Srimathe: Ramanujaya Namaha!
Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!


SriRama is ‘niyatha:thma’.

He has a steady nature and this is never disturbed
by any circumstances. This is the attribute of‘paramathma’.

Sruthi says,

“na:sya jaraya:ae:tha jjeeryathe:”
‘apahatha pa:pma:vijaraha’

The ‘a:thma' in this body has also the same
qualities. But because of its connection to the
body it feels whatever changes that occur to the
body happen to itself only. One should come out of
that thinking. To teach this aspect ,Bhagavan had
taken incarnation as SriRama.

Rama is the greatest warrior. His capacities are
unimaginable and various. Paramathma is such. He
came as Rama and proved that any person can achieve
this strength if he gets rid of his ‘ajna:na’.

SriRama is ‘dyuthima:n’ (radiance) meaning
‘jna:naswaru:pa’. This is common for Bhagavan and
for (us)souls too. To be able to exhibit this guna is the
effectiveness of human life and the goal too.
Where there is radiance there won't be ‘thamas’ ie.
‘ajna:na’. There will be no DARKNESS.
Even those who have this tha:masik nature will get
rid of this in RamaÂ’s presensce. They become
sa:thwiks . The human beings should be able to
eliminate the wicked and violent nature with the
effect of their presence.

SriRama is ‘dhruthima:n’.
Dhruthi means ‘a:nanda’. Bhagavan is the ‘a:nanda
swaru:pa’. He possesses ‘a:nanda’. One should be
like that.
Due to the ‘karma bandha’ (bondage of karma) one
keeps grieving that some things are not favourable
to him. But in this world nothing is antagonistic.
Parama:thma feels that every thing belongs to Him
and there is nothing that is unfavourable to Him.
He is the One who has everything under His control
and He commands,determines and dictates. He is
the ‘Swa:mi’ for every thing. To show that the
human beings should also be like this He lived the
life of a human being. He is the ‘parathathva’.
Still to be easily accessible to all He came as a
‘nara’. He is the ‘buddhima:n’. He is the ‘neethima:n’.
These are relevant for us (jeeva:s) also. Buddhima:n
means one who can know anything or every thing
wholly and individually and is a ‘sarvajna’. So He
can do ‘srishti’. Though He knows the whole lot,
while executing the plan (during the process) He
always follows some code.

‘Sruthi’ says about Him:

‘dha:tha: yadha: pu:rva makalpayath’
‘aesha se:thu rvidharanaha’

He does srishti like it was earlier.

To be continued......
Jai Srimannarayana!!

Ramanujamma Mudumbai,
Ramanujadasi.
