Shri Sanatanam: Glories to Lord Shriman Lakshmi Narayana

What do you know about Lord Shri Rama ? What do you want to say him ?

The one whose divinity is unreachable. The one whose love is un-comparable. The one whose pativrata dharma (rules of a husband) is a lesson for all. The one who is bhakta-vatsala. The one who is aaradya of his aaradya. The one whose glories can’t be sing as whole even if I take 1000s of re-births. That Param-Purusha that Bhakta-Vatsala is my Shri Rama who is Shriman Narayana himself.

Lord Rama is one in all i.e. “Sarva Ramena, Ramena Sarvam” ! His love towards his devotees is so divine that no one can match it. Just like how Lord Shiva is for Shri Shri Goswami Tulsidas ji Maharaj, I have Lord Shri Ram though I am not that great like his divine and I can never be.

Moreover Lord Rama is something so auspicious and divine that words are less for him to be expressed.

As Goswami Tulsidas ji said :-

कामिहि नारि पिआरि जिमि लोभिहि प्रिय जिमि दाम ।
तिमि रघुनाथ निरंतर प्रिय लागहु मोहि राम ॥
Like a lusty man loves a woman and is not able to think anything else except her. Hence oh Lord Ram you too should be in my heart and become dearest to me and I should love you very much.

Hence I love my Shri Ram like this only.

Even I believe that :-

मसकहि करइ बिरंचि प्रभु अजहि मसक ते हीन ।
अस बिचारि तजि संसय रामहि भजहिं प्रबीन ॥
Even if a Mosquito can become a great sage and even a great sage can become less than Mosquito by Shri Ram. Hence all those who have wisdom thinks about Lord Ram and worship him.

Hence without Ram, what knowledge I am going to have ?

If I leave Ram, how can I get Shiva ? Having Shiva leaving Ram is equal to attaining body without soul and attaining knowledge without guru. I may get the knowledge but its essence will be zero, Its experience will be zero.

For me the Lord of Maa Lakshmi, Shriman Narayana is the one who have always guided me whenever I needed and also where I didn’t. Lord Shri Hari Vishnu is always with me. Sometimes I even felt to burn up all the books and all and only trust what they guides. I don’t trust anyone except my Bhavani Shankar and Lakshmi Narayana.

Lord Vishnu’s life as Lord Shri Ram teaches us all the key concepts of life. His life (Ramayana) looks like a story of Bhagwad Gita. His Nishkaam Karma, his ways, his behaviors and what all his qualities I describe, though I am describing nothing of him, such infinite he is.

Maa Sita on other side is ocean of motherly love (Mamtha). I think so another reason of Maa Lakshmi’s avatar as Maa Sita is because we, her children were lacking some amount of love though drinking whole river of her love, She came on earth from her divine dhaam Vaikuntha. Who can know them more than they themselves.

I know how great Shri Ram is, when Sage Bhrigu kicked his chest, he accepted that and massaged Bhrigu’s feet and closed his Agyaan Netra. I know he was the one who cursed my Lord of Vaikuntha because of which he have to get separated from my Maa many times. That curse actually had 0 effect on him but we all know that the worst quality of my Bhavani Shankar and Lakshmi Narayan is that they are “Bhakta-Vatsala”. They accept anything which their devotees offer with love and pain. When Gandhaari did that in Kurukshetra after the Mahabharata war, he the supreme accepted it. Such the ocean of love he is, I just want to get drowned in it.

I know that Kevat, who intentionally told :-

छुअत सिला भइ नारि सुहाई। पाहन तें न काठ कठिनाई॥
तरनिउ मुनि घरिनी होइ जाई। बाट परइ मोरि नाव उड़ाई
The sand of your feets are so magical that you can make a stone into a very beautiful woman than what’s guarantee of this wood (Boat’s wood) ? If my boat also became a beautiful woman than ? It will also fly away and all my ways of economy will be destroyed because this boat alone is the source of my economy.
एहिं प्रतिपालउँ सबु परिवारू। नहिं जानउँ कछु अउर कबारू॥
जौं प्रभु पार अवसि गा चहहू। मोहि पद पदुम पखारन कहहू
Oh Lord ! I am only able to eshtablish my economy through this boat, no other buisness or work I know. So please give me permission to wash your feets.

Such a great devotee he was who got the opportunity to wash the feets of the one who is “Akhilanda koti Brahmanda Naayaka” !

How can I be so great who sings only your glories and that also not properly. I being the devotee knows only Bhakti. Nothing more I want to know and do all the works of mine. This Kaliyuga has its great effect on the devotees and makes their mind also polluted like anything.

But I know you told something very auspicious, pure and universal truth as Lord Dattatreya that :-

ईश्वरानुग्रहादेव पुुंसामद्वैतवासना ।
महद्भयपररत्राणारद्वप्राणामुपजायते ॥ १॥
Through the grace of God alone, the desire for non-duality (Adwaita) arises in wise men to save them from great fear.
:- Lord Dattatreya in Avadhoot Gita

Hence Oh Lord ! As you saved Gajendra and killed that Crocodile, please save me also from black thoughts which brings wrong about You and my Shiva. As you took support of Vaanar Sena and Killed Ravana, Oh Lord ! I will do my karmas which you assigned to me which will be my support to your leela and save me by killing the Ravana inside me. Oh Lord ! As you guided Arjuna and gave him the divine most knowledge of Shri Bhagwad Geeta, give me also knowledge and guide me too on the path of the destruction of ill thoughts and misfortunes in my life. Oh Lord ! I am your refugee alone !!!!!
