Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Aranya Kanda – The legend of Sage Sutheekshna, a learned disciple of Sage Agasthya

 

Chapter – 9– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– The legend of Sage Sutheekshna, a learned disciple of Sage Agasthya

 

Rama promised the Rishis and Sages assembled that he will make sure the forest is free from the haughty demons, which would make the life of the Sages and Rishis peaceful to conduct austerities and Tapasya. He took a visit of the hermitage of the Sages who lived in the forest and it was extremely pleased the hermits. Sage Agasthya had a learned disciple Sutheekshna who is an ardent devotee of Rama by word, mind, and deed, came to know the visit of Rama immersed in various thoughts “Will Lord of Raghu who is the companion of the distressed souls approve me as his devotee and shower his grace? Will Rama and Lakshman approve wretched persons like me as their servants? I have no knowledge or wisdom, I have not practiced austerities or Tapasya, or dispassion/Vairagya, or Japa or Yoga, I haven’t been in the association of ascetics and sages, I have no firm devotion at the lotus feet of the Lord, all I have learned that the supreme Lord Ramachandra is merciful, whoever devoted to him would get rid of grief and sufferings of worldly existence. The mere thought of that benevolent Lord makes me feel that my eyes would receive the fortune to witness the lotus-like lovely face of that Lord, that is capable to provide liberation from worldly existence.” Lord Mahadeva spoke “Oh! Parvathi, Sage Sutheekshna drenched in extreme love and devotion for Rama, was beyond the description of words. He was not aware of the direction or did not make an effort to locate the route, he moved forward and backward aimlessly, immersed in the thought of Lord Sri Ramachandra, sing in praise of the Lord, and dancing all the way was watching the Lord hiding behind a tree. The compassionate Lord realized the state of extreme devotion of the Sage, soon dispelled the fear of transmigration of the Sage, revealed his form in the heart of the sage. The Sage sat down in the middle of the path entered into a trance, Lord Rama approached Sage Suteekshana and was delighted to see the devotion of the sage, Rama tried many ways to wake the Sage from the trance but the Sage could not wake out of the bliss. Soon, Rama appeared as Lord Vishnu with four arms in the heart of the Sage and disappeared, soon the Sage got out of the deep meditation in extreme agony, like the serpent lost its gem, witnessed Lord Rama along with Devi Sita and Lakshman before him. Sage Sutheekshna could not control his tears of love, overwhelmed with various emotions, fallen like a log at the lotus feet of the Lord. Rama raised the Sage from the ground and embraced him affectionately, which resembled the Thamala Vruksha in the embrace of the golden tree. Sage Sutheekshna gazed at the lovely face of Rama without blinking eyes and stood like a portrait.

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Aranya Kanda – Sage Sharabhanga prepares to leave to the abode of Lord

 

Chapter – 7– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– Sage Sharabhanga prepares to leave to the abode of Lord

 

Sage Sharabhanga reverentially greeted Prabhu Sri Ramachandra, thus he has achieved the fortune of life, he drank the loveliness of Rama through his eyes. Sage Sharabhanga spoke fervently “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Kripala, Oh! Shanakaramanasa Marala who resemble the swan that takes pleasure in the heart like Manasarovar of Lord Shankara, Oh! Prabho, I was leaving to the abode of Bhrama, as soon as I heard your visit, I was keenly awaiting your arrival day and night, my heart has achieved the serenity at your very sight. Oh! Prabho, I haven’t performed any austerities or Tapasya to achieve your grace, yet you have shown your modesty knowing me as your humble servant. Oh! Prabho, in reality, you have not shown any favor, you have redeemed your vow to your sincere devotees Oh! Sharanagathavathsala, you are the stealer of the hearts of your devotees, kindly stay before my eyes for the sake of your servant, and let me leave my mortal coil peacefully and achieve your supreme abode.” Sage Sharabhanga entered into a trance with his Yogic power, Japa, Thapa, austerities, he has received devotion as a boon in return, further the Sage piled up woods for his own funeral pyre and attained the abode of Lord.

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Aranya Kanda – The practice of singing in praise of Lord Rama removes the grief and sorrow of worldly existence – Viradhavadham – Rama visits the hermitage of Sage Sharabhanga

 

Chapter – 6– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– The practice of singing in praise of Lord Rama removes the grief and sorrow of worldly existence– Viradhavadham – Rama visits the hermitage of Sage Sharabhanga

 

Sage Athri experienced the sudden rush of thrill through his limbs, fixed his gaze at the lotus feet of Prabhu Sri Ramachandra, and thought “What did I do to achieve the grace of the Supreme Lord, all those prayers uttered and austerities performed were brought the fortune to behold the beauty of the Lord, who is beyond perception, the essence of three Gunas/Rajasik, Thamasik and Sathvik, the single source of functioning of the body, mind, intellect, Chiththa, and Ahamkara. Ultimately, the observance of vows, austerities, the practice of Shamadhamadhis, Yoga, meditation, and devotion proved as the only source to perceive that supreme Bhramam/God-realization.” So does sage Tulsidas sing in praise of the glories of that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra and remain in supreme bliss.

