Treasure-House

When Naradha was going to Vishnu Logam happen to hear a conversation between two hermits in the earth. He came down and invisibly stand close to them.

The first hermit told to another and said “Honorable sir I did penance for so many years but expect the “mantra siddhi” nothing happen my penance was for “Eswara Sakthi” even now I am doing dyanam for Eswara dharshan no luck I do not know when I will have bestow from that almighty of lord”

The other hermit replied “ sir you are better than me at least you have bestowed the “Mantra Siddi” my position is bad nothing happen I also did penance for many years for Eswara Sakthi but I bestowed “Mantratrik” only the any kind of mantra I can understand (If one understand the beejakshram he is called “Mantratrik”) then awake from the penance now I am doing dyanam with full concentration to have Eswara dharshan no luck to have dharshan “.

Heard their conversation Naradha muni appeared in front of them; as soon they saw him they did pranams many time and offered a seat to him and they did “Pada pooja “ to Nadhadha and They stood devotedly side by Naradha.

Naradha was very happy with their devotion and said to them “O men of hermits I heard your conversation so I am here; I feel very happy the manner of your devotion. Hence I expound the path of the devotion and related a story to you; kindly feel free and listen”.

Naradha begin the story. Once There was a king from 'Soorya clan ruling Kosala (The present Ayodya) named 'Doorvasiddhu' and he had two queens the first queens name is 'Manoramai' and the second queen's name is 'Leelavathi'

The king was happy with both the queens. Years passed first Leelavathi gave birth a male child then later a month after Manoramai also gave birth a male child , the king was very happy with the them and he gave name to his first child 'Satrujit' and the second child name is 'Sudharshan' and he celebrated the naming ceremony in a grand manner like a festival for a month. He was extremely happy with the two children and he showered his affection and love on  both of them.

One day the king Doorvasiddhu went for hunting because all the citizen of Kosala given complaint about botheration of the wild animals so he went, when he was hunting there was a wild line attacked him he fought severely with it but with its heavy scratch on his body he died in the forest. The soldiers went to the kingdom and told the news so the minister and guru vasister and the children went to the forest and did all the ceremony and all the minister including the citizen of Kosala decided to crown to Sudharshan even he is 30 days younger then Satrujit. Sudharshan was the legally crowned prince.but Lellavathi's father Ydhajit the king of Avanthi wished to crown to his grandson Satrujit; in the same way Kalinga king Veerasena Manoramai's father wished to crown to his grand son Sudarson.Conflict begun a battle with two countries at last Veerasena killed by Yadajit in the battle and Yadhajit as his wish he crowned to his grand son. Because he was a young king so he stayed and he ruled behalf of his grand son. One day he was planning to kill Sudharshan and his mother this news went to Manoramai through her well wishers so according to her well wisher advice she went to a forest on the way robbers they theft her all jewels and other things except their lives. At last she crossed the river Ganges the help of a sailor and reached the mountain Chitrakootam and walked for some distances and she found sage Bharatwaja hermitage and she went with her son and she surrendered to sage Bharatwaja and told her sad story to him the sage understood that Manoramai is queen of Kosala then he accepted and granted the permission to stay in his  hermitage (ashramam) along with his wife and other rishis wives. The boy grownup and he learnt all the lessons like archery , astronomy and so on from the sage. One day Sudharshan was doing some work in the hermitage there was a Rishi's son called him as “Kleemvane”he felt that word is a Beejaksharam“Kleem” Naradhar stopped this part of the story and asked the explanation to ”Kleem” to the Mantratrik hermit.

The hermit given nice speech of explanation of “Kleem the Bejaksharam.

This is the Kamabijam. Ka means Kamadeva, the Lord of desire; it also means Lord Krishna and Devi Durga as well as Kali. La means Indra,the ruler of Heaven, also lord of the senses. Ee means happiness and satisfaction. Nada and bindu mean those that bring happiness and sorrow.

Naratha asked the hermit what is the benefit bring if one chant this Beejam? And he replied

If one chant this Beejam constantly it gives mental satisfaction, fulfilled all the good desires, strength, wealth, piously good wife and one lost the things he will benefit more than he lost, putra bhagyam, Love, braveness, and mental strength, at last liberty and gods realization. Naradha felt very happy with the hermits answer then he asked to other hermit that what is the meaning of Kali, and Sakthi?

The second hermit he started to answering to sage Naradha.

“Deva; Kali means black in colour.”

Sakti meaning "Power" or "empowerment," is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe . Sakti is the individual, of divine feminine creative power, .sakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, not only is Sakti responsible for creation, it is also the cause of all changes. Sakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Sakti, a mysterious psycho spiritual force. Sakti exists in a state of independent (svātantra, means dependence on no one, being interdependent with the entire universe.)though it is also present in males in its potential, on manifest form.

Naradha felt very happy with the answer then he asked Devi Kali's nature?

Kali devi is the preserver of Earth, but due to her ferocious form she is known as “Ferocious Mother”. The name Kali means She, is Beyond Time. She is considered as a courageous form of Durga or Parvati, who is consort of Lord Siva. Devi Kali is simultaneously portrayed as the giver and destroyer of the universe. She is the mother of the world and the treasure-house of full compassion.

Naradha muni was very happy and he continued from stopped part of the story. Once Sudharshan heard the “Kleem” Beejam he told to his Guru Bharatwaja he was very happy and incited the ”Kleem” Beejam and asked him to do mannam (recitation) so according his guru's advice he recited so long Parasakthi's grace showered on him, he married a princes from Kasi pattanam and he regained his country. He established a temple for Devi Durga in Kasi and also constructed big temple for Devi Durga in his own country. King Sudharshan and his countrymen and the citizen of Kasipattanam worshiping devi and King Sudharshan happily ruled the country.

(even now we can see a Durga Devi temple in Kasi and Ayodhi.)

Naradha was so happy and said “O hermits I explain the philosophy of Nirguna Sakthi, feel free and listen.

“Once I asked my father Brhamma the creator that what is the Nigunam?Because I did long and deep penance in 'Swedhattweepam at that time I had vision on that Threguna (3 qualitative ) Siva Sakthi along with Siddha purushas and Mhans. But I could not have a vision on the “Nirguna Sakthi” (Meaning: devoid of all qualities)

Brahma replied to Naradha “O my son I tell you 'Gunarahita' ( means generating qualities) Sri Parabrahmam is the beyond the qualities whatever is the true sense of sight the same thing is invisible hence how can see the invisible.? The Parabrammam and Sakthi has no beginning and no end this we all knowing fact. Parabrammam and Sakthi are the same only one. One can cognizance it through devotion he can realize, other wise it is impossible to have direct vision. Their luminous power is every where and in every thing. only the possible is Sitroopa' Prabrhamma Sakthi could realize in our body through true devotion “Deho Devalayam” (Own body is a temple)Siva Sakthi are the same as one when you pray them you have to pray together other wise no use. if one pray with haughtiness and separately, one can not have their dharshan. They are sthoolam(huge)and sookshumam (very tiny) so pray them knowledgeably true devotion then you will realize the Nirguna Sakthi through your mind..

