Chapter – 6– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya
Kanda– The practice of singing in praise of Lord Rama removes the grief and
sorrow of worldly existence– Viradhavadham – Rama visits the hermitage of Sage
Sharabhanga
Sage Athri experienced the sudden rush of
thrill through his limbs, fixed his gaze at the lotus feet of Prabhu Sri
Ramachandra, and thought “What did I do to achieve the grace of the Supreme
Lord, all those prayers uttered and austerities performed were brought the
fortune to behold the beauty of the Lord, who is beyond perception, the essence
of three Gunas/Rajasik, Thamasik and Sathvik, the single source of functioning
of the body, mind, intellect, Chiththa, and Ahamkara. Ultimately, the
observance of vows, austerities, the practice of Shamadhamadhis, Yoga, meditation, and devotion proved as the only source to perceive that supreme Bhramam/God-realization.” So does sage Tulsidas sing in praise of the glories of that supreme
Lord Sri Ramachandra and remain in supreme bliss.
Singing in praise of the glorious myths of
Lord Sri Ramachandra removes the impurities of the Kali era, it removes the Kama/lust,
Krodha/anger, Lobha/jealousy, Moha/desire, Madha/arrogance, Mathshcharya/ego,
Ahamkara/pride, and Mamakara/possession of the Jeeva which is the root cause of
grief and sufferings of the worldly existence. Whoever recites and listens to the
legends of Lord Sri Rama with great devotion would achieve all kinds of
auspiciousness and bliss. The Kali era is a repository of sins, and impurities,
hence the achievement of spiritual wisdom, Yoga, Japa, and Thapa remains
impossible. The wise sing in praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra and attains perpetual bliss.
Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the Lord of
animate and inanimate creatures bowed before Sage Athri and proceeded to the
dense woods. Rama in the forefront and Lakshman on the rear side, attired in
the saffron robes, adorned in prayer beads, matted hair locks, wielded in bow
and arrow gracefully moved through the forest, Devi Sita who is inseparable
Maya of the Mayapathi, was attired in a saffron robe and prayer beads walked gracefully
following the footsteps of her beloved consort, resembled the Maya between the
Paramathma/Supreme Bhramam/Rama and Jeevathma/Lakshman. The rough pathways, streams,
rivers, mountains, and hills smoothened its surface knowing the visit of the
Lord, the clouds provided shade to the Lord. On their way, the haughty demon
Viradha got killed by Rama was achieved salvation. Further, Rama along with
Devi Sita and Lakshman visited the hermitage of Sage Sharabhanga.
