RAAMA SLAYS THE MONESTERS

RAMAYANA

     Viswaamitra was supremely happy at the completion of his Yaaga. " I am grateful to king Dasaradha," he said . You have fulfilled the promise, princes I admire your fortitude. This aashrama has through you become again a scene of success, Siddhaashrama" (Sidda means success)

     The next day, Raama and Laksmana after their morning prayers, went to Viswaamitra and asked for further orders. 

     The purpose of Raama's birth was not  unknown to sage Viswaamitra. And he knew too the powers of weapons he had given to Raama. Still the actual fact when experienced is some thing more than expectation. Sage Viswaamitra was happy beyond words, and his face glowed like a flame. He then thought of the service that he still had to do for Raama. This was prince's marriage with Seetha.  

     The rishis assembled there said to Raama: "We intend proceeding  to the kingdom of Videha  where, in the capital city of Mithila, Janaka, the illustrious philosopher king, intends to perform a great sacrifice.

     " All of us are going there and it will be good  if you and the prince, your brother, accompany us. It is meet and proper that the Prince of Ayodhya should see the marvelous bow in the court of Janaka.'

     so it was decided , and Raama and Lakshmana went with Viswaamitra to Janaka's city.

Bhagavad-Gita.

     2-53

     When your mind is no longer disturbed by the flowery language of the 

Vedas, and when it remains fixed in the trance of self realization, then you will have attained the divine consciousness.

     2-54

     Arjuna said: O Krishna, what are the symptoms of one whose consciousness is thus merged in transcendence? How does he speak , and what is his  language? How does he sit, and how does he walk?

     2-55

     The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O Partha, when a man gives up all varieties of desire for sense gratification, which arise from mental concoction,  and when his mind, thus purified, finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness.

     2-56

     One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness , and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.

పోతనభాగవతము

1-27,28

     ఆమెగారికి మేమిద్దరం కొడుకులము పుట్టాము, పెద్దవాడు తిప్పన్న. ఆయన ఈశ్వరార్చన కళాశీలుడు. నేను చిన్నవాణ్ణి. నాపేరు పోతన్న. పెద్దల అడుగుజాడలలో నడుస్తున్నవాణ్ణి.

      

     అయిన నేను నా చిత్తంబున శ్రీరామచంద్రుణ్ణి నా నిండు గుండెలో నిలుపుకొన్నవాడినై

మిగతాది..తర్వాత.
