WIFE OR DEMON ?

RAMAYANA

WITH THIS FIRM DECLARATION, Kaikeyi stopped. Dasaratha stood speechless, staring at his pitiless wife. Was this lovely creation really  Kaikeyi or a demon? Then, like a huge tree felled by a forester with his axe, the King shook and toppled down and lay stretched unconscious on the floor in pitiful ruin.

Regaining his senses after a while he spoke in a low voice: "Kaikeyi, who has corrupted your mind to see me dead and our race destroyed? what evil spirit has possessed and makes you dance in this shameless fashion.? Do you really think that Bharata  will agree to be king after sending Raama to the forest? He never will, and you know it. Can I possibly bear to tell Raama to go to the forest? Will not the kings of the world despise me, saying, This uxorious old dotard has banished his eldest son, the best of men"? Don't you see that they would be laugh at me?  It is easy enough for you to say 'Send Raama away to the forest' but can Kausalya or I survive his departure? And have you thought of Janaka's daughter? Would it not  kill her to hear that Raama is to go away to the Dandaka forest?

"Cheated by your face I thought you a woman and took for my wife.   Like a deluded man,tempted by the flavour of poisoned wine, I was lured by your beauty into marring you. Like a deer ensnared by a hunter, I am caught in your net and perish. Like a drunken Braahmana in the streets I shall be universally despised. What bonus have you demanded" Boons that for ever will taint the fame of our dynasty with the ignominy of lustful dotage that drove an old fool to the banishment of beloved and peerless son.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Now hear, O son of Partha , how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full. free from doubt.

7-2
I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge, phenomenal and numinous.  This being known, nothing further shall remain for you to know.

Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.

Earth, Water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego--all together these eight constitute My separated material energies.

శ్రీమన్నారాయణుడు ఈ సకల భువన జాలాన్నీ తన అమోఘమైన లీలావిలాసంచేత పుట్టిస్తుంటాడు, రక్షిస్తుంటాడు, అంతంచేస్తూ ఉంటాడు. అంతేగాని తాను మాత్రం ఆ జన్మ మరణాలతో నిమగ్నం కాడు. అనేకమైన ప్రాణి సమూహమందు ఆత్మస్వరూపుడై విహరిస్తుంటాడు. ఎంతోదూరంలో అందకుండా స్వర్గంలాగా ఉండి, జీవుల ఇంద్రియాలకు సంతోషాన్ని సంతరిస్తూ, తాను మాత్రం ఇంద్రియాలకు అతీతుడుగా, నియంతయై  ఇంద్రియాలను తన ఇష్టం వచ్చినట్లు త్రిప్పుతూ ఉంటాడు.

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....
