WIFE OR DEMON ?

RAMAYANA

TO THE KING THUS STRUGGLING IN A SEA OF GRIEF, Pitiless Kaikeyi spoke cruel words.

"King, if having promised the boons you regret it and will be forsworn, what sort of king would you be and what right would you have to speak of Satya and Dharma? How can you face other kings? Will you shamelessly confess to them, ' Yes, Kaikeyi saved me from death and I gave her a promise, Later, I was sorry, I gave it and I broke it? What else could you tell them? All monarchs will shun you as a disgrace to their order! and common people will laugh scorn at their rulers and say,  'Kings break promises even when given to their queens. Do not expect kings to keep their word,'. Do you not know that Saibya , to redeem the pledge he gave to a bird , cut the very flesh off his bones and gave it away? Have you  not heard of Alarka who plucked his eyes out to keep his word? The sea stays with in its limits and does not overflow the land, because it feels bound by its agreement. Do not violate your solemn pledge. Follow the path of your royal ancestors.  O, I fear that you, their unworthy descendant, will forsake , dharma  you will crown Raama and you will dally with Kausalya, what do you care what happens to dharma ? What do you care what happens to satya? If you deny me the gifts you promised on oath. I shall this very night drink poison and end my life. You may anoint and install Raama , but before your eyes, O, promise breaker, I shall be dead. This is certain. And I swear it in the name of Bharata. It will be well and good if you fulfill your promise and banish Raama to the forest. Else, I shall end my life.

By virtue of the divine consciousness of his previous life, he automatically becomes attracted to the yogic principles--even without seeking them. Such an inquisitive transcendentalist stands always above the ritualistic principles of the scriptures.

6-45
And when the yogi engages himself with sincere endeavor in making further progress , being washed of all contamination, then ultimately, achieving perfection after many, many births of practice,he attains the supreme goal. 

6-46
A yogi is greater than the ascetic,greater than the empiricist and  greater than the fruitive worker. Therefore, O Arjuna, in all circumstances , be a yogi. 

6-47
And of all yogis , the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself , and renders transcendental loving service to Me. -- he is the most intimately united with Me in Yoga and is the highest of all. That is my opinion.

పోతనభాగవతము

1-66
భగవంతునకు జన్మం లేదు. ఏ కర్మలూ ఆయన్ని అంటవు. సమస్త జీవుల భావాలలో ఆయన నివసిస్తూ  ఉంటాడు. అటువంటి పరాత్పరునికి విద్వాంసులైనవారు జన్మ కర్మలు కల్పించి, ఉదాత్తములైన పదజాలాలతో వర్ణిస్తున్నారు. స్తోత్రాలు చేస్తున్నారు. వాస్తవానికి వేదాలన్నీ వెదకి చూచినా జీవునికి వలె దేవునికి జన్మకర్మాలు లేనేలేవు. 
మిగతాది..తర్వాత.

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....
