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

 

I am indeed very grateful and thankful to all those who have been reading Sri Ramacharitryamanjari in English. May Sri Ramachandra bless you all with long lives, full of happiness, peace and prosperity. In the following few lines hereunder, I wish to conclude the translation of this sacred work.

The Mularamayana or the original Ramayana is believed to be comprising of one hundred crore Shlokas and Sri Valmeeki, who first heard the story narrated by Sri Narada Muni and was also a contemporary of Srirama, has provided us with Sri Ramayana in 24,000 Shlokas. However, we get to know some exemplary acts of Srirama through Sri Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya of Sri Madhwacharyaru and Sangraha Ramayana, composed by Sri Narayana Panditaru.

Some of the interesting and subtle details of the acts of Srirama have come down to humanity through Sri Valmeeki Ramayana.

The sole purpose of translating this noble work into English is to reach it to people not able to read, write or even comprehensively comprehend Kannada and Sanskrit. Trust the translation will receive good response from the knowledgeable readers.

SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharyaru, disciple of Sri Vedavyasaru, shone in the spiritual congregations with his spiritual discourses that were comprehensively eradicating the darkness of lack of knowledge, by getting respectfully complimented, honorably congratulated, devoutly surrendered by the debators of other schools of philosophy, like the Moon shines with his pleasant light during every Sharadritu.

This stanza deftly brings to fore the exemplary, astounding and all round knowledge of Sri Madhwacharyaru. He was able to summarily, critically evaluate other schools of thought and authoritatively assert the Madhwa Mata or the Dwaita Mata. The antagonists used to gleefully accept defeat, acknowledge the Dwaita philosophy of Hari Sarvottamatva and Vayu Jeevottamatva and saluting him with great passion, pleasure, compassion and submission.

The glory of his interpretation, clarification and sensible, logical presentation has been likened to the Moon Light.

SUMMARY: “The complete destruction, preservation, accompanied by the creation that takes place from time to time, is accomplished by the incomparable pledge of Parabrahma Vishnu, who is, significantly, the addressee of every syllable, word and speech, all the Vedas and Shastras, who is closely residing near every animate being, who is not at all bound by the time-specific, time-determined destruction and identified by a form that can only be sensed or perceived through knowledge.”

The gist of the various spiritual discourses has been explained in the next four stanzas by Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru.

Lord Vishnu is the addressee of all the Vedas and Shastras, Scriptures. He is Omnipresent and is not bound by the four types of destruction. His body or persona or personality is made up of knowledge and nothing else. He creates, preserves and destroys everything with sheer desire or pledge or will.

The philosophy explained in this stanza seems to be simple, outwardly. However, it has evoked different interpretations, explanations and description due to the depth, subtlity and criticality.

SUMMARY: There is a lotus with six petals in His naval and in that there is prospective Brahma Lord Vayu. Sri Hari, getting attended and served by the divine community, shining with Kaustubha (Conch of Lord Vishnu is known as Kaustubha) and other jewels, exists eternally among them, drying the Papapurusha (sins personified) with various weapons, in the form of Sri Pradyumna, whose complexion is reminiscent of the brightness of pearl.

Description of the Papapurusha is as follows:

Capital sin of killing a Brahmin called Brahmahatya is the head of this Papapurusha; gold smuggling is his two shoulders; liquor consumption is his heart; seduction of the wife of Guru is his two thighs; association and acquaintance with habitual Brahmin killers is his two feet; his every organ and sub organ are symbols of sin; trespassing into others’ premises or houses, forcible entry into others’ homes etc., are his hairs; hair on his face such as beard and mustache or whiskers are red; his face is bent down; he beholds swords and protecting shields; he has black complexion and such a personality should be thought of being present in the left side of the stomach.

            SUMMARY: “There are several sacred rivers and ponds in India. The positive energy provided by visiting all those sacred rivers and ponds is provided by a tiny portion of the bridge here. Therefore, is there any need for the entire bridge to exist?” Srirama must have thought and hence, by turning his divine bow, he must have cut the portion that had protruded further!

            Sri Vadirajaru appears to have exaggerated the fact that only the front portion or the starting point  of the bridge is visible at present at Dhanushkoti, which bears testimony for the hundred-yojana-long bridge that Srirama had got constructed across the sea to reach Lanka. There is no second thought or opinion about a bridge having been constructed by Srirama.  However, barring a token remnant of that bridge, nothing else is remaining now. Explorations are still going on to find out whether the rest of the bridge has been eroded or intentionally destroyed. Even the Dwaraka City was intentionally submerged by Sri Krishna and recent excavations have brought to light some evidences for the existence of Dwaraka under the sea.

            SUMMARY: “Oh pilgrimage-loving righteous people! You are feeling dejected after wastefully being philanthropists, donating cows, land and gold, chanting Vedas, performing sacrifices and constructing lakes and channels for general public, in pursuit of salvation, heavens after death or peace in the world hereafter; but, there is no need to do all those things; Dhanushkoti is like a treasure box that fulfills all the desires of the righteous on earth as well as the entire divine community of deities. Therefore, anyone desirous of securing ultimate bliss and success should necessarily undertake a pilgrim to Dhanushkodi.

            In the 33^rd Canto of Skanda Purana, under the title Setumahatmya (सॆतुमाहात्म्य), description of Dhanushkodi is given. At present, Dhanushkodi is reasonably connected by road and railway transport.

            At Dhanushkodi, the Eastern and Western seas unite at a place, which is considered to be distinctly sacred for paying obeisance to departed souls. There is a Srirama temple at about half of a mile from the sea shore. There are images of Srirama, Seetha Devi and Lakshmana on the inside wall and a statue of Sri Hanuman can be seen on the exterior of the temple. The name of town “DhanuShkODi” is derived from the fact that Srirama, as advised by Vibheeshana, breached the bridge with the edge of his bow.

SUMMARY: A saint named ‘Indrapuree’, who was deftly condemning all philosophies/schools of thought, with a desire to win the debate, questioned Lord Sri Madhwacharyaru “Can you establish and prove that actions with spiritual awareness alone is the way towards salvation?”

This is another incident that occurred in Kashi. Indrapuri was a saint, who was denying that bliss in salvation is ensured only by knowledge-based actions.

Indrapuri was Amarendrapuri, according to Vishwapati Teertheeya.

SUMMARY: When reverend Sri Madhwacharyaru established and proved it, rendered without an appropriate counter explanation, wicked minded saint sought to know the meaning of ‘knowledge’. Sri Madhwaru then replied, “If at all you possessed some knowledge, you would have grasped its meaning yourself. Otherwise, there is no answer to your question,” and defeated him.

Sri Madhwacharyaru provided several references to show that knowledge driven acts alone give access to bliss in Moksha or salvation. Salvation is otherwise known as realisation of the truth, which is obtained through a wide spectrum of sources. Bhava Prakashika explains: “JnAnapadArTham pruchChantam prati BhagavAnUchE – twam yEna kEnajjnAnEna sahitO na vA| ‘JnAnyasi’ iti vadasi chEt jnAnAngeekAriNA twayA sa jnAnapadArthO jnAta yEva| NEti vadasi chEt sarvajnAnarahitasya tava prashnashabdAnAm tadwiShyANAm chArThAnAmajnAnAt prashna yEva na GhaTEta||