Once he finish his detailed description Naradha ask them any more questions for clarification? Then the hermits asked Naradha “Swamy how the Adwidha (One) bramham become Dwidham? (two) we wish to learn your explanation.” Naradha so pleasurably he started to explain.

“Omen of hermits listen the 'Dwidham' is two here is an example . If you take a grain when you see and touch it, it is stronghold one, but when it sprouts if you touch it will split into two likewise when the time of cosmos creation at that time the one split into two the 'Adwida Sakthi ' becomes 'Dwidha Sakthi' Male and Female form If a thing Split, into two it will be half and half ( half male and half female ) when you see it looks like two but half and half is one (1/2 +1/2=1)Jagatkarini Parameswari is one and she is parabrhamam. She is acting as male and female. Any processes without sakthi it will stop the movement. Even the human body is occupy half part, and ability or energy is occupying another half so he/she is consider as one so only one Brahmammam other than none.” after finished his lecture Naradha took leave and the hermits sit for ( Dyanam ) meditation. .

Ardent Devotee

Valmiki Rishi is famed as the harbinger-poet in Sanskrit literature. He is the author of the epic Ramayanam. He is called Adi Kavi.

The Ramayanam Uttara Kandam speaks elaborately about Valmiki Rishi. Previously he was a highway robber and his original name was Ratnagor, Once, the robber tried to rob the divine sage Narada for the benefit of his family. Narada asked him that “O stupid thief don't you think stealing is a sin”? Robber replayed that “No I am feeding my family well so it is not sin” Sage asked him that' if your family would share the sin that you were incurring due to the robbery.? The robber replied to the sage that “Yes why not certainly they will accept “. Sage Naradha told him that “OK perhaps they may not agree about your job So you go and confirm this with your family.' The robber strait away went and asked his family, but none of one agreed to bear the burden of sin. He became vexed, then he finally understood the truth of life and asked for Narada’s forgiveness. Sage Narada said to the robber “see this is the world, if you truthful all will love you, not only your family even others; if you being earn wealth in wrong path no one will care about you, and all will be aloof from you, any way I bless you and teach you a mantra for salvation so you chant, then you will become pure”. Sage Naradha was thinking for a few seconds because the mantra in the name of lord Rama, was not to be given to murderers and the like. thus, Narada decided the path and told the thief to chant "mara mara " the robber meditated for many years, so much so that ant-hills grew around his body. Finally, an Ariel voice declared his penance is successful, bestowing him with the name "Valmiki": "one born out of ant-hills" (Valmikam in Sanskrit means ant-hill).

Valmiki rishi became Sri Rama devotee and written a big epic Sri Ramayanam.

The Ramayanam, consists of 23,000 ślokas and 7 Kandam including the Uttara kandam. It is said the Ramayanam is composed of about 480,000 words, the Rāmāyanam tells the story of a prince, Rāma of Ayodya, whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon-king Ravana of Lanka, The Valmiki’s Rāmāyanam is dated variously from 500 BC to 100 BC.

The Epic Sri Valmiki Ramayanam, prides about Bharatha's nature and his righteousness elaborately.

Bharata was the second brother of the main admirer Rama, it is said that after Rama, he was the symbol of dharma and nobleness. The Pandits description about Bharata, who is greater than Rama himself in virtuousness.

The deep love and esteem that Rama had for Bharata is evident from his declaration that his love for Hanuman and equally with Bharatha.

When Bharatha and Chatrukana entered in the Ayodhi from Kekaya he saw the differences, The Royal flag was not flying proudly as before, and the citizen of Ayodhi was not happy all felt sad, another notable action of citizen as soon as they saw his chariot all went in and shut the doors and some once, they see him straightaway went in and shut the doors loudly.

He went to see his mother Kaikeyi and heard the painful message from her and his sorrow arose the reason is he lost his father, and expulsion of his brother apart from all these he could not do his father's last right. Thinking about his misfortune his sorrow rose and bust out tears from his eyes Bharatha's sorrow knew no bounds. He lamented loudly, rolling on the ground. The minister Sumitrar came and convinced him. He did not convince so he told the minister that give announcement to the Ayodhi that he is leaving to forest tomorrow to see Rama and will bring him back to the country.

The next day he removed his royal dress and wearing thulasimalai and dressed up as hermits and started to the forest to meet Rama. Accompanied by all the citizen of Ayodhi, and Dasaratha’s queens, Vasister, and the minister of the royal court, and the King Janaka of Mithilapuri. Once he saw Rama he busted out with grief and he embarrassed him and he told the sad news to him.

Rama heard the painful news of their father's death, there were utter moan of grief. After finished the ritual of their father's death ceremony, Bharata requested Rama to return to Ayodya as emperor, but Rama firmly refused on the grounds that such a deed would be unrighteous. But Bharatha did not listen Rama's word again and again he pleaded Rama to return to country yet Bharatha heard king Janaka's explanation about Rama's love on Bharatha and Rama's duty and he will not cross his own discipline and righteous. Then Bharata gave up his efforts to take Rama back to Ayodya before the fourteen-year exile pass. Though deeply disappointed, Bharata returned to Ayodya after acquire a promise from Rama that he would return promptly at the end of the fourteen-year exile and takeover the throne. He vowed to Rama that if he did not return immediately when the fourteen years passed, he would immolate his life on.

Then he agreed to govern Ayodya, but not as its ruler, as Rama's representative. The people supported Bharata, as he became the "king" of Kosala and Ayodya, but Bharata himself placed Rama's “Paduka” of the royal throne, and neither ascent the throne nor crowned himself.

 Bharata's period of time was righteous and the kingdom was safe and prosperous, but Bharatha continuously longed for Rama's return. During this time, he did not forgive his mother Kaikeyi, and diligently served Kausalya, Rama's mother, and Sumitra, Lakshmana's mother.

It is said that during his ruling time Bharatha conquered Gandhara and created his kingdom of Dakshasila the existing Punjab, Pakistan, Afghanistan and parts of central Asia. The Pakistan city of Taxila is also a mark of his rule. Pushkalavati, the existing Peshawar, was named after his second son pushkala.

The 14-year period of exile over, Rama annihilated the Ravana kingdom

Remembering Bharata's vow, an anxious and worried so Rama sent Hanuman ahead of himself to prevent Bharata from sacrificing his life.

The koodalmanikyam temple in the Kerala state is the only temple to Bharata in India.

 When Rama walked into the river sarayu, he changed into his eternal and original Mahavishnu form. Bharata and shatrughna walked into the river also and united with him as their original form Chathugana as his shankam and Bharatha as his Sudharshanam.

Message:

The epic Ramayanam says the greatness of the Rama, Bharatha, Lakshmana and Chathurkana and their nature of nobleness; remarkable exceptionally superior and important; highly significance to mankind.

Alwars note about Adhisheshan 'Nadanthal Kudai, Amarnthal Aasanam, Paduthal Padukkai' like Lakshmana's act because he was an incarnation of Aadhisheshan. Chathurkana just an instrument his incarnation from Shankam but Bharatha is from Sri Vishnu's 'Sudharshanam his incarnation is from \Sudharshanam (Su- means clear dharsanam means vision) so Bharatha is an ardent devotee of Sri Rama he is the first Alwar in the earth (Bharathat alwar). he took Rama's patuka holding them on his head and he walked barefooted to Ayodhi that is devotional merits! the symbol even now we can see all the Vishnu temples the “Sadaari” with Sri Rama paduka on top of the Head.

