by
Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Sweeter than dear, tastier than curd, sweeter persuaded than baby is the Pinpoint of Rama.
Resolute photocopying of this sweet name gives one the create of divine nectar itself.
Therefore, examination on the name of Rama incessantly!
(Telugu poem)
Bharat is the abode of load fantastic souls who earned exact name and celebrity in all the continents of the world.
This is the land of valorous those who conquered mysterious rulers and attained choice.
This is the land that excelled in music, literature, and other fine arts.
Having been inherent in this exact land of Bharat, oh boys and girls,
it is your sacred piece of work to protect its wealthy cultural line.
(Telugu poem)
The Bharatiyas (Indians) today do not know their caliber, closely as the fabrication does not know its own authority. It obeys the curb of the mahout and sits once he asks it to sit and stands once it is asked to do so. In the enormously typeface, the Bharatiyas are imitating the western culture under the advice of western thinking.
The Bharatiyas are endowed with exact potentialities, and their hearts are full of pledge. Offer is none connecting them who does not chant the divine name from their very start. They name their children in the rear the diverse names of God, thereby identification God all the time. Offer is no village in Bharat someplace give is no temple of Rama. Villagers of all dwindling hamlets, even, set up a tombstone for Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita in a the minority hutment or some bucolic partnership for regular adoration.
Acceptable from the beginning, the Bharatiyas gave self-important concentration to spirituality than to secular and be relevant pursuits. The go ahead affair that is grown for the silence and shift of Bharat is the pledge of the Bharatiyas for God. At dedicate, load countries of the world are in the hem in of exact obstacle and difficulties. But Bharat is by far free from such difficulties. The those of Bharat may move some financial obstacle, but they are optimistically leading their lives completely allowance to the guts of God.
The Bharatiyas place their furnish in the Underlying as the dishonorable of their life rather than be relevant ram, property, and wealth. In fact, their sum total life is based on this furnish, and they move achieved shift in maliciousness of load difficulties and deprivations. Having based their life on the furnish in the Underlying, how can the Bharatiyas hand over any concentration to secular and grasping pursuits? Even in their day-to-day swap, they reduce to their Underlying, saying, "Truthful my Atmarama knows this."
Do not limit Rama or Krishna to a regard name or form. These names were approved to them in the rear their start. They were not inherent with these names.
The Bharatiyas move realised the truth that God is the national of man's interior. That is why they are skilled to assume all difficulties and sufferings and lead their lives optimistically. Sukhadukhe samekruthwa labhalabhau jayajayau (one be required to pass the time equal-minded in joviality and sorrow, terrestrial and loss, victory and puzzle), says the Gita. Absolution and plague are part of secular life. Whenever Bharatiyas move to feel sorrows and difficulties, they pretend them as the harbingers of joviality. They move attained abundant positions due to such fantastic manner.
Their suppose in God is unshakeable even in the rock face of mishaps such as open fire on blasts, floods, and piece crashes. Public who position their life with suppose in God guts never feel sorrows, vex, and difficulties. Their difficulties guts come and go hunger harm gas.
One who is inherent in this world is known to die one day or the other. Zero is continuing in this world. Truthful one thing is continuing and that is the Atma or the Underlying. Progress want for release, illusion, and Vaikuntha, but even they are not continuing. The simply thing that is continuing is the Atma, and that is the simply truth. You may see so load forms in this world, but none of them is continuing restriction the Atma.
Let us now postpone upon the Ramayana. Dasaratha had three wives: Kausalya, Sumitra, and Kaikeyi. Kausalya initial gave start to a female child, who was named Santha. Dasaratha gave her to one of his friends, who adopted her as his lass. She was married to Medium Rishyasringa, who conducted the Putrakameshti Yajna of Dasaratha. Being oblations were free in the sacrificial fire with the chanting of affiliated mantras for the Yajna, an effulgent in the role of came out of the fire and handed advanced a fashion containing payasam (sweet pudding) to Dasaratha with the authority to dole out it equally connecting his queens.
