Chapter – 134– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Hari is Anantha/eternal and Hari Katha is Anantha – The listening and reading the glories of that Lord is enough to remove the sufferings of Samsara

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Bharadhwaja, thus the supreme Lord Hair incarnated as Rama in one Kalpa to reduce the burden of mother Earth, reinstate the Dharma by destroying the wicked demons, and provide serenity, delight, and peace to the noble-souls and Mahathma. The personification of Lord Hari as Rama was sung in praise by many intellectuals, Rishis, Sages, scriptures, and Veda, ‘Hari is Anantha and Harikatha is Anantha’ the supreme Lord Hari has several incarnations are endless like his glorious myth. Oh! Mune, in every Kalpa the supreme Lord Hari assumes various incarnations which are beyond description and comparison, to reinstate the righteousness, and the great Sages and Rishis, noble-souls, sung in praise of his virtues according to their intellect, and all of them are equally mesmerizing and worth listening to, hence Hari and Harikatha are eternal. Lord Mahadeva speak to Devi Bhavani “Oh! Devi, the various passionate sports of Lord Hari is beyond description, can’t be completed in crores of Kalpa. Oh! Bhavani, I have described the powerful Harimaya with a single incident to prove that none is free from the illusion/delusion of Lord Hari, even the enlightened souls have not spared from it. The supreme Lord Hari gets highly pleased with the pure love and devotion at his lotus feet, mere describing his endless legends, remembering the various amusements are enough to get rid of sufferings and grief of Samsara.”

Chapter – 133– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Shiva Ganas meets Maharishi Narada and requests to redeem the curse

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, Lord Hari gracefully accepted the curse of Narada and disappeared from his sight. Maharishi Narada moved to Sathyaloka singing in praise of Hari, he was in utter despair and gloomy about the aftermath of Harimaya. The Shiva Ganas found the Maharishi low-spirited, soon approached him with fear and fallen at his feet “Oh! Maharishi, we are Ganas of Lord Shiva, sincere attendants of Lord Mahadeva, Oh! Compassionate Sage, we have insulted a twice-born and reaped the fruit of it, kindly protect us from the curse.” Maharishi Narada advised them compassionately “Oh! Ganas, the curse already pronounced can’t be taken back, hence you have no other choice, you both will be born in the Rakshasa Yoni.  I assure you that you will be born as powerful, affluent, famous with great splendor in the three worlds, you will win over the entire Universe. Finally, Lord Hari incarnate on the Earth, and you will achieve liberation from the supreme Lord Hari, in a vicious battle. Thus, you will get rid of Samsara and Samsarachakra forever.” The two Ganas prostrated before the sage, later these two have taken birth as powerful demons.

Lord Hari gracefully accepted the curse of Maharishi Narada, and pacified him and brought him out of the Maya. Maharishi Narada was spell-bound to watch the Maya of Lord Hari, there was no Lord Rama, or the princess Vishwamohini, in utter shock Maharishi Narada fallen at the feet of Lord Hari, and shed tears “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Kripalu, Oh! Dheenadhayala, kindly do something to annual the curse I have pronounced, kindly protect me from the grave sin. Oh! Prabho, I have mistreated you, called you jealous and deceitful, how did I protect myself from the grave sins committed on you?” Lord Hari pleasingly replied “Oh! Mune, it was my will, you are showered curse on me. It was not your fault, kindly engage in the contemplation and meditation of supreme Lord Mahadeva who is my beloved Lord, you will get rid of the anxiousness by reciting his sacred name hundreds of times. Oh! Mune, there is no one is beloved as Lord Mahadeva to me, hence do not give up belief and faith in that Lord, and do not differentiate us. Oh! Mune, who does not have faith and belief in Lord Shiva cannot achieve my grace or devotion upon me, it is impossible to achieve my grace without the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Shiva. Oh! Mune, always remember my words and begin to explore the three worlds at your will, you will not get besieged with my Maya, you are freed from my Maya forever.”

Chapter – 131– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Maharishi Narada’s curse on Lord Hari

 

Maharishi Narada continued “Oh! Lord, you have offered the Varuni/ intoxicated drinks to the demons, and toxic Halahal poison to Rudra, and you have been way too intelligent to accept Goddess Lakshmi and the precious gem Kausthubha emerged out of the ocean while churning, in this way, you have been very astute and selfish in all your dealings with the deities and demons. Oh! Prabho, you are independent to act, you are not answerable to anyone. You have always been free-willed, and have performed whatever pleases your mind. You don’t take pleasure or grieve on the occasion when the noble gets tarnished or the wicked get praised, Oh! Prabho, you are not worried or alarmed of anything, you are not affected by good or evil, but you have played the trick on me, for that you will reap the fruit of it.  You have provided me with the appearance of a monkey, for that you will survive with the help of them in the future. You have fooled me, and put me in deep distress, hence you will suffer the pain of separation from your consort.”