The greatest instruction of the Ramayana. both Rama and Bharatha refused a position of power and the pleasures of the royal palace. No jealousy and no greed, outstanding supreme among the four brothers: love, duty and respect, simplicity, in every sense of the word, was their symbol of honor! The Ramayanam is a greatest institution to a mankind.

 

Sparkling Mist

Ramayanam Speaks elaborately , about Ayodya the city is about 9000 years old. And also it speaks about the important characteristic of Kaikeyi and her birth, also her brave deeds and noble qualities.

Kaikeyi is only princesses' of the King Aswapathi. She is very beautiful looking girl and she is very good and efficient warrior, educated,smart very knowledgeable skill, capable to rule a country and also very good hunter and an expert in astronomy.

One day when she was young girl playing with her friends she happen to see a white beautiful Rabbit and she wanted to catch it so she was chasing it but it ran into a hermitage she also went in but that rabbit went to some where she saw a Rishi was doing penance with closed his eyes just she was in playing mood she covered the sages eyes with her fingers, but that sage angrily opened his eyes saw a girl in front of him very angrily cursed her as “O child you have covered my eyes when I am in deep penance to have Lord Narayana's Darshan but you disturbed me for its reaction your life also become dark reason of Sri Narayana.” As soon as she heard this words from the sage she ran to his father and told the whole story. The king convinced her and he was very sad about the sage's curse.

Years passed Kaikeyi become young maiden. Unexpectedly astrologer and Kaikeyi's guru entered Aswapathi's kingdom and the king welcomed the sage in a grand manner and offered a nice seat to him .

The king subtly requested the purpose of sage's visit. The sage smiled at a glance to the king and said “ O Aswapathy I have come here to remind about your daughter Kaikeyi's marriage; what is your intention and any proposal?

The king said that “O Guru I have not found any one till now also I have not see anybody seriously, without your permission how can it possible?.

Hearing this the sage was satisfied with the king and he told that “Aswapathy other day I met Vasister when I was having chat with him he told that Monarch Dasaratha fallen love with Kaikeyi, unexpectedly one day he saw during her hunting he noticed her ability of hunting and also her beauty so he fallen love with her, so Just I have come here to ask your opinion; What do you think? The king took some time to think. Then he implored the guru to stay for few days.

After a long, day and night thought he arrived with a diction and went to the sage and said “O guru I thought so but a small confusion not for he marrying my daughter he can marry her but already he is having two queens if his first wife have child he may have crown as monarch but I have not even think bad for Kaikeyi so minding my daughters welfare I have arrived to accept with a condition” that is my grand son only to have crown as monarch Hearing this the sage replied him that “Aswapathi according to her horoscope certainly she will marry the Ayodya monarch Dasaratha she will live happily but later stage her curse will start to play it's role”...The sage went. Incidentally the king was thinking about his fatal past life. Due to a boon, he was able to understand the language of the birds, beasts, and insects. However, this was accompanied by a warning that if he ever revealed the content of bird speak to anyone, even his own mother, that he would immediately lose his life; all the day it was very secretly he kept with him . One day, the King and his Queen were walking through the palace gardens during their walk the king happened to hear the conversation of a pair of mated swans. The conversation so amused him that he laughed a little loud.

Noticed his loud lough the queen insisted him to tell her the amazement thought she also enjoy . But he can not reveal the conversation according to his boon, perhaps he bring out the bird's conversation he will lose his life, he was very reluctant to tell her yet She started to grumble too much on and on hence he begin to dislike her so he had banished her from Kekaya because of her inquisitiveness it was her peculiar nature, he was afraid to lead a life with her. Kaikeyi never saw her mother again. She was grown from her childhood by her nursemaid, Manthara. Kaikeyi has seven brothers, she was only the girl child never enjoyed maternal affection from her childhood home. Poor she had grown up absence of motherly affection. Thinking her past his eyes filled with tear.

The King interrupted by a messenger from Kosala saying about Monarch Dasaratha's visit to meet king Aswapathi.

Soon Monarch Dasaratha came and accepted his wish that he will crown Kaikeyi's son, so the marriage held in Kekaya and Dasaradha brought Kaikeyi to Kosala with Royal respectfully as his integrity, beliefs and for his deeds:

The King Aswapathi, was delighted that Kaikeyi joined as a companion, of Kosala, Though something obstructs in his mind and he was worried all the time about Kaikeyis cursed life.

Mean while according to Indira 's request Dhasaratha went to have a battle with a demon called “Samhasura” Kaikeyi accompanied with him. During a furious battle between the two, the wheel of Daśaratha's chariot broke and Samhasura's arrow pierced the King's armor and lodged in his chest. Kaikeyi, who was acting as Dasaratha's charioteer, quickly repaired the broken wheel and then drove the chariot away from the battle field. She nursed the wounded King back to health and they killed the demon and won the battle. Touched by her courage and timely service, Daśaratha offered her two boons. She said that she will ask those boons when she needed so they were very happy.

Years passed King Dasaratha also getting old so he was worried because he has had no children to succeed the crown for that he consulted with his Guru Vasister and according to his advise they decided to perform Putrakameshti Yagam . During the same period of time; there was a group discussion of the devas in the heaven for the reason that Brahma the creator without thinking had granted the boon to Ravana, he has mighty power he is disrupting and killing all maharishis including women " it is beyond our capacity to subdue or kill Ravana. Sri Vishnu is our only refuge and it was for him to devise a method by which Ravana can be slain and his despotism ended".

Lord Brahma knew that he had granted the boon to Ravana that he would be invincible against devas, asuras, gandharvas and other such others. In his arrogance Ravana did not care to ask for security against mankind. As Brahma revealed this fateful omission all the gods rejoiced and turned to Vishnu.

All Devas surrendered themselves to Sri Vishnu and implored him to be born as a human being and put an end to Ravana and his atrocities. Sri Vishnu agreed and assured the devas that he would incarnate as the first of the four sons of King Dasaratha who was then performing a sacrifice for progeny.
The Yaga was performed in a grand manner. At the noon-time the sun god holding a bowl of gold, called the king by his name and said: "Dasaratha all the devas are pleased with you and are answering your prayers. Here is porridge sent by the gods for your wives. You will be blessed with sons if they have drink this divine beverage." Dasaratha's wives partook of the porridge and Sri Vishnu as he had assured the devas, incarnated as a son to King Dasaratha through his wife Kausalya. The child was named Sri Rama. Another child to Kaikeyi named Bharatha and Sumitra gave birth twin children Named Lakshmana and Chatrukana.

Kaikeyi was too affectionate with Rama then her own son Bharatha. Rama and his brothers sent to Gurukulam and so on they all are grown up became a youths and they married the Mithilapuri king Janaka's princess.

