Rama, bhakta aBimAnI - part 3

Earlier, I wrote about how Rama is bhakta abimani in Vibishana’s episode where He felt could not fulfil the oath He had taken to crown the latter.

Another instance from Yuddha Kandam during the fight between Rama and Ravana.

1

Indra sends his charioteer Mathali much later and Raghavan does not have a chariot to match up to Ravana in terms of height. Our Hanuman expands himself to a size that is comparable to that of the opponent.

When Ravana looks at Hanuman, he gets wild as former caused havoc 2

To Lanka, so he attacked him with arrows and made Hanuman bleed.

Rama’s patience is already explained by Valmiki in the first chapter

‘KshamaiyA pritvi samaH’ - His patience equals that of earth.

He exhibited such characteristic even during this fight, but got angry when 3

Hanuman was being hit with arrows as he happens to be Rama’s ardent bhakta.

Valmiki also says

காலாக்னி ஸதர்ஷ க்ரோதே kAlaGnI saDruSa krOdE

His anger holds as much fierce as that of a forest fire.

When Hanuman got hit, Valmiki says

KrODasya vaSamE ivAn - engulfed by rage 4

As His bhakta was hit. He decimated the army of Ravana, destroyed his chariot and made him lose all the weapons.

This is another instance of how Rama is a bhakta aBimAni

Jai Sriram

Srimad Ramayanam - essence of Yuddha Kandam

Ramayanam can be analysed in multiple dimensions, such as dharma, bhakti etc, as it provides immense insights.

It also has tattvam behind the entire sequence of events and this has been explained by poorvAcAryAs.

There’s a tattvam 1

Behind Yuddha Kandam as well and two episodes reflect this.

Rama being felled by Naga pAsam and by Brahmastra.

In the first instance, Garudazhvan who was observing the fight along with other devas realised that his swami was felled and came to His rescue even without 2

Realising that it’s a stage of Lord Rama and He was performing activities required for His avatar. That was his bhakti and intense need to perform kainkaryam.

In the second instance, when Rama falls down due to brahmastram, Jambhavan asks if Hanuman was alive as he was the 3

Only one who can perform incredible activities, such as bringing medicinal plans from thousands of miles away.

In addition, in entire Ramayanam, Rama had walked in Aranya kandam until He came in contact with Hanuman, upon which Hanuman never let Him walk but carried on his 4

Shoulders all through.

Similarly, garudazhvan carries Perumal with His feet on his palms and enjoys the touch and turn his head to get a look at his beautiful countenance.

Both helped in resurrecting Rama at the time of dire need and He wanted to highlight the bhakti of two 5

Brutal truth about Aur@ngzeb!

1. He was a religious bigøt, cunning and cruel to H!ndus.

He was keen that the sh@ri@ or Isl@mic law be followed everywhere.

H!ndu religious fairs were outlawed in 1668, and an edict of the following year prohibited construction of Hindu temples as well as the repair of old ones. 

The duty (internal customs fees) paid on goods was 2.5%, double the amount was levied on H!ndu merchants from 1665 onwards

2. According to one historical source, elephants were deployed to crush the resistance in the area surrounding the Red Fort of H!ndus who refused to submit to jiziya collectors.

Source:

3. Aurangzeb’s ultimate aim was conversion of non-Musl!ms to Isl@m. Whenever possible the emperor gave out robes of honor, cash gifts, and promotions to converts. It quickly became known that conversion was a sure way to the emperor’s favor.

4. Aurangzeb as a ferocious destroyer of H!ndu temples and idols.

He did not just build an isolated mosque on a destroyed temple, he ordered all temples to be destroyed, among them the Kashi Vishwanath temple, one of the most sacred places of H!nduism.

OM : THE PRIMORDIAL SOUND OF WHOLE CREATION AND COSMOS.

For a layman,its synonymous to meditation,they think that yogi sadhus chant it to meditate or do yoga sadhana.But its more than that. It's deepely embedded in Hindu culture &philosophy.

To truly understand its profound effects, we must have a basic understanding of sound. Every sound is made of vibrations. These vibrations have a source, they travel through air before reaching the ear and then they are interpreted by the brain.

The number of vibrations per second is called frequency. Since all matter is composed of atomic material, everything vibrates on some frequency.

Everything means all matter, including us, everything and everyone has some vibrating frequency.

The great inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla has very famously quoted, "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."

And he was right in saying so as we all know that sound never dies. It remains in the Cosmos forever. So, If someday we could develop a technology by which we could extract the sounds of the particular era from the Universe, we will be able to hear the Voice of Lord Krishna...

