Bharatha repeatedly asked with tears “Does Lord of Raghu remembers me as his servant?” Hanuman overjoyed watching the modesty of Bharatha, fell at his feet and replied “Oh! Prabho, how can he forget you? He is the Lord of animate and inanimate things in the Universe, holiest among the sacred, he is the treasure house of virtues, and kind to his devotees. Oh! Prabho, you are dear as life to Rama, Oh! Brother, I promise upon Rama that you are his Prana.” Bharatha could not control his joy, he repeatedly embraces Hanuman.

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Hanuman meets Bharatha in Nandigram

 

Chapter - 2– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Hanuman meets Bharatha in Nandigram

 

Bharatha was wrapped up in various thoughts and was grieving over the separation from Rama, suddenly there appeared Hauman disguised as a Bhramin, like a person sinking in the ocean got the bark of the tree to hold. Hanuman saw the emaciated body of Bharatha due to constant vows, and austerities, seated on the Kushagrass, attired in saffron roble, matted hair locks, chanting Ramanama relentlessly and tears overflowing down the cheeks. Hanuman could not control his tears, watching the pure love and devotion of Bharatha, he too transported to a state of ecstasy. He was highly pleased with the devotion of Bharatha, and spoke affectionately “Oh! Prabho, at whose separation you were grieving day and night, and whose virtues and valor are singing in praise, and who is beloved of deities and Mahatmas, is returning successfully after the completion of the term of exile. Lord Rama has conquered his enemies on the battlefield, and returning safely with his beloved consort Devi Sita, and younger brother Lakshman.” The moment Bharatha heard the nectar-like voice of the Vatu, he forgot all his grief like the thirsty person found the reservoir of nectar. Bharatha rose abruptly and spoke in various emotions “Oh! My dear Friend, who are you? Where did you come from? You have brought an excellent piece of information.” Lord Hanuman spoke “Oh! Prabho, Karunanidhi, I am Hanuman, the son of Lord of Vayu, I am a Vanara, a sincere servant of Lord Rama who is the protector of distressed Jeeva.” Bharatha rushed to Hanuman and embraced him, both of them shed tears of joy, remain in the embrace of each other with various emotions. Bharatha spoke affectionately “Oh! Vayuputhra, all my grief has disappeared at the mere sight of you, I have felt the touch of Rama in your embrace.” Bharatha repeatedly enquired about the welfare and health of Lord Rama and all. Bharatha continued “Oh! Brother, what shall I give you in return? You have brought the most auspicious news, and there is nothing propitious than this information, hence I shall remain indebted to you. Oh! Vayuputhra, kindly narrate the life of Rama in the woods.” Hanuman prostrated at the lotus feet of Bharatha and began to explain all those meritorious deeds of Rama. Bharatha enquired hesitantly “Oh! Brother, does my gracious brother Rama remember me as one of his sincere servants while living in the woods?”.

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The initial Prayers – Bharatha impatiently waiting for the return of Rama, absorbed in various thoughts

 

Chapter - 1– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The initial Prayers – Bharatha impatiently waiting for the return of Rama, absorbed in various thoughts

 

I shall contemplate upon supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra, along with Devi Sita, Lakshman, and the host of Vanaras and bears mounted on the magnificent Pushpakavimanam. I shall repeatedly prostrate before Lord Sri Ramachandra who has the dark cloud complexion that resembles the greenish dark color on the neck of a peacock, whose chest bears the footprints of Sage Brighu, he is worshiped by deities, he has great effulgence, attired in majestic yellow silk garment, beautiful eyes resemble blue lotus flower petals, he is benevolent, wielded in bow and arrow.

 

I shall contemplate upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, whose feet are charming and delicate, worshiped by Lord Bhrama, Lord Shambhu, and deities, its caressed by the lotus hands of Goddess Janaki, and sought after by the bee-like the mind of Mahatmas and noble souls.

 

 I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Shankara who has the marvelous appearance and has the luster of flowers of Kundha, and the moon. He is the Lord of Goddess Ambika, and he is kind and compassionate, fulfills all the desires of his worshiper, he has beautiful eyes that have the resemblance of lotus flower, he is unblemished, and liberates the souls from repeated births.

 

It was the day before the completion of the term of the exile of Rama, the people of Ayodhya emaciated with the constant vows and austerities undertaken for the welfare of Rama, Lakshman, and Devi Sita, and grief of separation from their beloved Lord, they anxiously waited for the return of their beloved Lord, and absorbed in various thoughts. At that very moment, they have experienced several auspicious omens, it elevated their enthusiasm, soon the city of Ayodhya was engulfed in brightness and joy. The arrival of Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita and Lakshman was declared in the city, all three mothers rejoiced at heart.  Bharatha’s right eye and arm quivered as a mark of auspicious omen, he felt immensely happy, soon he became thoughtful.

