Shri
Rama was the son of Dasharatha and Kousalya. Dasharatha is
the one who is capable of maneuvering the ten chariots in the body
namely five sense organs and five organs of action
perfectly. Kousalya is the skill that handles the rider of the ten
chariots. The place where Shri Rama was born is “Ayodhya” the place without war.
The place without war is peaceful.
The events that
occurred are not just a long drama written by Sage Valmiki, but it
has a philosophical and spiritual truth in it.
Ramayana is happening in my
body, in our body and in everyone’s body irrespective of who he is and
where he is from. Shri Rama is the representation of the Atma (Consciousness),
Sitamatha is the Jivatma (Individual Consciousness), Hanuma is the Prana (Vital
Breath) while Ravana is the Ahamkara (Ego).
Maha Vishnu who is
Absolute Consciousness appears as an Amsha (Part) as Shri Rama. This
Consciousness has four Avastha (State) Jagratha Avastha (Awake State) is
Lakshmana, Swapna Avastha (Dream State) is Bharata, Sushupti Avastha (Dreamless Deep Sleep State) is
Shatrughna and Turiya Avastha (Transcendal State) is Shri Rama Himself.
Guru Vishwamitra (Our Master) takes Shri Rama and Laskshmana (Transcendental and Awake State) to the forest on the pretext of guarding the
Yagna (Well-being of Society). There Tataka (Negative Thoughts) is annulled and the flip flop of mind
is stopped by breaking the Shiva Dhanush (Bow of Shiva) with this there is yoga
of union with Maya Shakti that is Sitamatha.
Parashurama (Purva
Samskara) is controlled by wielding the Vishnu Chapa (Bow of Vishnu) which is
the present. Purpose of Life is Pitru Vakya Paripalana (Honouring the words of
his father). Going to Dhandakarnya (Forest) is like being in the state of
solitude. Cutting off the nose of Shurpanaka is the Indriya Nigraha (Control of
Senses). Khara, Dushana and Thrishira killing is Kama, Khroda, Lobha (Desire,
Anger, Greed) Nasha.
Sitamatha harana
(Abduction of Sitadevi) is our Jignasattva (Desirous of Knowing) being carried
away by Vishayavasana (Interest in Materialism) who is Ravana. Mareecha killing
is Moha (Attachment) Nasha. Hanumantha Pravesha is the Bhakti Yoga (Path of Devotion) which is to get
back the Jignasattva.
First thing to
happen in the advent of Bhakti is Ajnana Nasha (Vali Samhara) and Vibheeshana
Agamana (Vibheeshana joining Shri Rama Camp) is Sat Sangha in the happening.
Samudra Langana (Jumping the Ocean) is the test of endurance, Sethu Bandhana
(Building of Bridge) is test of our ability. Sitadevi Anveshana (Search for
Sitadevi) is exploring in the Scriptures (Shastra Adhyayana). Lanka Dahana
(Burning of Lanka) is destroying the Ashastra Pustaka (Bad Literature).
Vanquishing of
Kumbhakarna and Indrajit depicts the Mada, Matsarya (Arrogance, Envy) Nasha.
With the loss of Khara, Dushana, Thrishira, Mareecha, Kumbhakarna and
Mahiravana, (Kama, Khroda, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Matsarya) Ravana, the embodiment of Ego is killed.
Then
with the reunion of Sitamatha and Shri Ramachandra there is Pattabhisheka which
is Svatmanandanubhava (Ecstasy).
