SLOKA OF THE MONTH- SEPT 2014


“ Rajarshi Deva Prathimou Thapasou Shamsithavrathou
Desham Katham Imam Prapthou Bhavanthou varavarninou
Srimanthou Rupasampanou Vrushabhasreshta vikramou
Hasthihasthopamabhujou Dyuthimanthou Nararshabou
Ubhou Yogyaavaham manye Rakshithum Pruthiveemimam
Sasaagaravanaam Kruthsnam Vindyameruvibhushithaam
Evam mam Paribhashantham Kasmaadvainabhibhashathaha”

After being a witness to Sabari’s liberation Sri Rama came to the Pampa lake. It was spring season.It was very beautiful. Rama was reminded of Seetha and began shedding tears.lakshmana consoled him and Rama too pacified Himself. He then said “ kabanda had informed us that Sugreeva resides here. Look out for hi,”. Sugreeva was perched exactly on the opposite peak.He began running, looking at Rama as he felt that they were sent by Vali.Hanuman stopped him and came towards Rama to enquire about him.
     Hanuman came in the disguise of asanyasi. He came so as Sugreeva suspected rama. As soon as he saw rama at close quarters he understood that Rama was the supreme Almighty. A sanyasi should not prostrate a householder.He can only prostrate before God and his own guru who gave him the sanyasa deeksha. But hanuman fell at the feet of rama who was a gruhastha. It only shows that Hanuman knew Rama was God.
  He then questioned Rama. “Are you Kings or sages or rajarishis? I feel you are kings. But why are you in the disguise of rishis? Why do you wear matted hair in the place of gem studded crwon?Why do you adorn a tulasi mala instead of precious jewels? Why do you sport the bark of a tree instead of a dazzling peethambar? But I feel whether you are in the palace or in the forest you are Sriman ( wealthy). Your wealth can never be separated from you. You both are capable of ruling the entire world. I have been talking all this while. Why are you standing in silence”, thus spake Aanjaneya. Rama was admiring his speech all this while.