Oneday Kaikeyi was standing in her palaces attic and watching the sky atmosphere, when she was watching she found a comet (Val Nakshatram)If it fall down the king's position will be in danger in the country, also for 14 years the country would have been without king, and drought, the country will suffer she was so confused and came to the palace worshiping place and she worshipped the ancestors of Soorya/Ragu dynasty and the son god, went back to her palace sitting on her seat, at that time, a messenger from Kekaya and inviting her for some occasion, but she was so confused mind so in this state she can not attend, so she sent Bharatha and also Chatrukana accompanied with him.

In the mean time Mandhara happen to hear an announcement with drumbeat from the Monarch Dasaradha's external court saying that “The next day is Sri Rama's crowning celebrations so all the citizen of Ayodhi all their homes and the streets should be decorated in a grand manner” .once mandhara heard the news her ill will nature rose extensively against Rama she ran to Kaikeyi and told about the announcement from Royal court, hearing the news from Mandhara she became more bewildered, as soon as Mandhara sees Kaikayi's impression she used the opportunity and said “ Amma you have deceived by the king Dasaratha I heard an announcement that Rama is going to have crowning ceremony tomorrow itself,”

Itis said, The doctrine of analogy for a worried mind: The worried mind is more familiar to search or approachable way to reach all points. Alike Kaikeyi's mind was searching for a firm solution.

Hearing the news from Mandhara Kaikeyi asked her for a solution, and mandhara reminded about her two boons when Sambarasura battle so she asked Kaikeyi to use those two boons now, First is ask him to send 14 years Rama's exile from the country and the second is ask the king to crown your son Bharatha.

Then Manthara gave some instructions to Kaikeyi and went off.

When happily Monarch Dasaratha entered in the kaikayi's palace for his surprise it was messed up the king felt unpleasant experience  because Kaikeyi's palace is very famous for it's decoration, and cleanness. At the very moment that he sighted the state of the palace; all his merry mood vanished from his face. He went in further he saw kaikayi was lying on the floor with tears on her eyes, she ever before behaved like this. He stunned to see her and asked the reason and she lifted her head soon she saw the king she busted out but intensely she changed her face looked like angry and asked him“ before you take diction always you will consult me why you did not consult me about Rama's crowing ceremony; Independently  you have decided and announced  people of country you have taken last priority to inform to me why you did not ask before decide this big occasion”? The king said that “ Kaikeyi do not argue any thing more already when I entered here I saw lots of inauspicious signs so listen tome.” She did not listen in fact she was not in mood to listen so goes on the argument become strengthen at last he agreed to give those old boons then very happily she told the nature of boons. The first boon is Rama should exile for 14 years and the second boon is her son Bharatha should crown as monarch of the country on same time and same day. The mighty warrior, majestic personality of Monarch Dasaradha hearing this words he fainted, she was waited for he to awake soon he come around a little normal nature again he asked her if she has changed her mind but stubbornly  stood on her words and Dasaradha reluctantly granted the boons with lots curses and he again went in unconscious state. Soon she gain her boon sent message to Rama and he came to Kaikeyi and she told about her boon and told him to leave soon from the country to forest.

We should not think if Bharatha crowned as a king he also has to face the critical period.? Kaikeyi is Bharatha's own mother she new about his nature if all other brothers are affectionate to Rama but Bharadha is devotee of Rama.

After sending his son into exile, a grief-stricken Dasaratha died of a broken heart six days after Rama left Ayodya. She came to blame herself for this death. Furthermore, Bharata swore never to ascend the throne as it was his older brother's birth right. He further blamed her for his father's death and is said never to have addressed her as "mother" again. But later due to Rama's influence, he forgave his mother .. and her maid "Manthra".

if one with fear, or desire, identification of the truth and ones acts of good nature will not realize clearly . The King Aswapathi Kaikeyi's father did not even think about her only daughter, but his life was very much needed so Kaikeyi brought up without motherly affection, the second part was her married life . Her husband knew about her nature and he lived so long years with her but his exerted mind stopped his thinking power However she did not think about her own life but she protected the Ragu dynasty.. Her life was a sparkling mist.

The mist on the leaf shines like multi colored stars in the morning sun rays. But in the due courses will evaporate.

The Ramayanam epic is very precious chest and the best  teacher to mankind.

A sign on God's grace

Once there was a debatable program held in the earth (Boologam) and Sri Naradha was a judge to the program. There was a heavy crowd and first Naradha gave the introduction of the theme and he explained. “I bless you all you audience and I explain the theme of discussion going to holding here.

Vaivasvata Manu, whose original name was Satyavratan, is the 7th Manu and considered the first king to rule the earth, The queen's name is Barhismati.

They had 10 sons 3 children died during their childhood the remaining 7 were crowned as kings of 7 islands, one of them is called Uttanapadhan he has two queens the first queen's name is Suneethi another queen’s name is Sruchi. They each have a son names the first son is Duruvan and the second is called Uttaman. One day that king was sitting on his Royal seat with his second wife Sruchi keeping Uttaman on his lap.  Seeing, this Duruvan running to his father and tried to sit on his father's lap but his second wife who under being jealous natures she pushes Duruvan and said “O child, if you want to sit on Uthaman father's lap, for that. either you should be born from my womb, or you have to perform penance. go away” telling this she pushed him. The unfortunate child ran to his mother Suneethi and told her the whole story. Suneethi told Duruvan that “O my child you don’t worry about all these happened, all these are because of our bad time yes, your stepmother's word is true my child you go to forest and do penance. As his mother's word he proceeds go to a forest to do penance and on his way to forest fortunately he met Naradha and Narada heard his sad news from him.  As soon he heard his sad story, compassionately who initiated the Vasudeva mantram to Duruva and also, he showed the way to the forest. Duruva pay his solutions to Naradha and followed the route and he reached to forest and he sat on a under a tree and become to start his penance. After a long year his penance Duruva got answer Narayana appeared in front of him, and he asked Duruva “O My Child I am very Happy for your devotion, what you the boon you wish from you? Duruva paid his solutions to God said "O god I don't want to go back to the country, I wish to get salvation to me and my mother “That is my wish. As soon heard his wish Narayana said to him “child I gave you the boon as your wish, however not at present, now you go to your country, and in appropriate age you will be crowned as an emperor and you rule the country at last in right time you will attain your salvation and shine as a star in the sky. God said to Duruvan disappeared from his sight. After finished his explanation of the topic of the program, Naradha announced the name of topic that is offence deed and pious deed. The debaters are very famous highly well-qualified. This program is for an hour kindly be seated and listen the arguments.” The argument was gone on for an hour with so many faults and good about Uthanapathan here have given the final part.

Offence deed I. “It is said the "Vaivasvata Manu" is one of the most important beings at the highest levels of initiation of the masters of the ancient wisdom, along with Maitreyar, and the MahaChohan. According to System of rules, each root race has its own Manu which physically incarnates in an advanced body of an individual of the old root race and physically originated the first individuals the root race. Manava grahasya sutra, Manava Silpa sastras and Manava Darmasastra (Manusmiruthi the rules) the theory of evolutionary works by on the law laid down for the most important and earliest metrical works of the Darmasastra textual tradition of Hinduism. If the king just kept quite that as the queen's word is right. Then what is respect of his ancestor’s rules? hence Uthanapathan is not a faithfully righteous man. Legally Duruvan is his own child and he has all right to have to be a king so, Duruva should be crowned as a king”.

