– 151 -Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Ramanama
Mahima – The recitation of Ramanama for Mukthi/free from the sufferings of
Samsara
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Lord
Raghupathi you destroy the sufferings and grief of Samsara, you are Kripalu
protects the Jeeva who have taken shelter at your lotus feet, you are the
purifier of sinners. Oh! Prabho, you are too kind to the Jeeva who utter your
sacred name ‘Rama’, even if he/she is Nirdhayi/unkind, Dhushta/wicked,
Neechajathi/born in the lowly clan, penniless, and provides them your
Parmadhama. Oh! Prabho, there were several sinners, like Gajendhra, an untamed
elephant who was drenched in Bhoga and Ullasa with the herd of elephants in the dense forest of Chitrakoot, was caught on the leg by a crocodile in the pond, invested all
his strength, and the families to pull out the leg from the mouth of the
crocodile went futile, cried out for supreme Lord Hari was protected. The prostitute
Pingala who found helpless in later years of age took great care of a parrot
bought from the house of the devotee of Lord Hari, that has the habit of utter
the names of Lord Hari, which compelled Pingala to repeat the same with the
parrot, thus she achieved Mukthi. The twice-born Ajamila went to collect the
Samith got attracted to the prostitute in the dense wood and started to live
with her for bodily pleasure, abandoning his own family, children, and aged
parents, leaving all the Bhramanic rites, at the death bed the dreadful
appearances of the emissaries of Yama made him call out for his younger son ‘Narayana’.
Soon, the emissaries of Lord Hari appeared before him, eventually got liberated
from the Samsara. Oh! Prabho, you have been too kind and compassionate to all those
sinners who have regretted their sins committed in the latter years of age taken shelter at your lotus feet was got liberated from the sufferings of
Samsara. Oh! Tulsidas, Janakiramana Sri Ramachandra provided Mukthi to all those
souls who have taken shelter in his lotus feet, hence why not you?”
