Chapter - 120– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Lanka Kanda – Rama’s meeting with the Nishadharaja Guha - Phalashruthi
The gracious Lord Sri Ramachandra and Devi Sita
offered obeisance to the city of Ayodhya, eyes overflown with tears,
experienced a sudden rush of thrill, they landed on the Thriveni and took bath in
the sacred waters, and offered an abundance of charities to Bhramins, soon the
Vanaras also joined with the Lord. They have visited the hermitage of Sage
Bharadhwaja, at that moment Lord Rama instructed Hanuman “Oh! Vayuputhra, assume
the form of a Vatu, and go-ahead of the city of Ayodhya and inform our welfare
to my younger brother Baratha, and bring back the news about him.” Sage Bharadhwaja
praised the valor and virtues of Rama and offered an abundance of blessings on
three of them. Rama prostrated before
the sage and with folded hands requested permission to leave, and taken a seat
on the Pushpakavimana. In the meantime, Guha the Nishadha King received the
news of the arrival of Rama, soon he called out for the villagers in large numbers
and cheered “Let us procure a large number of ferries at the arrival of Lord Sri
Ramachandra along with Devi Sita, and Lakshman.” The Pushpakavimana landed at
the command of Lord Rama on the riverbank of Ganga, close to the village
Sringaberipura. Devi Sita offered worship to the celestial river Devi Ganga, prostrated
before her, and took a holy dip in the river, the highly pleased Devi Ganga
showered blessings “Oh! Sundari, may you live a long and blissful married life.”
Guha rushed to meet his beloved Lord in a state of ecstasy, seeing Lord Sri
Ramachandra along with his beloved consort Devi Sita, he has fallen flat before the
feet of the Lord in supreme bliss. The Lord of Raghu was extremely delighted to
watch the pure love and devotion of Guha, took him from the ground, and
embraced him.
The merciful Lord Rama and Lakshman
embraced Guha, and asked him to sit closer to them, further they enquired about the
welfare of Guha. The Nishadha Raja replied “Oh! Prabho, all is well with your
grace, I am fortunate to achieve the nearness of your lotus feet which is
worshiped by Lord Bhrama and Lord Shambhu. Oh! Prabho Sri Ramachandra you are
the essence of welfare and bliss, mere adoration at your lotus feet would make
me contented, Oh! Sukhadhama, Oh! Poornakama, I shall repeatedly prostrate
before you.” Thus, Nishadharaja Guha offered obeisance to Rama, the
compassionate Lord raised him from the ground and embraced him as if it was
Bharatha. This dull-witted Tulsidas drenched in the impurities of Kama, Krodha,
Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, could not explain the
splendor of that merciful Lord Sri Ramachandra, mere listening and reciting the
legend of Rama, who is the slayer of Ravana, would purify souls, and provide
Anananyabhakthi/perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra. The Mahatmas, and noble souls persistently
sing in praise of the glorious myths of Lord Rama, and thereby get rid of
interest in worldly matters, bondages and perceive Oneness-in-All/Athmajjana/Jeevathma
is Paramathma.
Whoever reads or listens to the glorious
Yudhdhakanda which depicts the victory over the evil, with intense devotion and
faith would achieve everlasting victory, wisdom, and prosperity. Oh! Mind,
ponder over the Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam resides as soul,
the Kali era is the abode of impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha,
Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, there is nothing that can protect you other
than the recitation of Tharakamanthra “Ra Ma” of Lord of Raghu.