Rama’s concern on wellbeing of His bhaktas (bhakta aBimAnI)

Once a jIvAtmA does saranagati, Bhagawan takes immense efforts keeps uplifting them until it reaches Him.

Ramayanam consists of guNAs of Rama and Sita that will make the reader get overwhelmed with emotions towards1

Him thereby building Bhakti.

Yesterday, I wrote about how He gave aBaya to Vibishana without questioning.

This is an instance where He cares for their wellbeing.

Rama and his team of vAnarAs have reached Lanka and are in discussions. Similarly, Ravana and his ministers 2

are inspecting their opponents and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses.

Upon seeing Ravana, Sugriva who has become a devout bhakta of Rama, cannot bear the sight of someone who has kidnapped Sita causing immense anguish to his swami (Rama). 3

He leaps in the sky, reaches Ravana and wrestles with him fiercely, causing immense embarrassment in front of his ministers, grabs his crown and places it at Rama’s feet.

Meanwhile, Rama became so concerned as He couldn’t find Sugriva and becomes happy once he’s back.4

THE UNTOLD TALE OF THE LESSER KNOWN WARRIORS:JOGRAJ GURJAR & RAMPYARI GURJAR AND HOW DID THEY DEFEAT THE CRUELEST ISLAMIC INVADER, TIMUR LANG.

Timur Lang, was the founder of Timurid Empire. He was born in April 1336 CE, somewhere in central asia.

During his reign, he conquered Persia, Egypt, Central Asia and emerged as the most powerful and heinous ruler. He was a religious fanatic like the rest of the Islamic invaders who tried to invade India.

Timur Lang decided to invade India in 1398 as he heard about India's splendid wealth and had a desire to conquer India which his ancestor Genghis Khan couldn't do.

After Firoz Shah's demise in1388, Delhi Sultanate was in a state of political turmoil.During this time, Timur sent his grandson Pir Mohammad to attack Indian front. He invaded Multan&was able to defeat Iqbal Khan's brother but when he met with resistance,he asked help from Timur.

Iqbal Khan secured his hold on Delhi under Muhammad Tughluq after Firoz Shah died.
Timur provided the required back-up to his grandson with 100000 men approx. Timur sacked and plundered all the cities coming in his way &later in October 1398 reunited with his grandson.

Personality of Rama -

ஸர்வதா அபிகத சத்பி சமுத்திர இவ ஸிந்துபி ஆர்யா சர்வ சமஷ்ச்சைவ சதய்வ ப்ரியதர்ஷின

Just as rivers eventually flow into the sea, all the learned people in Ayodhya were eager to converse with Rama on topics of higher learning.

ஸ சா சர்வ குனோபேதஹ கௌசல்யா நந்தா வர்தனா
சமுத்திர இவ காம்பிர்யே தைரியென ஹிமவானிவ

As an embodiment of all good qualities, He brings delight to His mother, Kausalya.

His majestic appearance equals an ocean and determination that of Himalayas

He is the protector of dharma.

He follows His dharma strictly and ensures His people follow them too.

#Thread on Toolkit for Hindus

1. Connect yourself to a Hindu cause irrespective of the state, language, caste or creed. Remember that day isn't far when we might become minority without minority status.

2. Since we are all called Sanghis, no harm visiting the nearest RSS shakha once.

3. Countering Radic@l Isl@m is a must. They are spreading like termites.

Please visit my pinned thread on J!hadists. Be alert and cautious.

Check @jihadwatchRS and his videos for detailed information.

4. Reading about our past scriptures, vedas and countering false propaganda with proper logic and evidence.

Some of us have already started digging real history, vedas, Gita, etc. Please read the complete thread and then RT. Remember FOLLOWERS IS NOT THE MAIN GOAL.

5. Celebrating all Hindu festivals openly and without any guilt and following the rituals. Wearing a thread around the wrist, using rudraksh malas, wearing bindis, should be made as a trend.

I wear a small ganesha pendant around my neck. Show your identity openly.

SRI PRASANA VENKATESH WARA SWAMY.
TIRUPATI APPALAYAGUNTA.. JOURNEY...
ORIGINAL PICTURE....
OM NAMO VENKATESHAYA....