Pious deed 2. He begins his argument. “Some action, if a strange man see according to his opinion on Uthanapadhan's act would be a wrong but I will not agree “ There are various other attributes have two kinds, likings or hating. Not because of he loves second son that's why so he kept quiet. One cannot conclude that he is leading unrighteous way of life. He is not jealousy, he is a very truthful man, and he was not selfish. So, if he remained silent without saying anything which means there must be some real reasons behind it. All actions are performed by the Almighty of God, the ordinary human being is merely an instrument. If one does not have this realization, implying of his own ignorance will doom him into shackles of worldly bonds. Hence one cannot decide Uthanapathan is a slave to his second wife or he does not like Duruva. My conclusion part is Uthanapathan is pious person.

Once for all finished their argument now the judgement time and Naradha begins to announce his judgement.

All the people who were being listened the both of the pundits view of opinion’s; the things differ from another. but if you think deeply its reason and the truth will come to know. Uthanapathan has not hated nature, he loves all. He is the obvious influence of previous Dharma sutras and Arthasahatras, in particular, the Manu smriti. He is the first adopter the term of vyavaharapadas. He has shown in ruling the kingdom, particularly of the eighteen "Titles of Law" the Grounds for Litigation. Uthanapathan is the role model to the world. He is a prime example and never lose any of his ancestor’s patron of law. Now I come to Duruvans history, Utthanaptha did not take Duruva and made him to sit on his lap. This is not a major crime. He knew his second wife Sruthi’s jealousy nature of mind she was not right but sometime the devils also will tell positively specify words, as she told the positive words that do penance that was the positive action to Duruva. He might be thought that Duruva has to learn to live from his childhood, perhaps if he opposes Sruchi and alow Duruva to sit on his lap what will happen? Duruvan may feel happy then what will happen?  in the same way she will oppose for no reason, is that good to his feature life? so, that was the reason why he kept quiet. otherwise, how will Duruvan get Sakshat Sri Vishnu's bestows (anugrham) and crowned as an emperor of the country and at the end he will shine in the sky as a star? ('Nakshatra Padhavi')

If one wish to achieve something in his life he has to have strong determination, encouragement, presence of mind, ability, physically, mentally, legally, morally, one needs skilled training, and devotion from the childhood. One should certainly need Almighty of god's grace; this is what Duruvan got. Thus, Ultramarathon’s silent mode enlighten to Duruvans life. Heard Naratha’s judgement all the crowd very happily and heavily applauded, and gone to their places and Naradha too took leave from them.

 

The cradle of spirituality

Hinduism is rightly called a Dharma that was evolved by the great Rishis (sages and hermits) of ancient India. It emphasizes the Dharma right way of living rather than a set of doctrines, and thus embraces diverse thoughts and practices. Hinduism has been called the "cradle of spirituality" and It is not a religion just a way of living in all aspects of life including family, social life, sciences, politics, business, art, and health behaviours. The sacred scriptures Vedas, epics, sastras, contain instructions on these aspects of life and have a strong influence on art and drama..... family life is also considered a sacred duty.

Hinduism commonly references the Bhagavad Gita is comprised of 700 verses from the epic Mahabharatram. Sri Rama and Sri Krishna incarnation is the important in the past 9 incarnations. Sri Krishna avathar is the full on the earth to fulfil two purposes  First to inspire and secondly to liberate. He inspires mankind through examples. He willingly takes upon himself all human limitations. Then through intense spiritual practice he goes beyond them and manifests his spiritual perfection. He goes through various spiritual disciplines and thereby manifests his perfection to set an example for mankind, just as a hen which even when not hungry picks and gobbles up birdseed just to teach its young ones how to eat; alike  Sri Krishna Incarnation for sake of mankind, goes through various duties quality in order to teach us how to attain perfection through spiritual practice through Bhakthi …. The aim of the Gita propounded in the incarnation of Lord Krishna is not so much to teach a theory as to enforce practice of dharma. We cannot separate in theory what is not separable in life. The duties of civic and social life provide religion with its tasks and opportunities.

The Gita explains the nature to increase one's awareness , the self, and the universe. It is the essence of spiritual and it is a marvel of practical wisdom.

It is Upanishad of Upanishats. It is a digest of the Upanishads, Gita is all essence of the Vedas hence it is very difficult to perceive the inner meanings.... Though t he way its concentration of teachings, to gain practical experience of the eternal truth, of bliss.

Sri Adi Sankarar emphasized in his Sankarabhasyam about Gita He says in his book that “The Bhavat Gila is symbolic of what transpires in every day of life. If one have a courage wavered of the mind gita will be a light to him 

Sri Krishna is the teacher par excellence (Jagat Guru) who teaching us the value of the life.

The Bhavat Gita is like the very big mighty ocean. Lots of people approach in this ocean for eternal bliss . Some might be collected see weeds, some sand particles yet some dive deep into it and retrieve precious pearls. Strictly speaking The Bhavat Gita is absolute duty of detachment (undesired karma) devotion ( bakthi) and (saranagathi) total surrender.

Sri Krishna says in Bahavat gita,..

When one abides in truthfulness,activity and it's fruition are grounded in the truth. When thought ceases checked by the exercise of discipline, he is content within the self, seeing the self Through himself.

Bahavat Gita will help us to learn to regulate our senses,righteousness, control our mind and gain spiritual strength. The Gita verses fresh an insight, and composed more than 5,000 years ago, still it is very much relevant to the modern life. People should Spend a few minutes daily read, they feel reflection of its message. One can experience its positive transformation. It is true. The Modern world people are busy they have no time. However somehow manage some time for this also, Then only our younger generation will learn and follow.

Gita is a tourch of ones life.

“Yatra yogeswaraha krishna yatra partho dhanurdaraha |

dhatra sri vijayo bhodirtruva needhir mama”||

Meaning: Wherever head of the yoga's Sri krishna and Archer Arjuna

is there in those places will be prosperously righteousness justice are for sure this is my conclusion of opinion .

We too pray to Nara Narayana (Sri Krishna Arjuna ) and get our eternal bliss.

Arrogance Nature Destroy The Wisdom

God does not make one to suffer for no reason , and also he will not make one to be happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives exactly what one deserves.

All deeds one s action is called karma.. Karma is not a punishment or evil . It is a result of one's natural act... (Karma means "deed" or "act") according to the modern universal principle of Cause and Effect. Action and Reaction,.. That to have predominant influence in all life. The effects will be known in one's later life and also able to learn a good lesson .

The Same principal Mahabharatram picturized to us to learn morels and ethics through the characters.... The story of Karnan cannot begin or end without Kunthii, she is the central character and also She was Karnan’s biological mother...

Ancient mythology said about Kunthi a symbol of the Earth... (the process of vegetating.) In Sanskrit, 'kum-ti' means the Earth. Kunthi's other name is' Pritha', meaning prithvi or the Earth. Life originated on this planet earth through the rays of the Sun, that is, vegetation, Karna, literally, means grain with chaff.(a grain with its husk ) Thus, he represents seed, the essence of kingdom's plant. But a seed cannot sprout without water. So, to hide her illegitimate child,(born of parents who were unmarried) Kunthi placed him in a box and floated the box in the waters of the river Aswathi. Karnan born with a golden protective armor and earrings in the Sanskrit words, Kavacham and Kundalam

A charioteer brought him up. Karnan was a great warrior and could match Arjuna in archery. But his life went very miserable and  wasted  by supporting evil force nature  of Duryodhana..

