Chapter – 178– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Bala Kanda - Lord Mahadeva describes the splendor of all-pervasive supreme
Bramham to the deities
The mother Earth accompanied by the
deities, Sages, Rishis, and Gandharvas approached Lord Bhrama and revealed her
anguish about life on Earth. Lord Bhrama who have already aware of the
grief of mother Earth was disheartening to watch her in a wretched state,
answered pitifully “Oh! Devi Dharani, I am helpless to speak anything, the
supreme Lord who is your beloved Lord, the preserver of the Universe, is the
only one who can protect you and all of us. Oh! Devi, contemplate upon the
lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari and have patience. He will not let his devotees in
trouble, he can’t bear to watch his devotees in distress, mercilessly punished
by these demons, he is the only one who can put an end to these sufferings once for
all.” Soon a meeting of the deities, Rishis, and Sages was conducted, discussed the need for a meeting with Lord Sri Hari, no one has a clear idea of the
dwelling place of Lord Hari, some said they can meet him in Sri Vaikunda,
someone said they can meet him in the milky ocean, others said he resides in the
hearts of pious souls who have pure love and devotion at his lotus feet. Lord
Mahadeva spoke “Oh! Girija, I was also present in the assembly of the deities,
hence I have kept forward my opinion that the supreme Bhramam is omniscient,
omnipresent, omnipotent, therefore there is not an inch in the Universe is
absent from his presence. Lord Sri Hari is the supreme Bhramam, Lord of living
and non-living things, he is the essence of Universe, and Veda, although the
supreme Bhramam remains unblemished, pure, changeless, eternal, free from
afflictions. He is Lord of Maya/Mayapathi, he is perceivable only with pure
love and devotion like the friction ignites the fire. Oh! Girija, all the
deities, Rishis and Sages assembled were welcomed my views, applauded in
immense pleasure and satisfaction.”
