Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha!
Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigalesaranam!


For Va:lmiki’s question, ‘if Bhagavan had
descended to this world as a human being’,
the sage Na:rada gives a perfect answer,
that this is SriRama.

Bhagavan’s main quality is also
‘jithakro:dhathvam’.

However grave may be one’s mistake, God
neither detests nor punishes him. He keeps
on doing ‘srishti’, giving suitable bodies
to the bodies, providing a scope to follow
‘dharma’ and giving an opportunity to get
rid of the bondage of ‘karma’ through
practice. All the souls that continue to
ignore His efforts and neglect the
‘sasthra:s’, which are His directives,
and the ones which develop a vengeful
attitude towards His devotees and become a
source of trouble to the world and the
society will be punished by Him. This He
does by inviting anger.

That’s why He says in Bhagavad Gita :

“name: dveshyo:sthina priyaha”

“one who ever comes to me seeking refuge,
whether had been hating me or has been
loving me, if he had the intention of
‘surrender’ he will be protected by me."

He also said,
“kshipa:mi ajasram asubha:n
a:suri:shve:dhayo:nishu”

“I will throw them into mean and devilish
natured (asura bha:va) births."

This is Bhagava:n’s nature. This had been
shown by SriRamachandra to people through
His practice.


To be continued ...


Jai Srimannarayana!
