SUMMARY: With a meager soft movement of eyebrows alone by Sri Vedavyasa, the Lord of Universe, all the actions of destruction of castles of wealth or their creation, including those of Lord Brahma, Rudra and others take place.

Lord Hari makes everything with the movement of his eyebrows alone, it is said. This indicates that Lord Hari does everything with utmost ease, for his own pleasure and makes everything happen. It is his domain and none can imagine crossing it. This is what is meant by the word Omnipotent. Sri Dwadasha Stotra puts forth this attribute:

SUMMARY: The Tilak between the two eybrows on the forehead of Sri Vedavyasaru is like the Tilak that adores all the three worlds. It is dazzling like a line formed by the pearl called Padmaraga that is shining at the topmost tower of the beads of Indraneela.

This indicates that the Tilak being worn by Sri Vedavyasaru was red in color.

SUMMARY: Like the smoke emanating from fire ignited in a Parnakuti, a hermitage with thatched ceiling, passes through the tiny holes in the ceiling to indicate that there is fire inside but does not openly show the flames, Lord Hari stays in every being and everything in this Brahmanda, performs all the acts and deeds according to their eligibility criteria, without being visible to anyone.
The golden words in Gita are: “TEna vinA truNamapi na chalati” (Without Him, not a grass shakes). Parnakuti means TruNakrutAlaya – a hermitage constructed with dry grass (thatched hut).
It is said “Yatra DhUmaha tatra vahnihi”. In English too we have a proverb “Where there is smoke, there is fire”. The smoke oozes out of small pores in the thatched hut or hermitage. But, the flames of fire are never seen outside. Lord Hari is inside everything and every being. But, he can never be seen. All thoughts and actions of humans are directed by Lord Hari, though normally it is claimed by humans that he or she is thinking or acting. It needs a lot of devotion to the Lord to realize the reality.

SUMMARY: If the water is fed to the roots of a tree, they (roots) get soaked, branches of the tree beget strength, produce flowers and yield very tasty fruits; similarly, Lord of the Universe Sri Hari receives the worship offered to him and yields good fruits in the name of Brahma, Rudra and other deities and honors the devotees; but, he never exhibits his greatness to the world.

One of the hymns recited as part of Sandhyavandana is:

AkAshAt patitam tOyam yaThAgachChati sAgaram sarva dEva namaskArAha KEshavam pratigachChati|

ಆಕಾಶಾತ್ ಪತಿತಂ ತೋಯಂ ಯಥಾಗಚ್ಛತಿ ಸಾಗರಂ ಸರ್ವದೇವ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರಾಃ ಕೇಶವಂ ಪ್ರತಿಗಚ್ಛತಿ||

Just as the water fallen from the sky joins the sea, the salutations offered to any deity or anyone reach Lord Keshava, one of the forms of Sri Vishnu.

Worship offered to other deities without worshipping Lord Hari is like trying to feed water to the branches or the leaves of a tree, instead of the roots.

This emphasizes the supremacy of Lord Hari vis-a-vis all other deities. It is only the supreme Lord who can receive offering

SUMMARY: Oh Mother, a suspicion about how you are called as Tapa even though you are known to clear the heat; this doubt was cleared after seeing you as you remove the heat of sins.

Tapati River originates from Mount Vindhya and joins the sea near Surat. This river has several names. It is known as Tapee, Tapa, Tapati and so on. Tapti is 

a daughter of Sun. Once, a dispute erupted between Tapee and Yamuna River, which resulted in each cursing the other to become water. However, their father Lord Sun blessed them. He said that the water of Yamuna would thenceforth become as holy as Yamuna and that of Tapati as holy as Narmada. This river joins the Western sea near Surat, where Ashwini brothers did tapas or penance. At this place, there is a temple dedicated to Ashwinikumareshwara, who is in the form of a Linga.

SRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’S SRI RAMACHARITRYA MANJARI (ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ)

SRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’S

SRI RAMACHARITRYA MANJARI

(ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ)  

After the initial exchange of pleasantries, Hanumantha informs Srirama and Lakshmana about the plight of Sugreeva and carries both of them on his shoulder to the place where Sugreeva and others were staying. Later, Hanumantha tells Sugreeva and others: “Dear friends, Dasharatha’s son Srirama is the master for all of us. He has come here with his younger brother Lakshmana. We are very fortuitous to have him amidst us. Such an opportunity cannot come in thousands of births. Seeing Srirama paves the path for salvation. He is the ultimate Lord for this universe. We have no life or anything without him. A demon has abducted Seetha Devi, the beloved wife of Srirama. It is our duty to find out the place where that demon has taken her to. Sugreeva, you should become his friend.”

Sugreeva was thrilled and excited. He narrated his story of how Vali had abandoned him and kept his wife. Sugreeva extended his hands to Srirama seeking a firm friendship. But, Lord Hanumantha said: “Friendship by words of mouth or physical indication has no meaning. You should vouch in front of fire and the Fire God should be made a witness. Sugreeva agreed and took an oath that he would use all his powers to find Seetha Devi. In return, Sugreeva sought the help of Srirama in fighting against Vali and recovering his (Sugreeva’s) wife. Sugreeva also told Srirama that a few days ago, he had seen an airplane carrying a woman, who was crying and pronouncing the name of “Rama and Lakshmana”. Sugreeva also said that the woman had dropped a few jewels at the place where Sugreeva and other monkeys were sitting. Sugreeva had kept those jewels in a safe place. He brought those jewels and showed them to Srirama. Srirama identified those jewels to be belonging to Seetha Devi. Although Srirama was aware of all these things, he pretended to have remembered his wife after seeing the jewels, wept for a while. Sugreeva once again said: “We will kill the demons and bring back Seetha Devi”. He was imagining to be pacifying the Lord of this universe while Srirama appreciated Sugreeva for his devotion.