Duryodhana needs some one to fight with Arjuna so he bought a soul named Karnan for his purpose and made him as a king of Angadesam. Otherwise Karnan can not participate along with princes for the competition, so he was very aggressive arrogant , accepted his offer and he showed all his ability to the royal audience. Other word is..that Karnan sold his soul to Duryodhana forever.... . His wisdom was lost in friendship of Duryodhana and like others he was also thinking of ways to show Pandeva's in bad light..

Once he became as evil and joined with a big evil force he has to faced too many problems and struggled a lot...

The first part:

Indiran came as Braman and begged for his Kavacham and Kundalam to save his son Arjuna.. The sun god gave warning still he could not refuse so he cut them and gave it to him. ..

Indiran, was filled with surprise and joy. After accepting the gift, he praised Karna as having done what no one else would do, and, shamed into generosity, Greeting and prizing him and also he told Karnan that he can ask for any boon as he wished....

Karnan replied: "I desire to get your weapon, the Sakthi, which has the power to kill enemies." Indiran granted the boon, with a fateful condition that . He said: "You can use this weapon against one enemy, it will kill him whosoever he may be. After that , this weapon will no longer be available to you it will return to me." With these words Indiran disappeared. (He lost his protection)

The second Part :

According to Duryodhana's wish and Sakunis advise he went as a brahman. to Parasurama and told lies to learn Brahmastram...He was learning all the acts of delivery of weapons in a fast manner.. His style of act and learning capacities Parasurama surprised and suspected,, however he taught the expected brahmasra . Unexpected fatal day appeared in front of him, his Guru wished to recline his head on Karna's lap and he slept .. when a stinging worm drilled into Karna's thigh. terrible bleeding and began to flow and the pain was intolerable But Karna bore it without tremor and without disturbing his gurus sleep but his bad time Parasurama felt wetness to his arm and he awoke and saw the blood was oozing from the wound.

He said: "who are you..? you are not a brahman , A kshatriya alone can tolerate this kind of bleeding and unmoved bodily torments. Tell me the truth."

He could not deny the truth so he told the truth, the, punishment of the lie Parasurama angrily cursed him that "Since you deceived your guru, for the Brahmastra .. I give curse for your dishonest act that You will forget the spell of the Brahmastra at your fatal moment.” ..Karna felt very upset and sadly he returned back to the kingdom. That effort got fail .. (he became untrustworthy and earned curse)

The Third Part :

According to Sri Krishna's advise Kundhi went to Karna when he usually praying the place and she was waiting till his prayer is over. Once Karna finished his prayer he saw surprisingly Pandava's mother was waiting for him.. He humbly received her and enquired the reason of her visit. Kundhi explained all full tale of his birth and she said to him that “I am your mother you are not Radheyen you are kundeyan” ..”Shedding tears from his eyes and he said now is too late .I can not go with you and console your self, either with Arjuna you have five sons or with me five sons be satisfied with this” so to make sure she asked him for two kind of boons, first as he told should not kill all four sons other than arjuna , and second is he should not use Nagasthram more then one time on Arjuna Karnan laughed and said “Royal blood your presence of mind and motherly affection to protect your children”..Alright whatever happen that will be true” he granted the two boons to Kundhi and he also asked two boons from her that one is she should not tell anyone that he is her son till this war is over, second is perhaps he died in this war she has to keep his head on her lap as proclamation she should make know that he is her own son... very sadly she granted and went off..(he became pitiable)

The fourth part :

When he was practicing the shooting the arrow to the point.. by mistake it went and killed a cow of a brahmin family. That was their livelihood, that man got upset hence with his grief he cursed him that during the war time his chariots wheel be buried into mud.

Because of his arrogance nature and show that his goodwill to Duryodhana he earned another curse (Here he has committed two kind of sins one is Gohathi another is his bad Karma.)

The fifth part:

His charioteer Salyan with his overbearing pride he ditched karnan when he needed barely help to pull out the wheel of the chariot His uncooperative nature just he went off.. Helpless Karnan was struggling to pull the wheel. Out ,.At the time Krishna's advice .Arjuna shot his arrows on unarmed Karnan... Karnan reminded Arjuna of righteousness. At that time Lord Krishna reminded Karnan of all his evil deeds done by him. Karnan had no answer to that. He could only bow down his head in shame. Karnan died a death of shame and defeat... A great warrior lost his wisdom because he supported an evil force.....

Nothing is free in this world. If some thing find as free for sure there will be some kind of hidden catch. Many can think that he was being head of Dharmam. all happened bad to him... I wish to correct he was giving dhanam (Offerings )not Dharmam ..here is a differences between Dhanam and Dharmam.. Dharmam is act of pious deed.. But dhanam is offerings....

From this story of Mahabhratham teaches avoid Arrogantly crossing the own limits other wise have to face lots of difficulties. Sage Veda Vyasa munis message to the world...

Sri Bhagavat gita told in twice. First as the characteristic manner like story telling and second time as poems in the war field...!!

Some philosophical aspects of Ramayanam

Sita Lakshmana Baradha Chatrukana Hanumat Sametha 

Sri Ramachandraya Namaha.

A pandit was giving lecture about the moral truth in front of his Audience, comparing with Ramayanam. When he was discoursing about Ramayanam there was a man raised his hand and wished to ask a question to the Pandit. Noticed this he agreed to ask question to that man...
“Swamy Pranams...Sri Rama is considered as a god, to kill a demon no need to struggle that much, he could kill them directly from where he is. Apart from this sending a pregnant lady to the forest because of a lay man's word where is Dharmam in Ramayanam story?
The Pandit accepted about his question and begins to answer and explain that Gentle man's question.
"Gentleman you asked in one word and two kind of questions, so I explain the both of your questions separately. Good thought and good questions. He begins to explain about his questions.
“Ramayanam is one of the richest elements of the Culture, enriches and makes it a unique one in the world. Very interesting and intelligible aspects meant to convey rules and maximum guide of daily life to a mankind and powerful messages to the younger generation. The result of the natural evolution and its stories have gone in the process of being down from centuries. Ramayanam is in philosophically a logical epic of right: family, civil society, status, the highest moment in the development of absolute devotion.
The Ramayanam talks about life of Rama, who lived his entire life by the rules of dharma. When Rama was young, he shows his obedience to wards his teachers, (Guru) he was the perfect son, an ideal husband, and a responsible ruler. However, I come to his first question why Rama didn't kill the demon directly without struggles. Here is the brief answer.

