Thatho Ravananeethayaha Seethayaha Shathrukarshanaha
Iyesha padamanveshtum chaaranacharithe pathi
Everyone in this world aims at peace.But none knows the way to it. Those
who have attained knowledge of the soul attain peace. That is attained again
only by the grace of guru. The jeevan is immersed in samsaara by the ties of
maya. He becomes subdued by the satva, rajas and tamao gunas. The jeeva wants
liberation and the Lord to wants to free him. It is then that the Lord sends a
Guru. The Guru consoles the jeevan, preaches the rama nama and unites him with
the Lord. This is the crux of Ramayana. This is exemplified in Sundara kanda.
In
Sundara Kanda Hanuman is the Guru. Sri Rama is Eeshwara. Seetha is the jeevan.
Ravana exemplifies Rajo guna, Kumbakarna is the embodiment of tamas and
Vibheeshana shows the satva guna. Maricha personifies Maya. Seetha was abducted
by Ravana because of her desire for the deer ( maya). She was taken away from
Rama ( Lord) and arrested in Ashokavana. This is nothing but the jeevan being
subdued in samsara by the maya. It is then that Aanjaneya unites Seetha and
Rama being an aacharya.
Hanuman rose up the Mahendra mountains. He grew and grew in
form. His devotees might fear that Hanuman was flying to Lanka single handed
without any other support. Valmiki knew the fear. Hence He says “ This Hanuman
alone would suffice to destroy the entire Lanka—Seethayaha Shatrukarshanaha.”
He could fly across the skies. He could also swim across the sea. But he chose
to fly across as he would reach Lanka speedily.
