Chapter
– 146 -Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Ramanama
Mahima - The recitation of Ramanama to get rid of Thapathraya
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Jeeva,
contemplate and meditate upon the Supreme Lord Sri Raghunayak, who is pleasant,
amiable and promising to the Jeeva who have taken shelter at his lotus feet; therefore,
no deity is as benevolent as Sri Raghunath. The Lakshminath Lakshmiramana
Anandhaghana Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Sri Ramachandra has endless virtues,
destroys the three types of grief of the Jeeva, such as Adhidheivik grief
caused by natural calamities, epidemics, drought, famine, etc. and the
Adhibhauthik grief caused by the material matters, richness, fame, wealth,
money, possession, attachment to wife, children, relatives, and companion, etc.
and the Adhyathmik grief caused by aging, illnesses, and fear of death. The recitation of his sacred name ‘Rama’
provides an abundance of piousness even to the Dhambi/arrogant, Kapati/deceitful,
Neech/lowly, Dhukhi/depressed, Papi/sinner, Dhushta/wicked Jeeva, if they take
shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra achieves Paramapadham which
is difficult to attain even for the deities. Oh! Jeeva, his Charanaroopi/feet
resembles the red lotus flower which is the dwelling place of the Bhramaroopi/honey-bee
like the mind and intellect of the Mahathma Santh who have no yearning for
Moksha or Iha Paraloka Sukha. Oh! Tulsidas, leave your foolishness, why don’t
you recite the glorious name of that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the
savior of the distressed Jeeva?.”
