramachandra on a regular basis, with a heart full of love and devotion, in between
he was constantly referred to the affairs of the King of Ayodhya. He continuously
engaged in contemplation of Lord Rama and Devi Sita, with the tears overflowing
uttering the sacred name ‘Rama’. In the meantime, Rama, Lakshman, and Devi Sita
dwelt in the forest, Bharatha undertaken extreme penance and austerities in the
hermitage of Nandgrama which resulted in his body shrunk into a skeleton, everyone
praised the devotion of Bharatha. The illustrious Sages felt abashed watching
the extreme penance, austerities, religious fervor, and devotion of Bharatha
that made him into emaciated his body. The legend of Bharatha describes the
purity, and devotion, is the source of joy and fountain of perpetual bliss, it
would destroy the mountain-sized sins and evilness of Kali era, it removes the darkness
of ignorance of Jeeva like the bright sunlight, it would eliminate the
illusion/Maya/ignorance and the Thapathrya/ Adhideivika, Adhibhauthika, and
Adhyathmika, which push the Jeeva to get snarled with the material matters of
impermanent nature, causes grief and agony of worldly existence. The legend of
Bharatha resembles the lion that crushes the herd of elephants like sins and
sufferings of worldly existence. The legend of Bharatha is the source of
eternal bliss and pure devotion like an unblemished moon, ultimately it would relieve
the Jeeva from the repeated births as well.
If Bharatha was not born who is the essence
of pure love and devotion to Lord Rama and Devi Sita, who would teach the
highest of the austerities, vows, religious rites, penances, observance of celibacy,
Shamadhamadhi, the practice of perfect control of mind and senses, etc. that was
beyond the imagination of Sages and Rishis? Who would dispel the agonies, pain,
sufferings of worldly existence? Who would persuade the sinful Tulsidas to
practice devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra in this Kali era?
Whoever sings in praise of the glory of
Bharatha, or listens to the splendor of Bharatha would achieve pure
love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama and Devi Sita and get rid of grief
and sufferings of worldly existence and interest in material matters of fleeting
nature.
