About Rama-lila

by Srila B. R. Sridhar Maharaj

When he comes in the womb of the mother, then the elder brother’s milk from the breast of the mother stops, he snatches away. And when he comes out of the womb, he occupies the lap of the mother, and the elder brother is dispossessed; and when grown up he takes the share of the paternal property. So, there is no other enemy greater than the brother.

But Lakshman’s behavior was the ideal of brotherhood. He did everything for the service of his brother; when Ramachandra went to the forest, leaving the throne for Bharat, according to the words already given by Dasarath, his father, Lakshman told, «Father is too old. He has lost his sense. He is now guided by the step- mother. We may not care for his vow.

You are the natural owner of the throne, and I with this weapon, I shall control everything to make a smooth path to your throne.» Lakshman told so much. And Lakshman’s adherance to Ramachandra we find in the greatest degree went he went to banish Sitadevi in the forest only by the order of Rama. Sita did not know that she was to be banished, she was enticed to the forest, tapovan, of Valmiki.

Anyhow, «You have expressed that you want to see tapovan once, so Ramachandra has ordered me to take you to see tapovan.» In this way, Sita was taken in the tapovan. And there she was left alone under a tree in the forest, and Lakshman went to take his leave. «What do you say, Lakshman?» This is my elder brother. And Sitadevi was left alone in the forest under a tree, and then of course it was divine arrangement. Valmiki’s disciples detected her and took her there in the ashram and a cottage was at once arranged for her comfortable stay there.

Valmiki took the charge of seeing to all the comforts of Sitadevi there. He knew already that such an event were coming to happen. He was composing Ramayana, and going ahead in his divya darshan he was seeing the future incidents and he was composing the poems. He know that now it is high time that Sitadevi will come here and she will give birth to two sons here in this tapovan. All this was known to Valmiki Rishi. And who was Valmiki Rishi? What was his previous history?

He was a great dacoit, and he was converted to a Rishi, only by the force of Harinam. Ram nam, experimental way. Devarshi Narada and Brahma, when some inspiration came, the Ram nam is so purifying it can purify to any extent. Anyone for experiment they came and took up that ratnakar, but not that dacoit. Born in a brahmana family, most heinous and cruel

murderer and what not. Looted. «If this man can be converted by Ram nam, then of course, Ram nam’s great magnanimity will be settled.» The second experiment, and first, on the way he met him, and when he was told, he came to rob them, Brahma and Narada. «You take Ram nam, think of you. What you are doing all these things?» «No, no. I won’t hear you. All these things, sweet words have no value in me.» «Do you think that all the activities you are doing in this way, that will have no consequence?

A bad reaction is waiting for you. Still there is time. What we say, do this, and you will be absolved from all your previous misdeeds.» Then so many things happened. Anyhow, I am doing a duty: I have got my old father, mother, wife, children, to maintain them, I am doing they will also partake the evil consequences of my misdeeds. It is done for them, their interests.» «No. None will take. You are responsible. Go and ask them.» «And you go away in the meantime.» «No no.

Tie us to the tree so that we may not fly away, and you go and ask them and come back.» He went straight to his family and asked everyone. None accepted him. «I am old» his father said. His mother also said the same thing. «When you were young, it was my duty to maintain you. But now it is your duty to maintain us like your child. We are old. So, you are doing your duty by maintaining us. But we won’t take the share of your misdeeds.

We did not tell you that you’ll do will earn money in any way. We did not do that. We won’t go to share the consequence of your misdeeds.» His wife also told like that. «You do your duty in the right way. We won’t go to share the consequence of your misdeeds. It is your duty to maintain me. I am doing my duty here. I won’t go to take the share of your misdeeds.» Then a change came to his mind: «The reaktion». He ran to the place where Brahma and Narada were tied there where he kept them So, for fear of his sin

the whole water disappeared, and he came back and related to Brahma, «Oh, this is such. Such a great magnitude of sinfulness.» So, Brahma had water in his kamandalu, he sprinkled it on him and said, «Now, I ask you to take the name of Rama Rama.» He can’t take. Ram nam. So, anyhow, they asked him, that the dry branch of a tree, what is that branch? It is living? «No, it is mara, dead» he

said. «Yes, mara mara mara. You do.» He began to chant ma ra ma ra ma rama rama ramarama …» in this way he managed to take rama nam, and he became Maharishi Valmiki. The ram, the sound, Vaikuntha nama grahanam asesagbam haram vidu. The name purified him. The sound, sound, the most subtle thing. It can act over all possible things of gross conception. And also the mental system contains so many thoughts and ideas good or bad, all relating to this mundane world.

But Vaikuntha nam, the Vaikuntha wave, vibration, that vibration that is created by the sound, with the help of the sound. That can purify all grosser apprearances in this world. Vaikuntha nama grahanam. Not only lip deep sound. That must have got reference of Vaikuntha. Kuntha asana, that means the limitation, above limitation. The sound must have its original conception above the realm of limitation.

The plane which is above limitation. Immeasurable, that immeasurable force is invited in the form of sound to do away with all the anomalies in this mundane world. The mundane world, mental system all bogus anomalies. It is not normal or proper. All thinking of different free souls even free will coming, they clash with one another. Abnormal.

They can be normal only with the help of the most universal vibration. The vibration of the most highest universal type, when that comes in this all-relative mundane waves, they can change them immediately. Immediately and most effectively and very highly: very high order. Nama mata.
