SRI #RAMACHARITRYA #MANJARI

(ಶ್ರೀ #ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ”)

Srirama has three Lokas or worlds namely Vaikuntha, Shwetadweepa and Anantasana, where he has one home in each Loka. Every such house has seven Royal Doors. Those who have not secured salvation so far can go up to seventh door and not beyond. Entry into the seventh door is available for those who have secured salvation.

Lord Brahma, Lord Vayu, Sri Hanumantha, Shesha, Garuda, Rudra, Devendra, Manmatha and other deities of similar rank and file accompanied Srirama till the seventh door of the Shwetadweepa residence. Others who were accompanying these deities stopped at the seventh doorstep. They were meditating Sri Hari on their way. Srirama lives in another form in the space that leads up to the Seventh Door. However, Brahma and other deities serve Sri Hari by being present in the seventh horizon. Lord Brahma, Narada Muni, Rudra and other deities saluted Srirama and praised him.

There are three Badari Kshetras on earth. The first one is atop the Himalayan Mountain. The second one is near Mount Meru and the third one is located in the region between two giant mountains called Nara and Narayana, where Ganga flows as Alakananda River. These mountains are also known as Sapadalaksha as they comprise of one lakh twenty-five thousand towers and spreads across an area spanning between Eastern Sea and the Western Sea. In between these mountains, there is another mountain called Shatashrunga, where Alakananda flows. In all these Badaris, Sri Hari keeps doing penance in the form of Narayana.

Srirama ordered Hanumantha to go to Badari near Mount Meru and serve Sri Narayana there. Hanumantha was also asked to take another form and go to Kimpurusha Continent, ascend the throne there and govern the State there. Accordingly, Hanumantha is still living happily in Badari, near Mount Meru, serving Srimannarayana, studying and preaching the Mularamayana comprising one hundred crore shlokas, Mahabharata, Pancharatragama, all the Vedas to Rudra and all other deities.

In another form, Sri Hanumantha arrived at Kimpurusha Continent and is governing the State as an Emperor. Hanumantha has assumed infinite forms and is living in all places, wherever Srirama is living or has manifested.

Srirama is living in the middle of the cosmic Milky Ocean, along with Seetha Devi. Apart from Sri Hanumantha, Lord Brahma, Rudra, Garuda, Shesha and other deities are continuously serving him in Milky Ocean. Srirama sometimes exhibits all his incarnations, including Matsya, Koorma etc., and at times, he displays his different forms or incarnations, separately, much to the joy and bliss of the deities around him.

All the forms of Srirama are adorned with lotus eyes. To bestow his special grace on Hanumantha, Srirama lives in Kimpurusha Continent in a very special form. Although different forms of Srirama exhibit different qualities, there is no virtual difference among them. Every single quality or trait has infinite vicissitudes. Sri Hanumantha sings melodiously in praise of Srirama:

 

“Oh Ramadeva, this form of Narayana in which you have manifested here is the basic citadel for all the Lokas. I salute this charming form flanked with Lakshmi, eternally. Oh Lord, you are protecting all the worlds in your Vishnu Rupa.”

“Oh Vasudeva, you are granting salvation to all devotees. Oh Sankarshana, you are an expert in destroying all beings. Oh Pradyumna, you are most influential in creating everyone. Oh Aniruddha, you are highly skilled in protecting everyone.”

“Oh Sanatkumara, you are existing in Sanatkumara, the son of Brahma and teaching the knowledge to everyone as Vishwa Guru. Impressed with the penance of Itara Devi, you took birth from her and wrote “Satwata”, in which you have shown to the universe that you are the Supreme God and Sarvottama.”

“Oh Narayana, you were born as the son of the Goddess of Dharma to teach everyone what is Dharma or Culture and spirituality. You created your son Brahma from your naval. When the wind that blew during the Great Deluge shook the lotus Brahma was sitting, he yelled “HarE” and you saved him then.”

“You created Sankhya Shastra as Kapila Maharishi and in that, you created interest among the deserving in exploring the real meaning of Shastras. As ‘Yajna’, you ruled the throne of Indra and protected Swayambhuva Manu for meditating you through Eeshavasyopanishat.”

“Oh Rama Deva, you have taken forms at will, with knowledge and absolute actions (IcchAshakti, JnAna Shakti and KriyA Shakti Rupas). Your incarnations are infinite and the qualities you have displayed are infinite. You are occupying the entire universe in several forms. I have been witnessing your forms from time immemorial and will continue to see them for eternity.”

“Oh Rama Deva, I am praising you in terms best known to m

e and to the best of my understanding of your qualities, forms and actions. Yet, I cannot dare say that I have praised you fully or comprehensively as you are beyond my comprehension.”

The concluding part of Sri Ramacharitryamanjari will be given in the next episode.