There were demon's trouble intolerably cruelly gave to all sages, hermits, saints all people and gods. because of their problems all sages went to Vaikuntam to meet Lord Mahavishnu to pray and solve their problems. When sages try to enter in to sanctum, the twarapalagar called Jaya Vijay stopped them. Sages were so upset because of their bad behavior, they got very angry and cursed them to have birth as demon. Yogamayasakthi made them to get curse like that. Jaya Vijaya went in with all sages, and sages did prayer to Sri Vishnu and talked about their problems. Lord Vishnu said to the sages that “do not worry and I will take necessary actions in right time”. Happily, all sages went. Jaya Vijaya realized their mistake and prayed Vishnu to revive the curse. The Lord said that, he cannot revive sages, hermits, saints, and Guru's, courses but I can give suggestions that either as my enemy in 3 births or you can come back in 7 births as my devotee. They were very reluctant for 7 births so They agreed as three births so they born as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasibu as their first birth and they took their second birth as Ravana and Kumbhakarna.  Ravana was Siva's devotee. He put his nerves as Veena's string and sung samaganam, (normally people will say "Rakshasa pooja" as the same he worshipped Lord Siva) instead of Lord Siva Brahma appeared in front of him and advised to ask the boon as his wish. Happily, he asked boon that he should never die, and live for ever and ever.!  Lord Brahma said that apart from this boon ask some other thing. He thought for some time and asked the boon that he should not have death either by gods, demons and animals and so on, but he had not ask about a human being.  He forgot to ask. Lord Brahma granted the boon as he wished and disappeared. Ravana became as Ravaneswara and he became very stronger than before, he conquered all the demons’ kingdoms and he setup as all-in-one demon kingdom. As Mareecha Subagu like head demons became Ravana's slaves.  In the meantime Lord Vishnu told  Indira before he takes his embodiment in earth,  send an Apserass to Kekaya as a well-wisher to princess Kaikeyi. So, Indira sent an apserass to Kekaya as princess Kaikeyi's stepmother and well-wisher named Mandara and she instructed that should be a character of being Partial and dislike the first Dhasarata's child.  Lord Vishnu incarnated to King Dasaradha as his first son, Adhishesha and Shankam as the king’s twin sons and his Chakkaram incarnated as second child. His Majesty Dhasaradha gave names, first son is Raman the second son is Bharadha and 3rd and 4th Lakshmana and Chatrukna. Sri MahaLakshmi incarnated from the earth in Mithila as Janaka Maharishi's daughter and named Sita. The Lord's Padmam born as Ravana's Brother named Vebeeshana. Lords Gadha born as son of Vayu named Hanuman. So, all incarnated to “Dushta Samharam and Sishta Paripalanam. (Which means annihilations of evil forces and Protection of the universe) All Sages, Hermits, saints, devas felt very happy to see through their spiritual vision that the Lord incarnated in Ayodhi and all their problems will be set right soon. All trees’ and plants bloomed with colorful flowers, the rain showered tenderly, blew gentle and cool breeze with nice smell, all the greenish grosses rhythmically nodded their head, The thunder lighting played like drums, all birds sung melodiously, Age old Monarch Dasarada was walking to royal assembly hall  happily like a young man, People in Ayodhi were very happy. These all are essence of Ramayanam and we all know very well. Now the reply of why God struggled to kill a demon. The Pandit continued and said: he killed not only one demon; he annihilated a huge evil force.

I explain briefly as per my knowledge, the beautiful strategy, about divine’s annihilation of the evil force by step by step.

First step he made his own people as Ravana and Kumbakarna and many demons kingdom made as one. (Made for easy operation) The second step: was he put a person as informer Vebeeshana born as Ravana's own brother (to know the depth of strength) The third step all the devagana's born as monkeys and bears in between the place called Kiskinda. The Head Vali, Sugriva, Hanuman, Jambavan, and so on disguise in appearance of animals and monkeys. If anything passes that way so to get some evidences and also no one can find because they are animals.      The fourth step:

When Sage Viswamitra was doing his deep penance. when all other co working sages where worried about the safeguard of the penance. At that time Sage Visvamitra saw in his spiritual vision that Sakshat Sri Vishnu incarnated as Rama” Very happily opened his eyes and told this to all sages that he will bring Rama for their proposed Mahayagam. As he said he brought Rama and Lakshmana, to protect for their Mahayagam, On the way to Rama destroyed Thataki, then they destroyed during the yagam Subagu and a group of demons. The Mahayagam is been saved.  The fifth step:  Mandara's advice to Kaikeyi’s promises gave a way to Rama, Lakshmana and Sita go to the forest and stayed a place called Panchavadi That was Ravana's area. Because of Soorpanaga assaulted by Lakshmana, Ravana's angry motion of the scheme and arrangement and cruel motivation took to the huge destruction of the whole demon kingdom. That he sent Mareecha as a golden deer cub to he kidnap Sita. When the golden deer was playing near the hermitage Sita found that he was a demon. Rama too knew. She thought if miss the chance perhaps have to waiting for more years, so Sita humbly asked Rama, that she wanted the golden deer cub, and Rama chased to catch the deer cub, and it went too far from their hermitage and with no other choice, he shot an arrow at it. At the moment of its death turned into a demon as his original form, changed his voice like Rama and shouted out in a loud voice, "O Lakshmana, save me" As soon Sita hears his words, she got worried and sent Lakshmana to save Rama. As soon he saw that demon and thought that when he had been in Sidhasramam to protect the yagam he escaped from my arrows but now he was caught.

Sita is Sakshat Mahalakshmi she herself is a golden treasure trove, why does she need this monstrous fawn? because they incarnated as human beings so acted as such. Ok I come to the story.

During this time Ravana came as a sage to their hermitage asking something to eat. Sita was in worried mind, so she did not notice the fake sage. she was looking forward for Rama and Lakshmana arrival. He again asked food little loud voice. Sita noticed him and she went in to bring some fruits offer to him, and when she was to give those fruits to him but that Lakshmana's safety line stopped her. she went back. He arose very angry yet suppress his anger and he inquired about the details as if he knew nothing. She raised her head and told him why they have come to the place and about her worry regarding her husband and his younger brother and why delayed arrival with great pain. Angrily he laughed at her and said: "Sita I am Lankapuri king Ravaneswara I have come to take you to my country". as soon she heard his words very angrily saw him and then she ran into the hermitage. He was shouting and was calling her. she did not come out, and he cut up the earth include with Sita, and then he took with Sita the cut in to a piece of the earth and flown away. Rama and Lakshmana came to their hermitage and they found that Sita was not in their hermitage. Very worriedly Rama was searching everywhere in that forest, but Sita was not found anywhere. Without food they wandered somewhere in search of Sita.

In this part I would wish to write a small and very interesting incidence in Ramayanam.

When Rama was looking Sita through the places thoroughly, he happened to hear a faint voice that calling his name Rama, and he went through the direction of the voice, and there he found Jatayu was calling him in the state of death. Rama could see the marks of Jatayu last great fight all around. Unarmed he had opposed the Rakshasa who had all his weapons and his protection and magnificence of his pride at the cost of his own life. Tears flowed from Rama's eyes as he listened to Jatayu's tale. He flung aside his bow, and embraced the bird. The prince's sorrow knew no bounds. He lamented loudly, rolling on the ground and dust all over the body, with tears from his eyes.  The divine awesome actions are endless.  they have suffered with grieve like mortals.  Rama was sad that Sita was not with him when he was performing the last rites of Jatayu (wife's presence is a must when husband performs funeral rites.) Amazingly Site's shadow stood by his side Rama. Now Sri Rama was thinking and consoled himself, that he was unable to perform his last right ceremony to his father Dasaradha, yet he got peace of mind thinking that it was done for Jatayu.  Pramanatwam of this incidence (it is said Jatayu's battle with Ravana is most important than the battles in Lanka.)  Sri Rama performed Jatayu's funeral ceremony in place is called Thirupullam Boothamkudi, Sri Rama gave Jatayu liberation here with a place in the heaven. There is a belief that Sita is standing on the golden lotus in the middle of the temple tank in this temple. Thiru means 'great” Pul means 'bird' bootham is 'soul' and kudi is “place”. That is why this place is called Thirupullam boothamkudi.

