Chapter – 11– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala
Kanda – The devoutness of Sri Ramacharithra to protect the Jeeva from the grief of
Samsara and Samsara Chakra
The Sri Ramacharithra composed out of pure
love and devotion may lack the qualities of excellent poetry and charm, but
it has an abundance of meritorious rewards which the whole world has known about it.
I am certain that people of unbiased nature would listen to it. The
Ramacharithra describes the various sacred names of Lord Raghu which is the
essence of Veda and scriptures. The sacred name ‘Rama’ is Tharakamanthra
constantly recited by Lord Mahadeva who is the beloved consort of Goddess Uma, the
destroyer of the demons of Tripura. Sri Ramanama
is highly propitious, removes the impurities of mind such as Ahamkara and
Mamakara, sufferings, and grief of Samsara, and protects the Jeeva from the repeated
cycles of Samsara as well. I believe any poetry or prose that has possessed beauty and excellence in multitude, but no word mentioned about Lord Sri Ramachandra
would be the same as an attractive young female adorned in loads of ornaments, but no
clothes on her body. The noble-souls are like the honey bees who take great
pleasure at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra would relish the
Ramacharithra even though it lacks poetic skills, and charm written by an
ordinary poet and who have failed to achieve devoutness being in the
association of Santh, Mahatmas? These ascetics are like the rich fragrant wood
that emits an alluring aroma while burning. Although my composition is unappealing,
lacks poetic skills, but it has the fresh alluring rich fragrant aroma of the
legend of Lord Sri Ramachandra, that could alleviate the grief and sufferings
of worldly existence, provide all kinds of auspiciousness, and protects the Jeeva from hurling from the unfathomable ocean of
Samsara.
