Section One  PRELIMINARY  EKASLOKI RAMAYANA  (Ramayana in One Slogam)  Swami Sivananda Post-1. =================================================================================== Formerly Sri Rama went to the forest (where Rishis did penance) and killed the illusive deer.  Sita was  carried away and Jatayu was killed. (Rama) met Sugriva, killed Vali and crossed the ocean. The city of   Lanka was burnt (by Hanuman). Ravana and Kumbhakarna were then killed. Thus (is recited) the holy  Ramayana.  SALUTATIONS TO VALMIKI  I adore the lark Valmiki who, having climbed the high branch of poesy sings in nectarine accents the blessed and sweet Name of the Lord: “Rama, Rama, Rama.”  RELATIONSHIP OF HANUMAN WITH SRI RAMA  Hanuman says: “Looked at from the point of view of the body I am Thy slave, from the point of view of  the embodied self, a portion of Thy energy, from the point of

Bhagavatham village -  Swami Udit Chaithanya: Was lucky to travel Kashmir-Srinagar Satsanga in recent times.  This trip was also in Bangalore Arun Babu ji's co-ordination & leadership.  The fact that Kashmir-Srinagar is the most naturally beautiful place in the world will be realized only when you see it directly.  Views of Switzerland are just a small part of the beauty of Kashmir.  The change in Kashmir after Article 370 is unbelievable.  We can see the growth of progress anywhere directly.  The increased number of girls waiting for vehicles for education not only in religious dress shows us the change in Kashmir.  The youth who makes life enjoyable with singing and dancing with the tourists makes them think to be young more than religion.  Changing Kashmir is our good fortune.  Once upon a time, the society of Kerala, who protested against Article 370, is now coming for entertainment in less cost and safer Kashmir.  These people must have realized at least now that we need a
