Ramayanam : (18/07/2013 )

 ======================================================================== Chinmaya Mission -Deepavali Celebrations ======================================================================== Wednesday, October 26, 2022. 09:00. Post-5.  ================,======================================================= One of the central questions in your spiritual diary should be, “What am I in the eyes of God?” But this question is never put and you do not want  to know the answer. You always wish to know, “What am I in the eyes of people, in the eyes of my neighbours, in the eyes of the public? What does the country think about me? What do the vote-givers about me?” Never for a moment do you think, “What does God think about me?” Let this be your contemplation. The moment you begin to know what God thinks about you, you will not speak  afterwards; your mouth will be hushed.  It will be hushed for two reasons. One reason is that you would look so small and insignificant, a n...

That was not the purpose of  the Avatara at all. It was to defeat the purpose of Ravana, who had a poor opinion of human beings.  Being a demon, he thought that human beings and monkeys were only a morsel of food for him. On  account of this, he deliberately omitted men and monkeys from the list of his possible future enemies  when he asked for boons from Brahma. “May I not have death from anyone—Gods, Kinnaras,  Kimpurushas, Daityas, Danavas, all superhuman beings,” was the boon he asked. But he never said  anything about monkeys and men. He thought: “They are only food for me; what need to fear them.”  Now, this neglect, this...

 ======================================================================== ========================================================================= Sunday, June 12, 2022. 06:00. AM. Post-2. ========================================================================= We have two Epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. These two parallel movements of Epic stories, known as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, give us a complete picture of the process of the advancement of the human soul towards its Perfection. It is not to be taken as a surprise that the culture of Bharatavarsha is a culture of the Spirit, so that anything that is said and done or believed in, is directly or indirectly connected with the march of the Spirit to the recognition of its Perfection. We have no other culture here except the culture of the Spirit. A connecting of the visible phenomena with what underlies the phenomena, is the significance of the Epics. And these two master-strokes of genius given to us by Valmik...

 =============================================================== =============================================================== Thursday, April 21, 2022. 06:00. AM. Post-1. ================================================================ Let us observe this auspicious occasion of Sri Ramanavami as a moment of contemplation on a special spark of Divinity that made its advent on the earth. Popularly speaking, in ancient historical times, to emphasise the historical advent of this great Divinity on earth has been the exoteric side of the Epics as people generally understand it. This popular emphasis on the incarnations of God on earth has taken the form of Epics like the Ramayana. We are told in the Ramayana of sage Valmiki, the earliest of these documents, that it was a history par excellence, a history of a chronological procession of divine exploits which is what we generally mean by a divine Epic. It is believed that the earliest record of the history of Rama, the Ramayana of Val...

 ============================================================== ============================================================= Wednesday, March 09, 2022. 6:00. AM. =============================================================== Srimad Valmiki Ramayana, which is considered as the Adi Kavya, equivalent to Veda itself, is something whose exposition it is rare to obtain.  Vedah prachetasadasit sakshat ramayanatmana is a famous verse which makes out that the whole of the Veda has been expounded in epic language by the Adi Kavi Valmiki in the Ramayana. The power, the force, the literary style, the mellifluous movement of the whole theme of presentation and a subtly permeating undercurrent of immortal power in the whole epic of the Ramayana make it an almost unparalleled scripture in the world. All Sanskrit literature originated in its form as sahitya from the time of Sage Valmiki himself. There was, as we are told, no versification or presentation of any subject in the form of a slok...

 ================================================= =================================================== Thursday, January 13, 2022. 6:00. AM. 1.Introduction-.6 ================================================== 15) RAMAYANAM IN NORTH AMERICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN CONTINENTS: Before Columbus discovered North American continent European people were not knowing about it. However A DE QNATREFAGES in his book, THE HUMAN SPECIES, categorically says that Chinese people were aware about the American continent and the use to have trade relations with them America was referred as Fad-Sang. Similarly in Japanese people it was known as Fad-See. Similarly, if we refer to various historical reference in Mahabharata, Valmiki Ramayana etc we will find that American continent has been reffered as Patal Desh(Patal means below foot). If we geographically see then we will find that American continent is just below the Indian Subcontinent. We will throw greater light on this issue in our topic, BLUNDERS O...