Chapter – 130– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The curse of Maharishi Narada on Shiva Ganas – Maharishi Narada’s heated conversation with Lord Hari

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, Maharishi Narada got infuriated and cursed the Shiva Ganas who were laughing and passing funny remarks on attention-seeking acts of Narada in the grand assembly, to take birth in the Rakshasa Yoni, “Oh! Kapati/wicked ones, Oh! Sinful, you will repeat the fruit for your mockery of a sage/twice-born, you will be born as Nishachara.” Maharishi Narada repeatedly looked at the reflection of his face on the water, soon regained his normal form, but his mind was so agitated, could not find peace. His heart was burning with humiliation and lips quivered in anger rushed to the abode of Lakshmiramana, he was completely dejected and embarrassed, “I have become a laughing stock in the assembly of the King, I have trusted Lord Hari and made myself fool before the grand assembly, I can’t bear the pain of humiliation and grief, either I shall curse him or give up my life before Lakshmiramana.”  On his way, Maharishi Narada met Lord Hari along with Goddess Lakshmi and the princess, Lord Hari approached Narada and spoke in a gentle tone “Oh! Maharishi, where are you hurrying? Are you anxious about anything?” As soon as he heard the pleasant voice of Lord Hari, the Maharishi Narada who was already besieged by the Maya, couldn’t control his anger, “Oh! Lord, I know you are jealous of other’s welfare and happiness, you can’t put up with the progress of others, we have witnessed that while churning the milky ocean by the deities and demons, you have influenced Lord Mahadeva to consume the toxic poison to save the Universe, thus you have employed Rudra to safeguard the Universe and its living beings, and you have taken full credit of the occasion.”

Chapter – 129 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Princess Vishwamohini who is Vishnumaya adorn the Jayamala on Lord Vishnu – The disappointment of Maharishi Narada

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, Vishwamohini along with her female companions glided majestically through the vast assembly, beautifully moved like a swan, holding the Jayamala searching for an appropriate groom. She did not pay attention to the corner where Sage Narada was seated full of pride and expectation. Sage Narada became restless could not be seated, often rose from the seat inviting the attention of all, but miserably failed to get noticed by the princess. The Shivaganas couldn’t control their laugh, thoroughly enjoyed the gimmicks of Maharishi Narada, who made a laughing stock in the assembly. Surprisingly, there was Lord Hari disguised as a King was present in the assembly seated in one of the thrones, the princess cheerfully moved to Lord Hari and adorned the Jayamala on his neck. The people in the assembly cheered in extreme joy, soon Lakshmikantha carried the princess on his arm and left the assembly while the other kings were watching in despair. Maharishi Narada could not control his anguish and frustration, felt as if the safely kept the gem tied on the upper clothe slipped away out of the knot, the Shivaganas could not stop laughing and said “Oh! Maharishi, kindly look at your face in the mirror”, soon they ran out of the assembly. Maharishi Narada looked at the reflection of his face in the water, was alarmed and could not control his rage, further cursed the Shivaganas who were laughing from the beginning.”

Chapter – 128 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The description of incidents took place in the large assembly of King Sheelanidhi

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, there were two Shivaganas disguised as a twice-born taken seat in the assembly of the King, immediately recognized the atrocious facial appearance of Maharishi Narada and thoroughly enjoyed watching it, moved closer to the Sage to have more fun with him. The two Ganas were seated on the same row of the Sage who was already occupied in various thoughts, the two Ganas could not control their laugh watching the unusual look of the Sage, began to speak “The supreme Lord Hari who is the epitome of charm, wisdom, and virtues, had provided a charming appearance to Sage Narada, which is beyond description, hence the princess will not overlook his charisma, definitely, she will adorn the Sage with the Jayamala/garland of flowers.” The Sage overheard the comments of Ganas and rejoiced at heart, he was completely under the spell of Maya, tormented by the cupid of love impatiently waited for the arrival of the princess. The Ganas were thoroughly enjoyed passing sarcastic comments, no one could perceive the monkey-face of Narada except these Ganas in the assembly. Soon, the princess appeared in the grand assembly holding Jayamala in the hands, beautifully walking like a swan with her companions, the moment she reached near Sage Narada, she was taken aback watching the monkey-face of the Sage, thrown a contemptuous look at the Sage and moved forward.”
