Chapter – 52– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Devi Sati assumes the form of Devi Sita and meets Lord Ramachandra

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Devi Sati who was walking all alone through the dense forest, her mind was completely absorbed in various thoughts and became restless, finally, she has assumed the form of Devi Sita and walked on the pathways where Rama and Lakshman proceeded. Suddenly, Lakshman saw Devi Sati in disguise of Devi Sita was confused and astonished, kept silent and looked at her gravely. The Supreme Lord Ramachandra who is all-pervasive Bramham, the knower of all, has won over the sense, took notice of Devi Sati camouflaged as Sita, decided to remove the ignorance in Devi Sati who was defeated by the powerful Maya of Mayapathi. Lord Rama approached Devi Sati with folded hands and smiled at her gently, he offered obeisance to Jagathjanani Paramba Bhagavathi in a formal manner as prescribed in the scriptures remembering the name of his father, and enquired about Lord Vrishakethu, and the welfare of all, and also enquired the reason for her visit to the dense forest all alone.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – The all-pervasive supreme Bhramam incarnated as Lord Sri Ramachandra – The supreme Bhramam is eternal truth resides as a soul in the Jeeva – The influence of Harimaya On Devi Sati

 

Chapter – 51– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Bala Kanda – The all-pervasive supreme Bhramam incarnated as Lord Sri Ramachandra – The supreme Bhramam is eternal truth resides as a soul in the Jeeva - The influence of Harimaya On Devi Sati

 

The all-pervasive supreme Bhramam incarnated as Lord Rama in the illustrious clan of Raghu's, Raghukulamani, for the happiness welfare of devotees and pious souls, destroy the wicked demons and thereby reduce the burden of Mother Earth and reinstate righteousness.  He is Lord of Maya/Mayapathi, entice the world and the living beings with his powerful Maya/Prakrithi which is inseparable from him. The Yogis, Rishis, and Sages contemplate upon the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam which is pure, unblemished, changeless, free from afflictions, has neither birth nor death, cannot be dried up with the wind, or burned into ashes with the fire or hurt by weapons and achieves Bhramanandham/supreme bliss. The Vedas and scriptures eulogize the glories of the omnipresent Bhramam as Na: Ithi, Na: Ithi which is beyond comparison and description.

 

Lord Shambhu took all the initiative to clear the doubts in the mind of Goddess Bhavani after witnessing Lord Rama in a miserable state searching for his consort Goddess Sita. Lord Mahadeva detailed the purpose of the supreme Lord Hari incarnated as Rama to reinstate Dharma to Devi Sati. In fact, Goddess Bhavani was greatly influenced by the Maya of Mayapathi Lord Sri Ramachandra, so she was not at all convinced with the teachings of Lord Shambhu because Hari Maya was so powerful and unconquerable even for the deities, illustrious Rishis, and Sages. Lord Shambhu smiled at heart and spoke “Oh! Devi Sati, if you have doubts still lingering in you, then you should go and meet him in person, why do not you go and meet him and get convinced? I shall wait under the shade of the Banyan tree until your return, kindly proceed yourself and get cleared all your apprehensions.” Thus, Devi Sati proceeded to the woods to meet Lord Rama, thinking about how to put a test before the Avadhakumara Sri Rama to find out is he that supreme Bhramam Lord Sri Hari. Lord Mahadeva immersed in various thoughts, understood the wrong perception of Dhakshakanya Devi Sati is not going to do good for her, she did not even believe her consort due to the transition of stars that are unfavorable to Devi Sati, the outcome of her decision to test Lord Rama is going to be inauspicious to her, no one is free from the powerful Maya of Mayapathi, whatever destined to happen definitely will take place, therefore it is unnecessary to indulge in it and waste precious time, soon Lord Shambhu immersed in the meditation of Sri Hari, reciting the Tharakamanthra. In the meantime, Devi Sati arrived in the dense wood where Rama and Lakshman conducting a thorough search for Devi Sita.”

Chapter – 50– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Lord Shambhu makes an effort to clear the misconception of Devi Sati

 

Devi Sati began to think “The all-pervasive supreme Bhramam is beyond description and perception, free from afflictions and impurities, it is the eternal truth, it has neither birth nor death, it is pure and unblemished, even the Vedas as incompetent to describe the nature of Bramham, hence it concludes ‘Na: Ithi, Na: Ithi’, If so, how did the supreme Bramham assumes the form of an ordinary human? If Lord Vishnu has personified on the Earth for the welfare of the deities and pious souls, like the slayer of demons Tripura, how could he wander all over the forest like an ordinary human, lamenting over the loss of his consort? How could he act like the ignorant Jeeva? he is the beloved consort of Goddess Mahalakshmi who symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness, he is the essence of wisdom and knowledge, he is the destroyer of wicked demons on the Earth, how could he act like an ordinary Jeeva attached to Samsara? On the other hand, the wise words of Shambhu cannot be false, he is the Lord of wisdom.” In this way, Devi Sati couldn’t control her racing thoughts felt very uneasy. Goddess Bhavani’s mind was filled with false notions, but did not utter a word about it. Lord Shambhu who is the knower of all realized the dilemma of Devi Sati, began to speak “Oh! Devi, you are the foremost among the female deities, you shouldn’t have doubts that left uncleared, the one who we have met on our way is the supreme Lord Hari personified as Rama of the illustrious clan of Raghu's, hence he should be revered with great respect, he is my beloved deity whose glories were sung in praise by the Ghatasambhava all these days, and Lord Rama is the one who restore the righteousness on the Earth, and destroy the wickedness demons.”