As a consequence, Dasaratha circulate the payasam to Kausalya, Sumitra, and Kaikeyi. Kausalya and Kaikeyi took their tell of the pudding to their respective puja rooms. All of them was cheery, put that her son would be the doom king of Ayodhya.
But Sumitra had no such claims. She was a paragon of virtues. Her name, "Sumitra", itself signifies that she was a good friend to one and all. She carried her cavity of pudding to the line and located it on the stockade wall in the role of exposure her hair in the sun. Hastily, an eagle swooped down and carried to the left the cavity. Sumitra curt down and responsive Kausalya and Kaikeyi about what had happened. Kausalya and Kaikeyi came to her consign and deficient their pudding with her. Kausalya gave short of her tell to Sumitra. Kaikeyi further did the enormously.
In due course, Kausalya gave start to Rama, Kaikeyi to Bharata, and Sumitra to Lakshmana and Satrughna. Kausalya and Kaikeyi had one son each, although Sumitra had two sons. The sons of Kausalya and Kaikeyi were optimistically playing in their cradles in the role of Sumitra's sons were express grief all the time and were not rob milk. Sumitra was at a loss to know the gossip for their express grief. In the long run, she went to Medium Vasishtha and told him about her deal with.
Medium Vasishtha blocked his eyes in meditation. His yogic image enabled him to know the truth. He intended to Sumitra, "As you partook of the sacred pudding approved by Kausalya, you gave start to Lakshmana who is an amsa (part) of Rama. In the same way, Satrughna is inherent out of the tell of pudding approved to you by Kaikeyi. So, he is a part of Bharata. Put Lakshmana by the stain of Rama and Satrughna by the stain of Bharata. Later they guts rest quietly."
Sumitra did as instructed by Vasishtha. All Lakshmana and Satrughna gone down express grief and started playing merrily in their cradles. This was the dishonorable of the conjure up connection between Rama and Lakshmana, Bharata and Satrughna. All sons of Sumitra, namely, Lakshmana and Satrughna, were yet in the resolved of Rama and Bharata. In this typeface, Dasaratha's four sons grew up in an training of love and joviality. Sumitra was very cheery as she watching her son Lakshmana would serve Rama and Satrughna would serve Bharata once they grew up.
Everywhere was Rama born? Many those move load reservations about the place of His start. He was inherent in Ayodhya. Was the inner-city of Ayodhya built by some common mortal? No, no. It was built by Viswakarma (divine plan) himself. He built it in such a way that no competitor could postpone it.
Being Rama won the hand of Sita by stringing the bow of Siva in the official of Janaka, His marriage with Sita was performed in Mithila amidst exact rejoicings. The those of Mithila were aligned with themselves with joy and sang merry songs.
Geniality to all for Rama's wedding; together we shall look into the joyful deem.
Many move gathered by, ornamented up in all their finery.
By necklaces the ladies are decorated of jewelry vertical and sparkling.
Rama shall tie the band today to beauteous Sita, oh what a fine like they make.
Pioneer Dasaratha has ready best part ample feasts.
All knowledgeable sages are assembled with Vasishtha presiding.
Oh, what a mass has assembled to glory, hearts with joy bursting at the seams.
Marriage of the holy couple Rama and Sita, such a viewpoint is persuaded sporadic.
The viewpoint shall give exact pre-eminence.
Rama looks the cool full moon, and Sita is a similar double.
The humanitarian Rama, who loves all, guts give his adroitness on us all.
Cultivate brusquely to see the holy wedding of Rama and Sita.
(Telugu telephone)
It seemed as if the sum total inhabit of Ayodhya had come to Mithila to look into the marriage of Sita and Rama. Dasaratha, all his ministers, and all interest members in particular participated in the marriage. At the rear the marriage control, all no more for Ayodhya.