Meanwhile, Sugreeva told Srirama that Vali was very strong and powerful. He had sent several monkeys to kill Sugreeva but he had killed all of them. Vali could play with mountains like playing with small balls and swim oceans like small wells. The enmity that Vali had developed with Sugreeva was uncalled for as he had not done anything with evil motives. But, Vali had mistaken Sugreeva and was trying to kill him. Srirama said: “I will the person who has abducted your wife with a single arrow.” Sugreeva became very happy for a moment but expressed suspicion about the capacity of Srirama. Srirama, the omniscient, could easily make out that Sugreeva doubted his capacity to kill the “most powerful” monkey-king Vali and therefore asked Sugreeva: “What do you want me to do to instill faith and confidence in you about my power and strength?” Sugreeva took Srirama to the spot where the giant corpse of Dundubhi was lying and said: “If you can throw this corpse to a long distance, I will be satisfied.” Srirama reached the corpse of Dundubhi and touched it with his toe. The corpse flew away to a distance of about one hundred Yojanas. In the nether world under the spot where the corpse fell, a few demons were living. All those demons had obtained a boon from Lord Rudra that they could not be killed by anyone. Except Lord Srirama, no other deity could act against the boon bestowed by Lord Rudra. Due to the force and weight of the corpse that fell there, the demons in the nether world were crushed to death.

Since the corpse of Dundubhi had decayed, it had no blood or skin or nerves. It had lost its weight. Therefore, Sugreeva was not satisfied with what Srirama had displayed by throwing the corpse of Dundubhi for a long distance. Sugreeva told Srirama: “Oh Lord, when Vali threw the corpse of Dundubhi, the body was quite heavy since it had blood, bones and nerves. I am still not convinced about your capacity to kill Vali. Sugreeva was also quite afraid because he did not want to enrage Srirama by putting him to several tests for proving his strength. Srirama did not become angry. He asked Sugreeva to demand anything else to prove his strength. Sugreeva said: “Oh Lord, you can see seven palm trees around me. Vali had tried to fell these trees without success. Finally, he tried to remove a leaf of this tree. He could not succeed. He could only shake the tree a bit. Who on earth can uproot these trees? Moreover, these trees are not in one place or single line. They are scattered in different directions. Even if a person can cut them, he can do so one after the other with separate arrows. If you can do it, I will then believe that you are one hundred times stronger than Vali.”

Srirama looked at Lakshmana with a smile, took out an ordinary arrow and shot it. The arrow shot by Srirama reached every single palm tree and cut it, precipitated the mountain on which they were existing, entered the nether world through a cave at the bottom of the mountain, killed several demons living there and returned to Srirama’s quiver.

The background of Seven Palm trees will be explained in the next episode.

SUMMARY: The group of Brahmins, which, due to their curiosity, asked thousands of questions. It was like a well; the words of this Lord Sri Vedavyasaru, who is the Lord of Vedas, are a river; this river has instantaneously filled to the brim the well of questions asked by the Brahmins.

When a river is in spate, thousands of wells on the banks get filled instantaneously. The Brahmins asked thousands of questions at a time. Sri Vedavyasaru, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, replied to all those questions, instantaneously. That is symbolic of the power of knowledge of Sri Vedavyasaru, which shows that he is omniscient.

The word “Saraswati” means River Saraswati as well as voice.

SUMMARY: The eyes of Sri Vedavyasaru, which are broad, like Lotus, and his smiling looks that give pleasure to the world, come close to me, embrace me, provide me joy and fulfill all my desires.

A Shloka in Dwadashastotra is worth remembering in this context:

SUMMARY: It appears like the basil that is shining near the ears of this great Sri Vedavyasaru, tells “Oh Lord, ensure that the lotus and other flowers shall not occupy this position due to jealousy”

All the Vaishnava Brahmins should invariably wear the basil in the ears. Any number and type of flowers that are offered to the Lord are not equal to Basil. It is mandatory to offer Basil to the Lord as part of the worship or puja.

SUMMARY: Like a father gets his son married by inviting all his relatives and friends with great enthusiasm and spirit, makes his son stay in his house, husband of Indire Lord Sri Hari (Indiraramana) correlates the animate beings with their attributes and virtues and keeps them within the bond of family life, which is an admixture of pleasure and displeasure.  

As explained in Mahabharata and Tatparyanirnaya, a wife can be treated as “wisdom” because after marriage, the man starts thinking about his wife, his family, his children, family welfare and finally ends up developing the “ego”.

Like a virtuous son remembers what his father had done to him, with gratitude, starts thinking of the welfare of his family and acts like a worthy son, a Satwik person realizes quickly that the Lord has blessed him with good body, good health, good parents, good knowledge and everything and surrenders himself to Lord Hari. On the other hand, people with Tamas mind imbibe pride, selfishness, cruelty, crooked nature, evil motives and so on.