Appalayagunta is a small town in puttur taluka, chittoor. Per legends Lord Venkateshwara married thaayar padmavathy in Narayanavanam and moved to Tirumala. On the way to Tirumala he visited shiv temple @ kailasanatha kona & blessed the saints. He then left for Vemula konda

& to fulfil the siddheswara muni’s wish, Sri Venkateshwara promised that he will stay and bless the devotees.
Siddheswara muni placed lord’s idol down the hill and built a temple & named it as “PRASANA VENKATESH WARA SWAMY”

There’s a cave in siddheswara hill, long back king karveti nagara was hiding in the cave during invader’s attack & since then it came to be known as “Doralu Dagina Konda” (Kings hiding cave). Currently per the locals there is a sword inside the cave and no matter how much effort

we put it’s unable to pull the same. Till date many utsavam are being conducted for this fascinating sword.

WHY IS RUDRAKSH SO IMPORTANT IN OUR SANATAN DHARMA?

Rudraksh is the seed of medicinal plant known as Elaeocarpus Ganitrus in scientific terms. It has a great religious significance,used as ayurvedic medicine &taken as a remedy for multiple health concerns.

Rudraksh is a Sanskrit word consisting of the name Rudra (A form of Shiva) and Aksh ( teardrops from eyes), which translates as, 'Teardrops from Lord Shiva's eye's.

The Legend says that Lord Shiva was so hurt and sad due to the unrighteous behaviour of Demon Tarkasur's sons that tears shed from his eyes, taking the shape of a Rudraksh tree.

These fruits are also known as Amritphal ( Fruits of Nectar). The Rudraksh fruit is blue in color and resembles a lot like blueberries, only it turns black on getting dried. The hard seed in the center can have 1 to 21 faces.

There are 38 varieties of Rudraksh that are found primarily in Nepal, India, Indonesia & Sri Lanka. Rudraksh tree is a large evergreen tree, which grows up to 50 to 200 feet and it bears fruit in 3 to 7 years.

WHAT IS THE HINDU VARNA VYAVASTHA?
Is the casteism part of it?
Let's find out...

चतुर्वरंयं माया सृष्टयं, गुणाकर्मा विभाक्षा:
तस्या कर्तारमापी माम,विद्या कर्तारं अव्यायं
(Geeta 4:13)
This Geeta verse is very important, not only from spiritual perspective but also..

...from the scientific point of view.
The verse also has its own social significance.

Let's comprehend. The word Varna is made of root word 'Var' which has many meanings-to choose, to demand, to desire etc. It is evident from this that the word Varna means,"to choose the desired work or thing". To assimilate Varna with caste is utterly irrational &sheer ignorance.

Above shloka translates to,
'Segregating the deeds based on properties, I composed four varna, ie 4 types of karma, with a freedom to choose are composed by me.' It's very important to note here that the division of Karma is based on qualities &there is a freedom to choose yours.

Hence, the word varna cannot be associated with caste as it's not based on birth rather its based on the Karma and there is also the option to choose your karma. Brahmin, kshatriyas,vaishya & shudras, these all words are qualitative nouns.

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.

And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.

Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.

He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.

He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.

MEANING:- SHIVA IS A FORM OF VISHNU AND VISHNU A FORM OF SHIVA. SHIVA DWELLS IN THE HEART OF VISHNU WHILE VISHNU IN THE HEART OF SHIVA.

Shiva can help her calm Vishnu, and immediately does a tapas for Him and Shiva appears to save her soodari(sister). Lakshmi says “You and Vishnu are both same, the Paramaatma. Please help me!”. Shiva says “Soodari! How do you know that we both are same?

DR RAMENDRA LAL MUKHERJEE @ramendralalmukh

Four-year-old Ramendra was at his grandfather’s home, taking an afternoon nap, during one summer holiday. All the doors were closed, and the curtains had been drawn, leaving the room drenched in darkness,

but for a single beam of sunlight streaming in through the crack in the door. The wall, like a cinema screen, came alive to depict the noisy world outside. As Ramendra’s family slept—lorries, cows, people and trees—everything was visible. The room had become a pin-hole camera.

The afternoon siesta was now all but forgotten, as Ramendra rushed to see if what he saw could be replicated on a smaller scale. He picked up his grandmother’s white coloured cough syrup box and a safety pin from his mother.

He punched one small hole on one side of the box for the light to be able to enter and made a larger hole on top to see inside the box. Lo and behold, he could see the trees, people, lorries and cows inside this tiny camera.

Dr Mukherjee lives in Howrah with his wife and son and is known as a “serial inventor”, with over 30 internationally patented inventions to his name so far. Some of these include a lie detector, a stone analyser, an electronic ENT scope,