 

Bharatha who was solemnly waiting for the completion of the term of the exile of Rama absorbed in various thoughts, “Why Lord Rama did not come? Has he forgotten me already, knowing that I was the reason behind the troubles mounted in his life? Lakshman is fortunate to be with Rama all these years, he had intense devotion at the feet of the Lord, hence he had the opportunity to serve the Lord and Devi Sita relentlessly. Lord Sri Ramachandra must have known that I am not devoted to him like Lakshman does, that’s why he has refused to take me to the woods. I have committed unpardonable mistakes, those are not to be overlooked in several Yugas, but the most compassionate Lord Rama is forgiving and kind-hearted, he never notices the faults of his devotees, he always counts the good deeds of them. I am certain that Lord Sri Ramachandra will meet me very soon, there are several auspicious omens are visible before my eyes. If I outlive the completion of the term of the exile of Rama, I would be the most despicable in the whole world.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – Rama’s meeting with the Nishadharaja Guha - Phalashruthi

 

Chapter - 120– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Rama’s meeting with the Nishadharaja Guha - Phalashruthi

 

The gracious Lord Sri Ramachandra and Devi Sita offered obeisance to the city of Ayodhya, eyes overflown with tears, experienced a sudden rush of thrill, they landed on the Thriveni and took bath in the sacred waters, and offered an abundance of charities to Bhramins, soon the Vanaras also joined with the Lord. They have visited the hermitage of Sage Bharadhwaja, at that moment Lord Rama instructed Hanuman “Oh! Vayuputhra, assume the form of a Vatu, and go-ahead of the city of Ayodhya and inform our welfare to my younger brother Baratha, and bring back the news about him.” Sage Bharadhwaja praised the valor and virtues of Rama and offered an abundance of blessings on three of them.  Rama prostrated before the sage and with folded hands requested permission to leave, and taken a seat on the Pushpakavimana. In the meantime, Guha the Nishadha King received the news of the arrival of Rama, soon he called out for the villagers in large numbers and cheered “Let us procure a large number of ferries at the arrival of Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita, and Lakshman.” The Pushpakavimana landed at the command of Lord Rama on the riverbank of Ganga, close to the village Sringaberipura. Devi Sita offered worship to the celestial river Devi Ganga, prostrated before her, and took a holy dip in the river, the highly pleased Devi Ganga showered blessings “Oh! Sundari, may you live a long and blissful married life.” Guha rushed to meet his beloved Lord in a state of ecstasy, seeing Lord Sri Ramachandra along with his beloved consort Devi Sita, he has fallen flat before the feet of the Lord in supreme bliss. The Lord of Raghu was extremely delighted to watch the pure love and devotion of Guha, took him from the ground, and embraced him.

 

The merciful Lord Rama and Lakshman embraced Guha, and asked him to sit closer to them, further they enquired about the welfare of Guha. The Nishadha Raja replied “Oh! Prabho, all is well with your grace, I am fortunate to achieve the nearness of your lotus feet which is worshiped by Lord Bhrama and Lord Shambhu. Oh! Prabho Sri Ramachandra you are the essence of welfare and bliss, mere adoration at your lotus feet would make me contented, Oh! Sukhadhama, Oh! Poornakama, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you.” Thus, Nishadharaja Guha offered obeisance to Rama, the compassionate Lord raised him from the ground and embraced him as if it was Bharatha. This dull-witted Tulsidas drenched in the impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, could not explain the splendor of that merciful Lord Sri Ramachandra, mere listening and reciting the legend of Rama, who is the slayer of Ravana, would purify souls, and provide Anananyabhakthi/perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra.  The Mahatmas, and noble souls persistently sing in praise of the glorious myths of Lord Rama, and thereby get rid of interest in worldly matters, bondages and perceive Oneness-in-All/Athmajjana/Jeevathma is Paramathma.

 

Whoever reads or listens to the glorious Yudhdhakanda which depicts the victory over the evil, with intense devotion and faith would achieve everlasting victory, wisdom, and prosperity. Oh! Mind, ponder over the Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam resides as soul, the Kali era is the abode of impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, there is nothing that can protect you other than the recitation of Tharakamanthra “Ra Ma” of Lord of Raghu.