This place is 30 miles from Kumbakonam. From Chennai approx. 300 miles. The Pandit said: "ok I come the final story"     Final step is war:

After killed Ravana's sons and their troops and Kumbakarna troops. Vebeshana surrendered himself and went and joined with Rama. At last Ravana came to war field and he saw the beauty of arrayed of with the all-animal soldiers.  Rama and Lakshman, was   standing on the war car only people, Vebeeshana also standing along with them. He saw Rama at a minute of glance, he stunned to see his handsome aspects. The strait shoulders, million sun's brightness of his face's beauty, he stood in awe of his long beautiful arms up to his knees.  Then he thought “this is why Sita did not like me and always thinking about him Rama”. When Ravana was thinking Rama called him and said “Ravana, you surrender to me, and hand over Sita, if you not handover Sita to me I will kill you". Ravana did not agree surrender to Rama so, Rama Ravana war started and Rama made him unarmed and given a chance to think and asked him to come next day.  Ravana went to his palace and sit near God and thought loudly “I won the eight directions; I brought all devas and other people including Navagraha's all under my control.  A normal human being prince annihilated all my kingdom, my own people, friends, my brothers, and sons, all my family except me. Besides I ever seen the earth, and never ever bowed down my head but today I saw the earth however, I feel proud that I fought with a great warrior.” I don't care about tomorrow. As long as the story of Rama exists, so will my story, after swearing that the next day he went to battle field started to fight with Rama. after for some time Vebeeshana advised Rama that to shoot the arrow to in between stomach and chest accordingly Sri Rama executed the arrow on him and killed Ravana.

“Gentlemen any emperor in their life time only two people alone with the animal soldiers destroyed a huge evil force? Did happen in any were this world? Ever heard.? That is the pride of Sri Vishnu's incarnation as Sri Rama. From the beginning Sri Rama did not show any miracle. This was a specialty of this Avatar it showed and advises to the people that whatever problem occurs in the life, should not be panic, instead be brave and good, wise, and follow the rules regulations. With this I explained that God's evil destruction and its rules.

 Now I come to that gentleman's second question: What justification was there for sending a pregnant woman to the forest for someone's word? Where is Dharma in this? The answer is when Rama sent Sita to the forest again not because of an anonymous talk about Sita.  Once Sita was very intolerably grief, Rama saw and he asked Sita the reason of her distress. Sita said to Rama:  that “when we had aaranya vasam Ravana came to kidnap me, I understood that was the demon not a sage at that time I went in to yogagni and was staying with Agni Bhagavans place. Maya Sita went with him. I was safe without any difficulties but at that time nearly 10 months to a year Maya suffered and faced lot of difficulties, how much she struggled with that demon for me and how much she ill-treated by the demoness, poor Maya went to the end of the limit, she could not tolerate the awkwardly difficulties, and so that she tried to commit suicide, after Ravana vadam in that agni parikshai I my self-materialized out. That incident was for people of universe, and the world, in my mind that was not fair, and I will have nice life on other's plight, that was not wise, and I am not happy, I am feeling like my heart breaks and I can't take it anymore I pray humbly and requesting you that I wish myself to go to the forest once again. Satyam, Dharmam not only for the men those are applicable for ladies too. as soon hear the message from Sita, Rama was thinking about that, at that time co incidentally his minister told the tale of washer man about Sita, and Rama accepted Sita's request and sent her to the forest once again. O gentle man because of this reason Sita sent to the forest once again. 

The pandit finished the lecture and said "Janaki Kantha Smaranam," all audience replied "Jai Jai Ram Ram. "

Arrogance will never be glorified

Once there was a knowledgeable pandit who was giving philosophical lecture about Sri Bhagavat gita in his neighbouring kingdom in front of the Monarch...

The Pundit won plenty of distinctions from many kingdoms and was honoured for his power of speaking and his literacy of research and had immense of titles. Hence the particular kingdoms monarch invited him to give a lecture of Bhagavat Gita.

He was engaged to give a lecture for one week. Four days are over the fifth day he has to analysis of the particular hymn and give the meaning.

The pandit begins the hymn and started to give explanation enthusiastically watching the king... (because if the King  shake his head that he be sure for his bumper prize,) so he explained the slokam impressively.. the king instead of shaking his head he said that the meaning is wrong. The first time pandits face begins sweating.. sadly flash a smile at the king and told sorry again he told changing the words and explained but, that was also wrong ..and many way he tried and failed.. the entire courtiers opposed about his wrong meaning of the hymn. The king was very angry and sent him home and ordered him to find the accurate answer..and asked him to come next day...

The pandit was returning home unhappily . on the way home he was thinking about his honers, and his ability, and the power of literacy, and his knowledge...every thing has gone he felt loudly to cry.

At last he reached home and sadly went to bed and lay down. Seeing this his wife asked him the reason why he is very sadly returned home...? he was insulted than happened in the kingdom that she asked question about literature, he thought him self about her “ what does she knows except cooking in the kitchen and than eating”..thinking meanly about her... and reluctantly  he told her the entire story happened in the kingdom...

The wife was thinking for some time and asked her husband to repeat the meaning what he told and which place of the hymn..

The Pandit flash a smile mockingly at her and reluctantly told the meaning that how he explained in the kingdom ...

Thinking a long time his wife told him that “yes the king is absolutely right'.. The explanation you gave to the hymn was incorrect, in this kind of wrong meaning how the king approved..? inaccurate and fancy mare truths furnishing to king won't work...The pandit became very mad with his wife and asked her that..what does mean about those words that you spelled to me..? I am not illiterate, That king may have money and you have big mouth but no brain”...! His wife kept quite for some time and told him “ see anger cannot make wrong to right.. repeat the hymn once again think with calm mind you will arrive the correct answer”..The pandit repeated the same hymn loudly word by word but he was struggling to land to the correct answer... his wife saw his struggle and she felt pity on him and said “My respected husband I tell you the accurate meaning if you think is right then you go to kingdom tomorrow and give a speech..listen “Sri Krishna said very clearly in those verses “If one always think and worship him(Lord Sri Krishna) and total surrender to Sri Krishna he will full fill all his salvation”..

Also she explained the inner meaning that “Yogam..Means if one get things unexpectedly..that is called Yogam (Luck) Kshemam means one already having things keep safely”..is called kshemam (cautious) this is what the following hymn's meaning

Anayachinthayato mam...ye jana paryupasate

tesam nityabiyukthanam...yogakshemam vahamyagam

The pandit heard his wife's explanation he stunned... he felt ashamed to see her  and quietly went to his bed..

Arrogant man learnt a good lesson
