Chapter – 243-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The significance of the practice of 'Sri Ramanama"


Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri Hari, you are the ocean of mercy, and you fulfill all the desires of your worshiper, you can’t bear the troubles and grief of your worshiper, Oh! Dheenadhayala, Oh! Antharyami, you are that supreme Bhramam that resides as a soul in the Jeeva, you are the source of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Chitta, Ahamkara, Prana/vital air, Karma, and Gnanendhriyas/sensory organs, etc. Oh! Prabho, you are the savior of distressed souls, Devi Dhraupadhi was humiliated in the large assembly of Kaurava by Dusshasan, she cried out for you “Oh! Dhwarakadheesh!” immediately you provided an abundance of clothes to Devi Dhraupadi and crushed the pride of Dhusshasan. Oh! Prabho,  the twice-born Ajamila cried out for his youngest son ‘Narayan’ at the deathbed, and the prostitute who imitated the recitation of the sacred names of the Lord from the parrot achieved liberation from the sufferings and grief of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, the elephant Gajendra, and the crocodile achieved liberation with the pieties achieved from the association of Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls, in their previous births. Oh! Prabho, your child devotee Prahaladha was tortured by his father demon  Hiranyakashipu, you could not bear to watch your ardent devotee in extreme agony, you have assumed the form of Nrisimha/half lion-half man and protected Prahlada and killed the demon Hiranyakashipu. Oh! Gopalalal, you have removed the grief and sufferings of your devotees who have surrendered at your lotus feet, but how did you forget this  born blind and a grave sinner?”
