Chapter – 246-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The recitation of 'Sri Ramanama' is the safest ferry to cross the ocean of worldly existence


Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri Hari, I have surrendered at your lotus feet knowing that you are the protector of distressed souls, your sacred names are the safest ferry to cross the unfathomable ocean of worldly existence and repeated births. Oh! Prabho, the Veda and scriptures highly eulogize your glories, the Byadh hunter Guha, Gridharaj Jatayu, Ganika the prostitute, Bhramin Ajamila had achieved your supreme abode merely chanting your sacred names, Devi Ahalya, Gautama Pathni got released from the curse at the touch of the dust particles from your feet. Oh! Prabho, the elephant Gajendra got seized on the leg by the crocodile in the pond, fought for several years, and finally uttered your sacred name, before completing it you rushed to protect him and released the curse of the elephant and crocodile. Oh! Prabho, your ardent devotee Prahlada and his grandson Bali blissfully engaged in singing in praise of your glories, although they have born in the clan of demons. Oh! Prabho, the child devotee Dhruva undertook extreme penance at the age of five and achieved your compassionate grace, prostrated before your lotus feet, and your affectionate touch with the conch on his cheek encouraged him to sing in praise of your glories. Oh! Prabho, Pandavas who resembles righteousness got protected from each and every trouble all through their lives, Devi Dhraupadhi was humiliated in the large assembly of Kaurava and was protected with your grace. Oh! Bhakthvathsal, Oh! Kripasagar, Oh! Pathithapavan, you have incarnated whenever Mother Earth was troubled with the burden of evil entities, thus your various incarnations were highly praised in the scriptures and Veda. Oh! Prabho, Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Lord Indra, deities, Rishis, and Sages sing in praise of your glories, contemplate upon you and prostrate at your lotus feet.”
