Chapter - 46– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda –The practice of devotion requires innocent heart, serenity, and the mind without impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara


Rama speaks “ I shall pray before you with folded hands, Oh! Mahathma, the devotion at my lotus feet cannot be earned without the adoration of Lord Shankara, the path of devotion is the easiest way to attain my grace, and there are no difficulties involved in it, it does not require Japa, Thapa, Yoga, fasting or vows. The practice of devotion requires an innocent heart, contented, and the mind without impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, and completely surrendered at my lotus feet. The Jeeva drenched in material matters and engages in the worship of me for personal benefits, cannot achieve my grace. I shall describe the traits of my devotees, 1) the Jeeva who is free from the impurities of the mind, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara and Mamakara 2) free from an interest in worldly matters and bondage 3) have no desire or expectation or fear or animosity against anyone is freely wander over the Earth in bliss. 4) Jeeva who does not perform rites for personal benefits, abandoned home, family, children, relatives, companions, 5) Practice austerities without pride in it 6) free from anger, lust, pride, jealousy, and ego, 7) enjoys the company of Santh, Mahathma and noble souls, 8) consider the Purusharththa/Dharma, Arththa, Kama, Moksha as mere grass, and have firm faith in me without any deep analysis.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The highly meritorious deed is the worship of Bhramanas/twice-born by word, mind, and deed - The Rishis and deities are propitious to those Jeeva who selflessly serve the Brahmins

 


Chapter - 45– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The highly meritorious deed is the worship of Bhramanas/twice-born by word, mind, and deed - The Rishis and deities are propitious to those Jeeva who selflessly serve the Brahmins


Rama speaks “Oh! Mahathma, the Jeeva who is drenched in worldly matters and physical pleasures, are ignorant and unfortunate, even after attaining the rarest birth as a human if it was not utilized for crossing the mundane existence by practicing Shamadhamadhi/austerities and penance, that Jeeva is disrespectful meets the fate of self-murderer. If you seek happiness and welfare whiling living on the Earth and afterlife, listen to me carefully, and store them in your hearts, the Vedas and Puranas emphasizes that the devotion at my lotus feet is the pleasant path to achieve serenity of mind, and cross the unfathomable ocean of worldly existence. The ignorant Jeeva drenched in material matters such as possession, wealth, money, richness, fame, relatives, companion, wife, children, etc. constantly undergo suffering and pain /Thapathrya, finds it difficult to achieve devotion, eventually fails to achieve my grace. Therefore, the practice of devotion is the only way to achieve my grace, which would be possible only with the association of Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls. The association of Mahatmas is not possible without the piousness of the several births, the communion with the devotees of the Lord would bring an end to the Garbhavasa Dhukham/repeated births and death. The highly meritorious deed is the worship of Bhramanas/twice-born by word, mind, and deed, the Rishis and deities are propitious to those Jeeva who selflessly serve the Brahmins.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The unfortunate Jeeva hurls themselves into sufferings of worldly existence, and repeated births

 



Chapter - 44– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The unfortunate Jeeva hurls themselves into sufferings of worldly existence, and repeated births

 

The unfortunate Jeeva drenched in impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, undergoes constant miseries and grief of worldly existence, and blame the Time, deities, and fate for their ill-fortune. All the happiness and pleasures from the senses are short living nature, eventually, it hurls the Jeeva in constant grief. The dull-minded, drenched in impurities of the mind, and sensual pleasures, are ordained to consume toxic poison instead of nectar. These miserable Jeeva hurl themselves into eighty-four lakh Yonis/species of four divisions, continue to drive by Maya, and perform Karma with the influence of time, destiny, and nature, etc. The Jeeva who has no self-interest, sincerely worship me, and perform the austerities, Shamadhamadhi, and have perfect control over sense, cross the unfathomable ocean of mundane existence with the wind like my grace, attains preceptor to guide them to the path of righteousness.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – whoever does not strive for the achievement of the supreme Bhramam/Athmavichara, even after obtaining the rarest birth of human are unfortunate

 






Chapter - 43– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – whoever does not strive for the achievement of the supreme Bhramam/Athmavichara, even after obtaining the rarest birth of human are unfortunate

 

The illustrious Sanakadhis who are the liberated souls/Jeevanmuktha, the absolute Bhramam embodied as the ascetics took great pleasure in the various amusements of Lord Rama, hence the Jeeva whoever does not take pleasure in the glorious legend of Sri Hari is stonehearted. One day Lord Raghu invited Sage Vashishta, Rishis, Sages, and the illustrious Bhramins in the assembly, and all of them were received with great honor and took the seats arranged for them. The Supreme Lord Rama who is the destroyer of Garbhavasadhukha/repeated births, addressed the assembly “Oh! Mahathma, whatever I utter are not out of attachment to the world, I do not compel to do something which is worthless to practice, or I do not enforce my power on the people of Ayodhya, therefore kindly listen to me and act whatever feasible for you, and whoever follows my instructions sincerely is dear to me, if I utter anything unpleasant, kindly correct me. The Veda and scriptures highly emphasize that the human birth is rare to achieve, even for the deities and it is most appropriate for spiritual endeavors, and advancement, it is the gateway for liberation from the sufferings of worldly existence, therefore whoever does not strive for the achievement of that supreme Bhramam, even after obtaining the rarest birth of human are unfortunate.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Karma/good and bad deeds are the product of Maya/illusion and ignorance

