STORM AND CALM

RAMAYANA

Raama went to queen Kausalya's dwelling. Many visitors were assembled there, eagerly awaiting the coronation. In the innermost apartment, the Queen, clad in white silk, was before the sacrificial fire invoking blessings on her son.

As soon as Raama entered, she embraced him and she embraced him and showed him, who she thought was to become the Yuvaraaja, to a specially raised seat.

"Mother, this seat is now too high for me," said Raama. "I am a hermit and should sit on grass spread on the floor. I have brought you news which may sadden you. Listen, and give me your blessings."

And he told briefly, what had happened "The King wishes to give the crown to Bharata.  His command is that I should spend fourteen years in the 
Dandaka forest. I must leave today. mother, and I come for your blessings before I go."

When Kausalya heard this, she fell on the ground like a plantain tree suddenly out down.  Lakshmana and  Rama gently raised her .

She clung to Raama and cried: "Is  my heart made of stone or  iron that I still live?"

Lakshmana could not bear the sight of the Queen's grief, Angrily he spoke: " This old King has  pronounced on Raama a doom that is reserved for the most  wicked evil-doors. What sin or crime has  Raama committed? Not, even his worst enemy could find any fault in Raama. The doting old man has lost his senses over his young wife and is not fit to be king any more.

BHAGAVAD-GITA

8-17
By human calculation, a thousand ages taken together from the duration of Brahma's one day. And such also is the duration of his sight. 

8-18
At the beginning of Brahma's day, all living entities become msnifest from the unmanifest state, and thereafter, when the night falls, they are merged into the unmanifest again.

8-19
Again and again, when Brahma's day arrives, all living entities come into being, and with the arrival of Brahma's night they are helplessly annihilated. 

8-20
Yes. there is another manifest nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is Supreme and is never annihilated.  When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is.

ఉత్తమమైన కీర్తి ప్రతిష్ఠలు కల రాజోత్తములు నవ్వులాటకు కూడా ఆత్డ్మ సుఖాన్ని అంతరాత్మలలోఅభిలషించరు. అట్టివారు ఎల్లప్పుడు లోకులందరికి అర్ధ సంపదా. ఐశ్వర్యము సౌఖ్యముూ, శ్రేయస్సూ, చేకూర్చాలని కాంక్షిస్తూ ఉంటారు. పరోపకార పారీణమైన తన దేహాన్ని ఆవిధంగా ప్రాయోపవేశం చేసి పరిత్యజించటానికి ఆ ప్రభువరేణ్యుడు ఎందుకు పాల్పడ్డాడో?

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....
