Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha!
Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!

Dyuthima:n ->

Va:lmiki while mentioning the qualities,
asked Narada “Who is the ‘dyuthima:n”?
meaning ‘Who has radiance?’

One has to possess natural radiance. One
has to be attractive at once. In his presence
the 'thamas,’ nature has to vanish. ‘Dyuthi’
means light. Where there is light there wonÂ’t
be darkness. It should be present in oneÂ’s
appearance and nature. When such a person is
seen , a feeling of liking (preethi) should
come out automatically and the violent nature
should diminish.

Tha:ra, Va:liÂ’s wife, came to SriRama with
anger and emotion to accuse him for killing
her husband But as she looked at him,
“sa:ntham sama:sa:dya visuddha saththva:”,

‘the ‘tha:mas’ nature in her diminished and
the ‘sathvam’ in her rose up.

The lady who came to accuse SriRamachandra
forgot her initial intensions and started
showering praise. This capability in a person
is not achievable with just the exterior glow.
The sa:thwik nature should shine from oneÂ’s
within. This enables to perceive ‘jna:na’ and
leads to a clear analysis and imparts a
favourable attitude towards all. There wonÂ’t be
any averse feeling towards any. They will be
able to influence others with their stength.
That was the reason why the cattle, the birds,
the wild animals, the illiterate, the rishis, the
ra:kshasas and even the va:naras felt extremely
happy in SriRamachandraÂ’s divine presence.

(Sri Sri Sri Chinna Jeeayar Swamiji always says
when we love all beings the love we receive back
is so many times multiplied !!)

Bhagavan who is para has original radiance that
is natural to Him and this glows like His natural
‘jna:na’. Hence Bhagavan is called,
‘the:jasswaru:pa’. He is the One who is providing
the light to the Sun and the Moon to illuminate
the world. He possesses the ‘jna:na ru:pa the:jas’
and also the ‘a:nanda’ and He is the ‘para:thpara’
who awards these to all the ‘jeevas’. This is the
reason for calling Bhagavan as ‘Paramjyo:thihi
Swaru:paÂ’.

To be continued...

Jaisrimannarayana!
