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 Rama’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. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@yahoogroups.com Group Home: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bhakti-list Archives: http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/ Your use of Yahoo!
