Chapter - 69– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Garuda became highly enthusiastic after listening to the exploits of Lord Sri Hari, and got relieved from delusion and grief

 

The King of birds, Garuda began to speak fervently after listening to the glorious legend of Lord Sri Ramachandra “Oh! Illustrious Sage Kakabhusundi,  I have got rid of ignorance and illusion after listening to the marvelous Sri Ramacharitha, I have developed intense devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra with your grace, Oh! Mune, I was perturbed to witness the mighty Lord Rama fastened by the Nagapasha on the battlefield, I have realized the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra is knowledge and bliss personified. Oh! Mune, after witnessing Lord Rama lamenting over the happenings on different occasions like an ordinary soul, kindled my doubts, I have understood the reason for my qualms was a blessing of Lord Rama who is the ocean of mercy, and he is the only one who can remove the scorching heat like grief and anxiousness of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, if I was not influenced by the Maya of that Mayapthi, how could I meet you in the Neelashaila? And how could I get the opportunity to listen to the marvelous exploits of Lord Sri Hari sung by you? The Veda and Scriptures, and illustrious Sages and Rishis emphasize that the association of Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls, which is the only source to achieve supreme wisdom/Jeevathma is Paramathma and perpetual devotion/Ananyabhakthi at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Oh! Mune, I have got rid of grief and misapprehensions with the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra, Oh! Prabho, all my qualms have disappeared with your blessing.”
