Chapter 201 – Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Sri Ramanama to achieve Ananyabhakthi

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, there are certain things that can’t be disclosed, and some of the things cannot be kept secret, but I have to tell you this, even though I am a worthless sinful Jeeva I feel it was good that I have disclosed my sufferings to my Master who is pure, unblemished, and benevolent. Many a time I have back footed thinking about your splendor, somehow I have gathered courage to appeal before you, all my life I was ashamed to approach you, I have been drenched in worldly matters, Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Masthcharya, I was illusioned/Mahamoha, ignorant soaked in material welfare and bodily pleasures of fleeting nature, Oh!Prabho, your pleasant nature, kindness, and compassion to the distressed and depraved Jeeva, immensely attracted me, hence I have taken shelter in your sacred name ‘Ram’. Oh! Prabho, you get easily pleased to your devotees who immerses singing in praise of your glories, recite your splendor, folding hands and bowing down head before you, even if they are from the lowly clan. Oh! Prabho wasn’t that the power of pure love and devotion? Whoever taken shelter at your lotus feet got rid of impurities of the mind, Ahamkara and Mamakara, sufferings of poverty, and achieves Yoga and Kshema. There was no one Prathapi/mighty as demon Ravana and no one was weak and fearful like Vibheeshana, ultimately Vibheeshana took shelter at your lotus feet have achieved immense glories, Ananyabhakthi at your lotus feet and crowned as the King of Lanka, and Ravana who was haughty and arrogant got killed in your hands. Therefore, whoever approaches you with sincere devotion and faith, and accepts their own impurities of mind and sins committed, would achieve all the auspiciousness, otherwise, it would push them into grief and miseries. Oh! Jeeva, if you constantly remember the legend of Jatayu, Ahalya, Gajendra, Ajamila, Shabari, who have achieved immense bliss with the pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord, your love for the Lord Ramachandra would grow boundless. Oh! Prabho, your sacred name ‘Ram’ resemble Kalpavruksha that fulfills all the desires of the worshiper and change them grow desire less in their lives/Poornna Kama. Oh! Prabho, the recitation of your name removes the sins of the worshiper, thereby the evilness of the Kali era get weakens. Oh! Karunanidhan, all that I desire to achieve Anananyabhakthi at your lotus feet, I would like to take great pleasure like a fish, splattering in the Sriramachandhra Bhakthiroopi sacred Ganga.”