 


Chapter – 42– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Karma/good and bad deeds are the product of Maya/illusion and ignorance

 

Rama speaks “Oh! Dear Brother, the good and evil Karma are the product of Maya/illusion, Jeeva drenched in Maya forced to commit good and bad deeds,/ due to the influence Roopa/forms, Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch, Rasa/taste,  and Gandha/smell the Jeeva engages in various Karma. The ignorance causes to commit the sin, and the dispassion and renunciation keep the Jeeva away from the sin.”

 

Bharatha, Lakshman, and Shathrughna were rejoiced at heart listening to the nectar-like speeches of Rama, their heart was brimming with love for the supreme Bhramam, they repeatedly prostrated before the Lord, and particularly Hanuman was transported to a state of bliss, eventually, all of them returned to the palace, in this way, every day Lord Sri Ramachandra ventured out with his brothers and Hanuman, imparting the highest of the wisdom. During these days Maharishi Narada was a daily visitor to the palace of Ayodhya, and sing in praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra, after witnessing the various amusement of Lord Rama, he returns to the abode of Lord Bhrama and narrate to him, Lord Viranchi replied in immense delight “Oh! Thatha, keep singing in praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra,” Sanakadhis praised Narada after listening to the exploits of Sri Ramachandra, they forgot the Samadhi/transcendental state and completely absorbed in listening to the praise of the Lord.

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Rama describes the nature of noble souls and wicked people

 


Chapter - 41– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Rama describes the nature of noble souls and wicked people

 

Rama speaks “Oh! Bharatha, there was no wicked Jeeva existed in the Sathya Yuga and Thretha Yuga, but in the Dwapara Yuga there will be a sprinkle of distressed Jeevas and unfortunately in the Kali Yuga it would be the abode of atrocities, and wickedness. Oh! Dear Brother, the Veda, and Purana, the illustrious Sages and Rishis emphasize that there is no virtue as kindness, and there is no meanness as arrogance. Whoever takes pleasure in inflicting pain on others would take several births and continue to suffer the grief and pain, and whoever drenched in illusion, Kama, Krodha, Moha, Madha, Lobha, Masthshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, commit various sins, and ruin the life on Earth and afterlife as well. Oh! Bharatha, I represent death/Lord Yama, disperse the fruit of Karma/deeds of the Jeeva, the fortunate ones, Sages, Rishis, deities, worship me, thereby get rid of sufferings of worldly existence, and repeated births/Garbhavasa Dhukham. They practice Shamadhamadhi/Sathyam, Shama, Dhamam, Dhanam, Dhaya, Astheyam, Bhramacharya, Ahimsa, Shaucham, etc. renounce from good and evil actions and take refuge in me. Oh! Thatha, I have described the character of the Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls who worship me and get rid of Garbhavasa Dukham/repeated births, and the nature of wicked who repeatedly hurl themselves into several births and undergo sufferings and grief of worldly existence.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Rama describes the nature of wicked people

 


Chapter - 40– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Rama describes the nature of wicked people

 

Lord Rama speaks “Oh! Thatha, people who enjoy the company of others' wives, wealth, and take great pleasure in causing afflictions on others, and enjoy the ill fortune of others, and take pleasure in spreading rumors, are demons, carnivores in the grab of humans. These wicked are greedy, they take immense pleasure in physical relationships and are gluttons by nature, and will have no fear of punishments on the abode of Yama. They could not bear the achievement or fortune of others, they leave a sigh of distress in others advancement, on the other hand, if they see others in afflictions, they take pleasure in watching it as if they had achieved huge treasure. These people are devoted to their selfish interests, they keep enmity with the kinsfolk, drenched in sensuality, and greed. They will not have any respect for their father, mother, preceptor, or Bhramins, they are ruined and bring destruction to others. These wicked people are drenched in illusion, ignorance, and they do not keep association with Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls, or do not show interest in listening and reciting the glorious legends of Lord Sri Hari. They are the ocean of vile nature, dull-witted, drenched in impurities, do not respect Veda or Bhramins, take pleasure in others' wealth and wives. Unfortunately, some wear a mask of noble, although they are malice to all, particularly enemy to the Veda and Bhramins, manipulative, and present themselves as a noble soul.”
