Chapter - 100 -Sri Vinaya Patrika – Ramanama Mahima
Sri Tusidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabhu, it
was my mistake, I have got influenced by your Prapancha/Maya, and attached to
all those Anathmavasthu/material matters and people that have temporary life.
Oh! Prabhu, you are an ocean of virtues and forgot the Athmavasthu/Paramathma
resides as a soul in me. Oh! Kripalu, you are the protector of the distressed
Jeeva, you are the savior of Dheena and Dhukhi, Oh! Prabhu, I may sound
Vairagin, humble and dressed in ragged clothes, but my mind is completely polluted
with the several sins and immoralities, it is the storehouse of sins, Oh! Ram,
I am heartless, wicked, and deceitful, haven’t practiced devotion or followed
any of the austerities and Shamadhamadhi, my mind is corrupted and it is full
of sins and dirt. Oh! Prabho, my mind takes great pleasure in the morally wrong
deeds, and the association of people who are drenched in the material matters,
chasing after richness, wealth, fame, money, attachment to wife, children,
relatives, and companions, therefore I hardly find any interest in the
association of Viraktha Santh Mahathma, noble-souls, my mind always seeking
pleasure in worldly matters and people. The Lord of Lords, Lord Mahadeva
whispers the Ramanama on the ears of the Jeeva who leave mortal coil on the sacred land of Anandhavan, so that the Jeeva gets liberated from the vicious cycles
of rebirth, in this way, the supreme Lord Mahadeva glorifies the Ramanama that
could remove the grief and sufferings although it was uttered in Dhamba/pride,
it could remove the miseries and sorrows/Dukhasagara, like the Sage Agasthya
who dried up the ocean, the utterance of Ramanama would provide welfare in the
Ihaloka and Paraloka as well. The Ramanama is the essence of bliss and
auspiciousness, the piousness achieved from reciting the Ramanama is
incomparable. Oh! Prabho, the commendable merits of Ramanama Japa makes me
cheerful, finally this Tulsi has got something to hold on to to get rid of the
sufferings of Samsara and vicious cycles of Samsarachakra.”
159) Hai Prabhu! Meroyi Sab Dhosu |
Seelasindhu Kripalu Nath Anath Aarath
Posu || Besha Bachan Biraga Man Adha Avagunaniko Kosu | Ramapreethi Pratheethi
Poli Kapata Karthab Dosu || Ragaranga Kusanga Hi Sau Sadhusangathi Rosu |
Chahath Kehari Jasahim Seyi Srigala Jyo Khargosu || Sambhusikhavan Rasan Hu
Nitha Ramanamahim Dhosu | Dhambhahu Kali Nama Kumbhaja Soch Sagar Sosu || Modha
Mangala Moola Athi Anukoola Nija Nirajosu | Ramanama Prabhava Suni Tulasihu
Parama Parithosu ||
