Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha!!

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!!


Parama:thma does srishti like it was earlier.
He is the One who keeps all these ‘loka:s’, the stars
the planets and their satellites in their particular
orbits and sees that they donÂ’t collide with each
other.
‘Sarvajnathvam’ is required for ‘srishti’. To perform
this in a particular manner, one should have ‘neethi’
(ethics).These two qualities have to be cultivated by
a human being too. But there should be a system,
respect and binding to principles. Then only oneÂ’s
life would be pleasant to self and for the people
around him too.

SriRama is ‘vaagmi’ meaning his words are commendable
and valuable. Bhagavan’s ‘vakku’ is ‘vedam’. It
benefits mankind on earth. So ‘parama:thma’ is
‘va:gmi’.SriRama as a human had a ‘mangalakara vakku’
that was pleasing and auspicious.One should be a
‘va:gmi.’ It does not mean to be a great orator but
to be a man of pleasant words. The capacity to appoint
and administer is known as ‘aiswarya’(prosperity). All
the worlds (lo:ka:s) are run by Bhagavan He has them
all as His ‘vibhu:thi’. Narada is establishing the two
traits of para and nara in Rama in his answer to
Valmiki and depicting the ‘Ramathathva’ with its
inherent ‘Upanishad artha’ and an ideal life of a
human to the exterior .
Like Bhagavan one should be a ‘sreemantha’. One should
have the capacity to administer. Should also have
worldly prosperity. SriRama had an explemplary ability
to exterminate the enemies. A human being should also
develop the ability to over throw the external foes
and also over come the internal enemies like the
‘ka:ma’ and ‘kro:dha’.
He says:

‘Sreema:n sathrunibarhanaha’.

‘One who has both ‘aiswarya’ and the power to destroy
the enemies.Â’

Bhagavan is the One who has the whole ‘viswam’ as His'
and governed by Him alone. But He never tolerates if
any one tries to hamper the well being of His ‘SREE’,
the ‘viswam’ (the whole creation), or tries to obliterate
the same. He takes immediate action. In this world
whoever harms either our body or our close people will
be regarded as our enemy. For the Lord who has this
whole world(viswam) as His body ,the ones who spoil
the world peace(viswa-sa:nthi) and world welfare
(well being of this viswam) will become His foes. The
Bhagavan destroys them and reestablishes the wellbeing
of the world.(viswam). In the same manner even the
human beings should detest the ones who mar the world
peace or who damage the dharma that takes care of the
universal welfare and should be able to eliminate them.

Till here Narada had proved the ‘a:thma guna:s’ of a
human being. He had proved the ‘gunas’ of the
‘Parama:thma’ that are necessary to do ‘srushti, sthithi
and laya’. God’s ‘kalya:na guna:s’ are numerous. Such
Bhagavan had descended as a ‘nara’ to show the humanity
through practice how to behave to keep oneself amiable
and also give happiness to the society. Now he starts
describing the physical beauty of SriRamachandra.
