Chapter 178 – Sri Vinaya Patrika –The significance of Bhakthi, Gnana and Vairagya

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Whoever practice Bhakti, Gnana, Vairagya sincerely would achieve the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra are fortunate, considered as pure, knower of Veda and Vedantha, Sakala Shastra Nipuna/eminent in all the Shastras and the Paramarththa Thaththva. The birth of Pandu’s son and their association with the wicked Kauravas made them drove from righteousness, the grace of Lord Sri Hari made them venerable in the three worlds, and whoever listened to the legends of Sri Mahabharath got rid of the sufferings of Samsara. Oh! Prabho, King Nriga who sincerely followed the Veda Vihitha Karma, performed an abundance of charities to twice-born, the slightest carelessness in the charity forced him to born as ‘lizard’ in the deep dark well, further, he got liberated at the touch of Lord Krishna. Oh! Prabho, the Bhramasthra capable to destroy the entire Universe was shot in the womb of Devi Uththara by Ashwaththama. Oh! Krishna, she was taken shelter at your lotus feet was protected Pareekshith from the womb of Devi Uththara and diffused the Bhramasthra. Oh! Prabho, the demon Namuchi was so powerful could not get killed by the Vajrayudha of Indhra was killed by the Phen/seized the Prana Vayu. Oh! Prabho, the twice-born Ajamila discarded his duties and responsibilities taken refugee in a prostitute was grieved later years of age called out ‘Narayana’ was got liberated from the sufferings of Samsara. Oh! Prabho, the prostitute Pingala who has immersed in sinful deeds all life, got tired of later years of age adopted a parrot that mimics the ‘Ramanama’, in this way, she has achieved Paramagathi. Oh! Prabho, I am perplexed, which is the required discipline to achieve your grace? I do not understand what would make you get pleased, all that I know this Tulsidas yearning to achieve the compassionate grace of Lord Sri Raghunath.”