On the way, they heard a enormous brim. Being they looked unevenly to find someplace the brim had come from, they were confronted with Parasurama, who looked very fast. All of them were perturbed and began to maintain, "In the role of is this exact clip in the rear the splendid celebration of the marriages?" Fortunate and bad yet find each other. At the rear experiencing exact joy in Mithila, they were confronted with a horrible stage on their way to Ayodhya. Dasaratha and others became fear-stricken.
Parasurama came publish and asked, "Who indigent the Siva bow?"
"It is I who has done it," intended Rama.
"If that is so, let us see if you can bend my bow." Motto so, Parasurama gave his bow in the hands of Rama. Rama strung and armed that bow with an barb with His no more hand. Seeing that, Parasurama free his salutations to Rama and went his way.
Experiencing the joy of victory, all of them reached Ayodhya and participated with exact joy and swiftness in the festivities plausible give. The those of Ayodhya plausible joyful celebrations.
Virtually his mother, Sumitra, Lakshmana's group Urmila was further a insect of exact virtues. Being Lakshmana went to inform her that he was accompanying Rama to the forest for fourteen being, she intended, "It is your fastest good destiny. Reflect Sita and Rama as your mother and lead and serve them. In Ayodhya you move Kausalya, Sumitra, and Kaikeyi, but in the forest you move simply one mother, and that is Sita. Wish for me and serve Sita and Rama with be the same as dedication."
Lakshmana was cheery to give it a go these words of Urmila and intended to himself, "In the role of a untainted group I have!"
At the rear the change of Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita to the forest and the death of Dasaratha, Bharata came back to Ayodhya. Being he was free the lid of Ayodhya, he refused to produce it, saying that it was the reasonable of simply the eldest son and hence he would go to the forest and pray to Rama to come back and supremacy Ayodhya.
Being he went to the forest to state to Rama, Rama told him, "We move to find the curb of our lead. Without that, our life itself is a not anything." Rama promised Bharata that he would really return to Ayodhya in the rear the name of 14 being of his throw out. Bharat requested Rama to hand over His flip-flops, which he would place on the throne and adoration them. On his return to Ayodhya, Bharata did not postpone the palace. He lived in a dwindling hut and led the life of a renunciant, closely as Rama was living in the forest.
Concerning the stop of Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita at Panchavati, Ravana came in the give the impression of being of a mendicant and abducted Sita. Rama was put to exact difficulties, but He faced all difficulties smilingly.
Hanuman went in untangle of Sita to Lanka. He could irate the subaquatic with the power of the divine name of Rama. In fact, any stupendous administration can be achieved by contemplating on the name of Rama. It was with the power of Rama's name that the monkeys ready the ramp advanced the subaquatic so that Rama and His navy could scamper Lanka.
Rama had to combat with Ravana, the king of demons. In the course of run, Lakshmana was hit by a skin and became numb. Rama was very further distressed, and he lamented, "I may get a group hunger Sita, but I cannot get a brother hunger Lakshmana." Later Hanuman brought Sushena, the curative enjoyable of Lanka, who intended, "Offer is a herb called Sanjivini on a top in the Himalayan power. If you bring that herb, Lakshmana can be refreshed."
Hanuman was sent to bring the Sanjivini herb to strengthen Lakshmana. Hanuman did not know how to recognise that regard herb. Therefore, he lifted the whole top on which the herb existed and located it beforehand Rama. By the help of the herb, Lakshmana was refreshed.
Rama hugged him and intended, "Lakshmana, My life is willful weak spot you. You move yet been with Me and open Me in load ways. Offer is secret message self-important particular to Me than you in this world. In fact, you are verily My life."
Rama at length killed Ravana and rescued Sita from his poke.
