SLOKA FOR THE MONTH OF JAN 2015

"Naham Janami  keyure  Naham  Janami Kundale
Nuppurethvabhijanami Nithyam paadabhivandanaath."

                     Udhdhava asked Sri Krishna many questions. One of those questions was “ Who is the most courageous?”  Krishna said “ One who has conquered his mind and tongue is the real brave man. True devotees easily conquer their senses.
    When Aanjaneya swamy went in search of Sita he saw many women in the inner apartment of Ravana. He introspected every woman as Sita. His mind was clear. When Tukaram sang abhangs a woman came before before him beautifully attired. He prostrated before her considering her as Rakumayi Devi.
                              Lakshmanaswamy was a mahapurusha. He was virtuous.  This sloka describes the virtue of lakshmana.Sugreeva showed Rama the ornaments of Sita Devi.Rama cried instantaneously seeing those ornaments. He showed them to Lakshmana and asked him “ Do thses ornaments belong to Sita, My dear lakshmana? Lakshmana answered “ I do not know if thses bangles or ear-rings belong to her. But Iam sure these anklets are her’s.  I says so because I have seen her feet everyday when I worship ( prostrate) them.

                  Sita was Lakshmana’s sister-in-law. She was almost his mother. Lakshmana moved with her during vanavas and served her.But he did not notice her ornaments. This shows Lakshmana’s good character.
