Just like love and devotion towards Him can not be described, there are no words to describe the sweetness of the water.ģ5:4/5 The water provides nourishment to the fields of Rice. Shri Ram’s name is like this water.

Madhur = Priya (प्रिय), Manohari + Mod (मोद), mangalkari = Pramod (प्रमोद)ģ5:3 Here is another simile. Shri Ram’s name is like pure and pristine water which cleans the dirt. Vijay ji elaborated on the words, Madhur, Manohar and Mangalkari (मधुर, मनोहारी, मंगलकारी). Sages and saints are clouds forming over these oceans and showering mankind with knowledge in the form of rains. We have difficulty understanding their depths. The one who tries for the jivanmukti is called Sujan.ģ5:2 Here Tulsidas uses beautiful metaphors. Satwic tendencies will lead to sattvic worldly transactions. The purity of mind is more important than purity of the body. As long as the jeev is attached to pairs of opposite (sansar), it cannot reach the Jagdeeshwar. With His blessings, I now have become a poet of this beautiful poetry”. “I poured my unwavering devotion and I was graced with this Prashad from Bhagwan. He humbly credits Shiv ji for the blessings. One that belongs to Shankar Bhagvan is called Uma).ģ5:1 Tulsidas ji worked very hard to write the Ramcharit. (Vijay ji’s comments: do not give knowledge to unfit students as it may be misused. Dharma, Artha and Kaam represents Purusharth and following a righteous path will lead to cleansing of the mind (चित्तशुद्धी), a preliminary requirement for jeevanmukti. Gurudev in his commentary has rightfully said “we have the right to choose whatever we want but we have to face the consequences”.ģ4:6 Shiv ji did not part with the story of Shri Ram till Ma Parvati asked. He further referred to Manusmriti and laws of the land. We all know the result of crossing the line. Lakshman Rekha stands for the line of righteousness (धर्म रेखा). Lakshman stands for supreme righteousness (परमधर्म) and knowledge (ज्ञान). That’s what Sahtrughna (शत्रुघ्न) stands for. These are the enemies (शत्रू) and need to be destroyed. Vijay ji drew our attention to the BMI chart to emphasise that the desire prompted actions reside in”B”. The Vedas teach us to follow the paths of Karmakand (action), Upasana of Devi and Devatas (Follow the scriptures to gain indirect results) and Gyan (knowledge of detachment from desires to remove ignorance). Tulsidas ji’s Ramcharit Manas not only combined the above two but also incorporated stories from Bhagvatam and principles of Vedanta.Īccording to many Acharyas and Gurus, follow the message from all three Ramayans to reach that undivided ONE and attain the state of realisation (जीवनमुक्ती). Ved Vyasa written Ramayana is also called Adhyatma Ramayana. According to many knowledgeable, the narration by Rishi Valmiki leans towards righteousness (धर्म) and describes Shri Ram as maryada Purushottam (मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम). Valmiki Ramayan: This is an historical epic story. Shri Vijay ji started the session with the history of Ramayana and its significance to us. Summary of last session (December 11) by Shri.
