WIFE OR DEMON?

RAMAYANA

AGAIN, AFTER WHILE, THE old king cried: "What good you will gain by sending Raama to the forest. I fail to see . The only result will be that the whole world will despise you. After many years of prayer and penance.  I had Raama by the grace of God. And him I now banish into the forest.  I, most wretched of men"

Lifting his eyes to the sky, he said: " Oh night!  Stay on . For when you pass and day dawns, what shall I do ? What shall I say to those eager crowds, who, full of love for Raama. will be awaiting  the coronation festivities? O heavens! Stay still for my sake with your stars! No, no stay not for then, I must keep looking at this sinful woman. Depart at once, O night , so that I may escape this face."

Thus delirious and conscious by turns, the poor old man suffered agony--a king who had reigned for sixty-thousand years.

" Pity me, Kaikeyi ,"he said," Forget the harsh things I uttered in anger.  I beg you in the name of the love you bore  me. You may take it that I have given the kingdom to you. It is yours.  And you can give it with your own hands to Raama and see that the coronation goes through. The Raaja Sabha has decided and I have announced to the elders and to Raama that his coronation is to take place tomorrow.  Let not this announcement become false. Have pity on me.  Give the Kingdom as your own to Raama. The fame of this magnanimous gift will last as long as the world endures. My wish, the people's wish, the Elders' wish, Bharata's wish --they are all that Rama should  be crowned. Do this my love, my life" Again the king clung to the feet of Kaikeyi.

BHAGAVAD-GITA

7-9
I am the original fragrance of the earth, and I am the heat in fire, I am the life of all that I lives, and I am the penances of all ascetics. 

7-10
O son of Partha know that I am the original seed of all existences, the intelligence of the intelligent, and the prowess of all powerful men. 

7-11

I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire, I am sex life which is not contrary to religious principles, O lord of the Bharatas (Arjuna)

7-12
Know that all states of being--be they of goodness, passion or ignorance --are manifested by My energy. I am, in one sense, everything, but I am independent. i am not under the modes of material nature, for they, on the contrary, are within Me.

పోతనభాగవతము

వంచన ఇంచుకైనా లేకుండా ,  ఎడతెగని భక్తితో ప్రవర్తిస్తూ నారాయణ చరణారవింద  సుగంధాన్ని సేవించే మహాత్ముడు బ్రహ్మాదులకు సైతం అందుకో శక్యం కాని భగవంతుని 
అత్యద్భుతమైన లీలావిశేషాలను తెలుసుకొంటాడు. ఈ విధంగా చెప్పి సూతుడు శౌనకాది మహర్షులతో ఇలా అన్నాడు. 
మిగతాది..తర్వాత.
జై శ్రీరామ్

SEETHA'S RESOLVE

  RAMAYANA The King bade Sumantra let the prince in. Raama came and bowed to the King from a distance. As soon as he saw Raama, the King suddenly rose and rushed without-- stretched arms  to embrace him. but dropped in a swoon before reaching his son.  Raama and Lakshmana tenderly lifted him up and put him on the couch."My Lord, "  said Raama "we have come to seek your leave  to go to the forest. Vaidehi and Lakshmana too are going with me in spite of all I could do to make them desist. Pray give us your benedictions and leave to depart." Dasaradha then said "Raama, I am bound by the boons that I have given to Kaikeyi. But you are not so bound. Why do you not brush me aside and seize the Kingdom by force? That had long been in King's mind as the best and only solution of the cruel problem and came out now clearly in words. But Raama said: I have no desire for kingdom or power, father.May you reign for a thousand years more. My heart is now set on going to t...

AHALYA

RAMAYANA After a day's stay  in the City of Visaala, Viswaamitra and his  party left for Mithila. On the way,  not for from Mithila, they saw a beautiful aashrama which seemed untenanted. Raama asked V iswaamitra: "Whose is this aashrama with ancient trees? Why does such a beautiful abode stand deserted?" Viswaamitra replied: "This aashrama is subject to a curse.  Sage Gautama lived here with his wife Ahalya,spending his days in peace and holy meditation. One day during the Sage's absence from the aashrama ,Indra filled with unholy desire for the beautiful Ahalya, entered it disguised as Gautama and approached the lady with urgent solicitation. She was not deceived by the impersonation., but vain of her beauty and proud that it had won her the love of the lord of the celestial s, she lost her judgement and yielded to his desire. "When the sin had been sinned, realizing its heinousness and the and the fierce spiritual energy of her betrayed hu...

RAMAYANA Contemporaneously with the yaaga in A yodhya there was a conference of the Devas in heaven. The Devas complained to Lord Brahma that  Raavana, king of the demons, drunk with the power acquired by the boon granted to him by Brahma, was causing them untold misery and hardship. they represented to Brahma:"It is beyond our capacity to subdue, conquer or kill  Raavana. In the security of your boon, he has grown wicked and insolent and ill-treats all, even women,  His desire is to dethrone Indra. You are only our only  refuge  and it is for you to devise a method by which Raavana can be slain and his despotism ended. " Brahma knew that he had granted to Raavana the boon prayed for by him that he should be invulnerable and invincible against Devas, Asuras,Gandharvas and other such beings. In his arrogance, Raavana did not care to ask for security against mankind. As Brahma revealed this fateful omission all the Gods rejoiced and turned to  Vishnu....