Chapter – 119– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Rama introduces the sacred places of Sethu, Prayaga, Chithrakoota, to Devi Sita and performs ablutions on their way back to Ayodhya

 

Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita, Lakshman, and mighty Vanaras and bears, while traveling on the Pushpakaviman introduced all those places of importance to Devi Sita “Oh! Devi, this is the place where Sethu, a mighty bridge was constructed across the ocean, and a beautiful Linga was sanctified and worshiped by me.” After saying so, Lord Rama and Devi Sita offered obeisance to Lord Shambhu. Thus, the compassionate Lord Rama showed each and every place he had taken shelter in the absence of Devi Sita, introduced all those places with their names to his beloved consort. Finally, the Pushpakavimana arrived on the beautiful Dandakaranya which is the dwelling place of Sage Kumbhaja/ Agasthya and illustrious Sages and Rishis. Rama visited all the Sages and received their blessings, then, they have visited the marvelous land of Chithrakoota, and the hermitages of illustrious Sages and made them happy, after that the Pushpakavimana moved at a great speed, Rama pointed to the stunningly gorgeous river Yamuna,  sanctifier of the souls, wash away the impurities of Kali Yuga. Then, they have arrived on the banks of the celestial river Mahanadhi Ganga, Rama spoke “Oh! Devi, offer obeisance to Mahandhi Ganga, and look at the sacred Prayaga, the King of sacred rivers, the very sight of this holy river would burn the sins accumulated through several years. Oh! Devi, look at the confluence of river Ganga, Yamuna, and Antharvahini Saraswathi, which is the dispeller of sufferings of worldly existence, a ladder to the abode of Lord Hari. Oh! Devi, see the sacred city Kingdom of Ayodhya, which would remove the Thapathraya and liberate the Jeeva from the repeated births.”

Chapter - 118– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Rama along with Devi Sita, Lakshman, and the Vanaras and bears mounted on the Pushpakavimana

 

The Vanaras and bears dispersed at the command of Lord Rama, returned to their homes with a mixed feeling of joy and sorrow, contemplating upon Lord Sri Ramachandra. The chief of Vanara Sugrivah, Jambavan/chief of bears, Angadha, Nala, Neela, Hanuman, and Vibheeshana, along with a few mighty Vanaras and bears, were utterly miserable, not willing to go back, they stood in silence. Their eyes were soaked in tears, stood gazing at Lord Rama. At that moment, Lord Rama, along with Devi Sita and Lakshman mounted on the magnificent Pushpakavimana, and instructed everyone to take a seat on the celestial vehicle, he heartily bowed head before the Brahmins, and the Pushpakavimana took a flight towards the northern region, the Vanaras and bears cheered “Hail Lord Sri Ramachandra! Hail Seethapathi Sri Ramachandra! Hail Sri Rama and Lakshman!” Lord Rama along with Devi Sita took a beautiful throne on the raised platform on the celestial vehicle, which resembled the strike of lightning amidst the clouds on the peak of Mount Sumeru. The magnificent Vimana moved with a great speed, the deities showered flowers in great joy, a cool breeze of rich fragrance lingered on the air, there were several auspicious omens visible before them, the ocean, streams, rivers were crystal clear, everyone felt cheerful, the four quarters of the sky was clear. Lord of Raghu cheerfully spoke to Devi Sita “Oh! Devi, Janaki, it was the place where the mighty Meghanatha was killed by Lakshman, these are the demons killed by Angadha and Hanuman on the battlefield, and there is Kumbhakarnna and Ravana, the two wicked demons who tormented the deities, and Mahatmas were killed on the battlefield.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – Rama instructs the Vanaras and bears to return to their homes

 

Chapter - 117– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Rama instructs the Vanaras and bears to return to their homes

 

In this way, the supreme Bhramam which is eulogized as “Nethi Nethi” by Veda, the Bhramajjanis contemplates and undertake various austerities and penance to achieve that Bhramam incarnated as Lord Sri Ramachandra took great pleasure in the midst of the Vanaras and bears. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, the Vanaras and bears attained that Lord with pure love and devotion, hence the practice of austerities, Japa, Thapa, Dhyanam, Charity, Swadhyaya, Yoga, observance of celibacy, etc. were failed to achieve that compassionate Lord.” The Vanaras and bears collected the clothes and ornaments scattered on the air by Vibheeshana, and they attired in magnificent clothes and adorned in ornaments appeared before Lord Sri Ramachandra who laughed again and again, and showered compassionate grace on them and spoke “Oh! Comrade, it was your might I have conquered the mighty demons, and crowned Vibheeshana as the King of Lanka. Now, all of you can go back to your homes, and live a blissful life contemplating upon me.” The Vanaras and bears looked aghast listening to the instructions of Rama, they joined palms and spoke reverentially “Oh! Prabho, you are the Lord of three worlds, we are terribly unhappy to listen to your instructions, Oh! Lord of Raghu, you have protected us watching the pitiable state of us, we are extremely dejected to hear those words from you. Will it be possible for a swarm of mosquitoes to assist Garuda?” The Vanaras and bears noticed that the Lord of Raghu has no inclinations to take them to the Kingdom of Ayodhya, which pushed them utterly miserable, and they had no heart to return homes.