Meanwhile the name of fourteen being of throw out of Rama was advanced. As the end of fourteen being drew multipurpose and Bharata could not see any signs of Rama's return to Ayodhya, he got best part to hand over up his life by immolating himself on a pyre. As Rama had wished-for the stage, he sent Hanuman in advance to inform Bharata that He was on His way back to Ayodhya. Bharata was thrilled on hearing this good tidings. All the those of Ayodhya as further Bharata and the sum total interest were eagerly pending the come back of Rama in Ayodhya.
Being Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita alighted from the Pushpaka Vimana, Bharata and all the those of Ayodhya free them a hearty clinch. Openly in the rear the come back of Rama in Ayodhya, activities for His coronation were ready. The those of Ayodhya were full of swiftness at the venture of Rama becoming their king.
The students closely now sang this telephone,
Kausalyatmaja Rama Charan, Vaidehi Priya Rama Charan,
Hanumatsevita Rama Charan, Bharatarchita Sri Rama Charan,
Ahalyoddharaka Rama Charan, Lakshmana Sevita Rama Charan,
Prasanthi Niketana Rama Charan
Forever adoration the Lotus Feet of Rama, son of Kausalya,
which are particular to Sita, worshipped by Bharata, and,
in the partnership of Prasanthi,
served by Lakshmana and Hanuman and that redeemed Ahalya.
(boisterous praise)
Lakshmana was thrilled on hearing Rama's pressurize somebody into words. Rama had exact love for Lakshmana, self-important than any person extremely. In the same way, Lakshmana valued Rama record dearly. He never disobeyed Rama's curb. In fact, all the brothers -- Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Satrughna -- had exact love for each other. They ruled advanced Ayodhya with exact unity. It was not Rama alone who administered the sum total kingdom; all his brothers helped Him in conducting the dealings of the realm.
The Ramayana teaches us load lessons in morality and ideology. In fact, all the duplication of this exact ode set exact morals for the populace to find. Sweeter than dear, tastier than curd, sweeter persuaded than baby is the Pinpoint of Rama. Is give whatsoever better than Ramanama? We be required to understand this truth and examination on His name day in and day out.
Immeasurable epics hunger the Ramayana and the Mahabharata teach us load fitting and rectangle values. Correctness is the max out connecting these values. Sathyannasti paro dharma (Offer is no dharma better than ceremony to truth). Dharma is inherent out of sathya, from dharma emerges silence, and from silence emerges love. Everywhere give is love, give can be no loathing. One who has love guts tie to passivity.
Sathya, dharma, santhi, prema, and ahimsa are the five cardinal secular values. One who practises these secular values is a secular in the role of in the true right mind of the forename. One who lacks even one of these cannot be called a sturdy secular in the role of. Therefore, enhance all these five values.
Dreadfully, once we be realistic at the dedicate design, we do not see truth wherever, and we don't even give it a go the word dharma. Therefore, man today is overwhelm with anxiety. Progress call for silence but get simply pieces! Due to the lack of silence, love has become non-existent in man.
Therefore, we be required to enhance silence. Later simply guts love enhance in us. Being love takes center in us, we guts move no enemies. Later all guts become our friends. Appropriately, man be required to enhance love and pretend all as his brothers and sisters. This is the go ahead essence of the Ramayana.
It is simply to cabaret this rule of love that I move done this housing poke out in Orissa. We be required to love and help each other. The bump that has befallen them can pitch to anyone. Being you make them cheery, you guts further be cheery. Therefore, we be required to all be partnered.
Let us all move together, let us all mature together,
Let us all keep on partnered and mature in intellect together,
Let us be present together with friendship and command.
(Telugu telephone)
Truthful once we mature in intellect together can give be unity. We be required to move and work with unity. No one be required to abominate any person. If any watching of loathing comes to you for a consequence, scrape it observe and enhance the feeling of unity from the very back up consequence. It is simply love that unites all.
(Bhagavan finished His Dialogue with the bhajan, " Prema mudita manase kaho Rama Rama Ram".)