 

Singing in praise of the glorious myths of Lord Sri Ramachandra removes the impurities of the Kali era, it removes the Kama/lust, Krodha/anger, Lobha/jealousy, Moha/desire, Madha/arrogance, Mathshcharya/ego, Ahamkara/pride, and Mamakara/possession of the Jeeva which is the root cause of grief and sufferings of the worldly existence. Whoever recites and listens to the legends of Lord Sri Rama with great devotion would achieve all kinds of auspiciousness and bliss. The Kali era is a repository of sins, and impurities, hence the achievement of spiritual wisdom, Yoga, Japa, and Thapa remains impossible. The wise sing in praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra and attains perpetual bliss.

 

Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the Lord of animate and inanimate creatures bowed before Sage Athri and proceeded to the dense woods. Rama in the forefront and Lakshman on the rear side, attired in the saffron robes, adorned in prayer beads, matted hair locks, wielded in bow and arrow gracefully moved through the forest, Devi Sita who is inseparable Maya of the Mayapathi, was attired in a saffron robe and prayer beads walked gracefully following the footsteps of her beloved consort, resembled the Maya between the Paramathma/Supreme Bhramam/Rama and Jeevathma/Lakshman. The rough pathways, streams, rivers, mountains, and hills smoothened its surface knowing the visit of the Lord, the clouds provided shade to the Lord. On their way, the haughty demon Viradha got killed by Rama was achieved salvation. Further, Rama along with Devi Sita and Lakshman visited the hermitage of Sage Sharabhanga.

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Aranya Kanda – Lord Sri Ramachandra seeking permission to leave Chithrakoot

 

Chapter – 5 (2)– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– Lord Sri Ramachandra seeking permission to leave Chithrakoot from Sage Athri

 

Devi Anasuya speaks “Oh! Devi, women are born impure by birth, she attains purity and bliss by serving her wedded husband. Devi Tulsi was beloved of Lord Hari, hence her glories are sung in praise in all the Yugas, even the Vedas highly eulogizes the virtues of Devi Tulsi. Oh! Devi Sita, the women may achieve faithfulness to their husbands and virtues mere remembering your name. Lord Sri Ramachandra is dear as life to you, it is good that I have detailed the Sthreedharma/Pathivratha Dharma to you for the welfare of the world.” Devi Janaki was extremely happy to listen to the discourse of Devi Anasuya, she repeatedly prostrated before her feet. The merciful Lord Sri Ramachandra spoke to Sage “Oh! Prabho, with your permission, I shall take leave from Chitrakoot and settle in some other part of the woods, kindly shower your perpetual grace on us, knowing me as your sincere servant, and never stop loving us.” The enlightened Sage who is a champion of virtues spoke fervently “Oh! Prabho, Sri Ramachandra, you are that supreme Bhramam which is unblemished, pure, dispassionate, neither birth nor death, changeless, free from afflictions, you are too kind and compassionate to your devotees. You are sought after by Lord Bhrama, Lord Shiva, Sanakadhis, and Bhramajjanis, yet you are humble and meek to me. Oh! Prabho, now I have understood why Goddess Mahalakshmi has chosen you as her beloved consort, leaving all the deities. Oh! Prabho, you are beyond comparison and perception as well. How could I say leave Chithrakoot, after knowing you as the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva.” Sage Athri paused for a while staring at the charming appearance of Prabhu Sri Ramchandra, his body quivered in extreme bliss, eyes were overflown with the tears of love.

