Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Ramanama Mahima - The recitation of Ramanama to get rid of Thapathraya

 




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?.”