Chapter – 49– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Lord Mahadeva raptured in extreme joy after witnessing the beauty of Rama – Devi Sati’s misperception

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “The legend of Lord of Raghu is exceptionally mysterious, only the wise and learned could comprehend them. The dull-minded, ignorant and unfortunate Jeeva cannot take pleasure in it. Lord Mahadeva along with Devi Sati while returning from the hermitage of Sage Kumbhaja, got a glimpse of Lord Sri Ramachandra wandering in the dense wood, Shambhu could not control his tears of joy, heart brimming with bliss, his eyes enthusiastically took great pleasure in the feast like attractive blue limbs of Rama who is an ocean of beauty. Lord Mahadeva did not intend to cause any obstacles to the purpose of the incarnation of Prabhu Lord Sri Ram, hence remembering the glorious form of Rama whispered ‘Hail supreme consciousness, bliss & eternal truth, Victory to the Lord who is the savior of the Earth’ and kept moving along with Devi Sati. All the way, Devi Sati could sense the unknown enthusiasm and joy in Shambhu, began to think “The mighty Lord Mahadeva is the Lord of Universe, worshiped by the whole Universe, demons, deities, Rishis and Sages and humans.  After all these, why did he offer obeisance to the son of King Dhasharatha, the crown prince of Ayodhya? Why did he refer Rama as supreme consciousness, eternal bliss, and absolute truth? Why did he feel so raptured at the beauty of the prince of Ayodhya? Why did he shed uncontrollable tears of joy?”

Chapter – 48– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Lord Shambhu meets Lord Rama in the dense wood – Rama lamenting over the capture of Devi Sita by the demon king Ravana

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Lord Mahadeva all the way while walking through the hills, thinking of Lord Hari, and how to get a glimpse of the supreme Lord Hari who has personified as Prabhu Lord Sri Ramachandra, and that too without creating impediments to his purpose of incarnation. The mere thought of Lord Hari kindled great excitement in the heart of Hara, was instantly realized by Devi Sati who was walking close by him. The secret desire to achieve the sight of Prabhu Lord Sri Ram was well visible on the sparkling eyes of Lord Hara. The demon king Ravana of Lanka achieved a peculiar boon from Bhrama, after severe penances, that he cannot be killed by the deities or demons, leaving the humans as the weakest sections of the creation. The supreme Lord Hari has personified in the illustrious clan of Raghu to put an end to the harassment of Ravana and his clan.  Lord Hara was confused, if he did not step forward to meet Lord Rama, that would be a great loss. If he meets Lord Rama who is grieving over the loss of his consort in the wood, that would destroy the entire purpose of incarnation. Lord Rama was grieving over the separation from his consort Devi Sita who was abducted by the mighty King Ravana, with the help of his uncle Mareecha who was disguised as a golden deer. Devi Sita who was seated in the hermitage with Rama and Lakshman revealed her desire to own the golden deer was chased by Rama. Mareecha was shot by the arrow of Rama called out loudly for Lakshman, it was mistaken by Devi Sita urged Lakshman to follow his elder brother. Thus, Devi Sita left alone in the hermitage was approached by demon King Ravana disguised as an ascetic and abducted Devi Sita. When the two brothers returned after the chase, found Devi Sita was missing in the hermitage. Rama could not control his grief, lamented over the loss of his consort, conducted search all over the wood with his brother Lakshman, wept bitterly like an ordinary human.”

Chapter – 47– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The incarnation of Lord Hari as Rama – Rama’s search for Devi Sita in the dense wood

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, I shall describe the marvelous conversation that took place between Lord Shambhu and Goddess Bhavani, listen to me carefully. It would remove your perplexities and anxiousness as well. It was in the Thretha Yuga, once Lord Shambhu was invited to visit the hermitage of Khatasambhava/Sage Agasthya, was accompanied by Paramba, Bhagavathi Jagathjanani Devi Sati. Sage Agasthya received the Lord of Lord Mahadeva and consort, the divine couple with great honor, and they engaged in the conversation on scriptures, Veda and Shastra. Sage Agasthya described the glorious legend of Lord Sri Ramachandra to Lord Mahesha, listened with immense delight. They conversed about the devotion to supreme Lord Hari and Shambhu who is a staunch devotee of Lord Hari described them all. In this way, the Sage Agasthya and Lord Shambhu spend several days in the discussion of various topics, and the legend of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Finally, the time has arrived, Lord Shambhu requested permission to leave to Mount Kailash with Dhakshakanya Devi Sati was permitted. During this period, Lord Sri Hari was personified as Rama in the illustrious clan of Raghu at the request of deities and Goddess Earth to reduce her burden, and provide welfare and happiness to the Santh, Mahathma noble-souls.  Lord Sri Rama along with Lakshman was wandering on the dense wood of Dandakavana in a saffron robe in order to keep up the promise given to his father, he was in a thorough search for his beloved consort Devi Sita all over the woods.”