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Aranya Kanda – Devi Anasuya describes the wifely duties/Pathivratha Dharma/Sthree Dharma of a woman

Chapter – 5 (1)– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– Devi Anasuya describes the wifely duties/Pathivratha Dharma/Sthree Dharma of a woman

 

Sage Athri bowed his head and began to speak with folded hands “Oh! Prabho, let this mind never abandon to meditate and contemplate upon your lotus feet.” In the meantime, Devi Sita went to meet Devi Anasuya/wife of Sage Athri, and prostrated before her. Devi Anasuya was highly pleased with the modesty of Devi Sita, blessed her and made her seated next to her, and provided the garments and ornaments that remain pure and tidy always, further she gave a lecture on ‘Pathivratha Dharma’/wifely duties of a chaste woman in a sweet tone to Devi Sita.  Devi Anasuya spoke affectionately “Oh! Princess, all the blood relations like father, mother, and brother can provide a limited joy to a woman, Oh! Devi, the husband is the only one who provides unlimited joy to a woman in the form of blessings. Oh! Vaidhehi, whoever refuses to serve and follow the duties and responsibilities to a husband is sinful. Courage, piety, companion, and wife are put to test at the time of adversity. Oh! Devi, whoever uncaring and disrespectful to their husband, even if he is deaf, dumb, disabled, wretched, ill, ignorant, blind, would suffer hellish torture in the abode of Yama. The penance of a woman is the devotion to her husband with body, mind, and deed is considered as the superior duty, and righteousness of a married woman. The Vedas and scriptures, Rishis, emphasizes there are four types of women in this world, they are 1) the superior among the one who can’t dream of anyone other than her wedded husband 2) the Madhyama/ second category of women who consider other men like her brother, or son, or father according to his age. 3) The women who are virtueless, uncaring of her own clan or husband, seek every opportunity for her welfare is considered as impure by Veda 4) The women who abandon her wedded husband, and enjoy physical pleasure with the stranger, and fall in love with the stranger of lowly clan shall endure the hellish torture in the Raurava for several thousand and millions of births. Oh! Devi, the woman who sincerely follows the duties and responsibilities towards her husband would easily achieve commendable rewards, if she was disloyal to her husband would take several births and get widowed at a young age.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Aranya Kanda – Sage Athri eulogizes the splendor of Rama

 

Chapter – 4– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– Sage Athri eulogizes the splendor of Rama

 

The illustrious Sage Athri, took feast of the charming appearance of Lord with his eyes, and eulogized Lord Rama in brilliant verses –

“I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Ramachandra who is Bhakthavathsala/benevolent to his devotees, Oh! Prabho, you are merciful and pleasing natured, I shall worship at your lotus feet, which is the supreme abode of your fervent devotees, Oh! Prabho, you have a charming appearance, you liberate the Jeeva from the ocean-like grief of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, you have beautiful eyes that resemble fully blossomed lotus flower, you destroy the impurities of Kama/lust, Krodha/anger, Lobha/greed, Moha/desire, Madha/arrogance, Mathshcharya/jealousy, Ahamkara/pride, and Mamakara/possession of the Jeeva. Oh! Prabho, you have mighty arms, you are extremely valorous, Oh! Prabho you are incomparable, you are beyond perception, you have wielded in bow and arrow, you are the Lord of three worlds. Oh! Prabho, you are the delight of Dhineshavamsha/sun race, you have broken the Bhavachapa/Maheshachapa, you are the delight of the Munindhra/Rishis and Sages, you are worshiped by the deities and you are the destroyer of enemies of the deities, you are worshiped by Lord Shambu who is the enemy of Kamadeva. Oh! Prabho, you are that supreme consciousness, you are the destroyer of impurities of the mind, Oh! Indirapathi, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Prabho, you are the source of bliss and liberation from repeated births. I shall prostrate before Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita and Lakshman, Oh! Prabho, you are the beloved brother of the consort of Goddess Shachi/Lord Indra, Oh! Mortals, do not ruin your life, undertake worship at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra which is the source of all kinds of auspiciousness, it would protect you from repeated birth like Bhavarnnava/the dense wood of forest of worldly existence full of miseries and grief. Whoever meditate and contemplate upon the supreme Lord Sri Ramchandra would get liberated from the sufferings of worldly existence, whoever undertake austerities, and practice control over senses would achieve purity of mind and serenity. The Supreme Lord Ramachandra is the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam incarnated as the son of King Dasaratha, he is omnipotent, and omniscient as well. Oh! Prabho, you are beyond description, you are unblemished, you are the protector of the Jeeva, you are that supreme Bhramam personified as Rama, you are the Universal preceptor, you are eternal, you are not perceivable, Oh! Prabho, you are perceivable for your ardent devotees, you are far beyond the reach of the wicked and deceitful Jeeva. Oh! Prabho, you are that Kalpadhruma /wish-fulfilling tree, that fulfills all the desires of the worshiper, you are beyond comparison. Oh! Prabho, you have a charming appearance, you are Bhoopathi/ King of Ayodhya, I shall repeatedly prostrate before the Lord of Devi Seetha, kindly shower your auspicious grace on us.  Oh! Prabho, kindly provide us intense devotion to Your lotus feet. Whoever read or write the above verses with intense faith would achieve devotion, ultimately attain your supreme abode.”
