SLOKA OF THE MONTH- OCTOBER 2013
“ Thvayi Sathyam Cha Dharmascha Thvayi sarvam Prathishtitham
Thachcha Sarvam Mahabaho Shakyam Dharthum Jithendriyaihi
Thava Vashyendriyathvam cha Janami Shubhadarshana
Budhdirvairam Vina Hanthum Rakshasaan Dandakaasrithan.
Aparaadham vina Hanthum Lokaan Veera Na kamaye
Apyaham Jeevitham Jahyam Thvam Va Seethe SaLakshmanaam
Na thu Prathignam samsruthya Braahmanebhyo Viseshathaha”
SriDevi is the embodiment of compassion. She never leaves
the Lord even for a second. Her abode is
the bosom of the Lord. If we ask a person whether he has compassion, we do not
ask him whether his head has mercy, or his hands or legs possess pity. We only
say “ Doesnt your hear ever have compassion? The heart is the place for
compassion. SriDevi always resides in the Lord’s heart. Whenever he incarnates
she too comes along and shows the world the path of dharma. She came as Sita
during the Ramaavathara. She showed the world the meaning of chastity.
When
Rama went to the forest she too went along.When he entered Dandakaarnaya, the
sages surrendered at his feet and asked rama to protect them from Kara,
Dooshana and other rakshasas. Immediately Rama pledged to kill the rakshasas.
Seetha sid “ i do not think the rakshasas are at fault. Hence please do not
kill them. You are full of virtues like truth, righteousness, etc. The sages
have controlled their senses. They can tolerate anything.. I know how great a
person you are. The rakshasas have not troubled us at all. Hence it is
inappropriate to go for war with the rakshasa.
Rama did not get
angry hearing these words. He said , “ You are full of compassion. Hence the
blunder of the rakshasas is not felt by you. These rakshasas have eaten
hundreds of sages and tormented them. How could I be calm? The purpose of me
holding this Kodanda in hand is to protect the good and destroy the evil. Iam prepared
to even sacrifice my life, or even you and Lakshmana for the sake of the
sadhus. Never will I give up my oath to protect them”, he concluded.
