BEHOLD A WONDER

RAMAYANA

WHEN SHE UTTERED  these cruel words the King withheld in agony, but Raama heard her untroubled. Kaikeyi beheld a miracle.  There was not the slightest sign of disappointment or sorrow in Raama's face. Smiling the Prince said: " Is that all, mother? Surely, the King's promise must be fulfilled. My hair shall be twisted and I shall wear the bark and I shall go this very day to the forest."

Kaikeyi spoke prophetic words when she said Raama's dutifulness would bring him glory undying. That glory will continue as long as the Himaalaya stands and the waters of Ganga flow and as long as the ocean-waves beat on the solid earth.

Raama said to Kaikeyi, in unperturbed tones: " I am not in the least  annoyed. Would I not be happy to give any thing to Bharata." Even if no one is asked me, I would cheerfully give him my all. And how can I hold back a moment when my father commands it? What pains me a little is that father should he have hesitated to tell me ? Am I not his son, and left it to you to say it to me? Am I not his son, bound to do his behest? What glory or what joy can I look for except  to make  good his word?  How did I deserve it that my father should avert his face from me and refrain from speaking loving words to me ? My grievance , if at all, is that he did not send for me straight and give me his command. I shall go to the forest this very day., with no regret. Send swift messengers at once to fetch Bharata home."

And wherever, at the end of his life , quits his body remembering Me alone at once attains My nature. Of this there is no doubt.

8-6
Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kunti, that state he will attain without fail.

8-7
Therefore, Arjuna you should always think of Me in the form of Krishna and at the same time carryout your prescribed duty of fighting.  With your activities dedicated to Me and your mind and intelligence fixed on Me without doubt.

8-8
He who meditates on Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, his mind constantly engaged in remembering Me, undeviated from the path, he ,O Partha, is sure to reach Me.

అప్పుడు  దిగంబరుడూ, నవయువకుడూ ఆయిన తన తనయుణ్మి చూసి సిగ్గుపడి చీరలు ధరించకుండా, వస్త్రధారియై వచ్చిన వృద్ధుడైన తనను చూచి లజ్జతో వస్త్రాలు కట్టుకున్న దేవకాంతల్ని కాంచి ఆశ్చర్యపడి వ్యాసుడు అందుకు కారణమేమిటని అడిగాడు.  అప్పుడు వారు నీ కుమారుడికి స్త్రీ పురుషులు అనే బేధభావం లేదు.  అంతేకాక ఆయన నిర్వికల్పుడు. మరి నీలో స్త్రీ పురుష భేదభావం అంకా పోలేదు.  నీకూ ఆయనకూ ఎంతో అంతరముంది అని అన్నారుట.

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....
