When one is away from a loved one and unable to tolerate separation, one becomes weak and looks pale. When the loved one returns, the lost glow comes back. This is ‘natural’ for humans. However, have you ever seen a tree feel such emotion? It is described in Srimad Ramayanam how trees and rivers in Ayodhya felt when Rama had to leave Ayodhya for a 14-year exile…
apivruksha:haparimala:nahasupushpa:nkura:hako:raka:ha
the trees shrivelled not due to the external weather but in the pain of separation from Rama…
upatattho:daka:hanadyahapalavala:msisara:msicha
water bodies were releasing extremely hot vapours not because of heat from Sun but due to the pain of separation from Rama…
Rama is revered and worshiped not because He showed any ‘beyond human’ characteristics but because he lived like a true human being, a complete human being
Rama was a complete human being because…
he accepted all situations in life with a balanced mind
he practiced dharma and clarifies with guru any dilemmas in dharma
he was happy for the joy of others instead of being jealous
he willingly considered others’ hardships as his own and tried to relieve them
he was loved by all not because he offered favours but because he truly worked for their well-being
Even Ravana could not talk against Him on the battleground at one point. He could not take his eyes off of Rama and stopped fighting at which point his charioteer drove his chariot out of the battleground. When Ravana got back to his senses, he said…
sathro:hoprakhya:thaveerasyaranjaneeyasyavikramaihi
Ravana was carried away by the way Rama shot the arrows; valor and charm competing and complementing each other in every swing of arrow.
When Rama killed Ravana, devathas – the divine beings bowed their heads and said, “Oh Ram, You are none other than Vishnu and Ma Sitha is mother Lakshmi”. Rama responded…
a:thma:nam ma:nushammanye: ra:mamdasaratha:thmajam
Rama declares gladly that He was born human being named Rama and as the son of Dasaratha…
Rama was Vishnu before and after the avathar(incarnation) as Rama. But, during the Rama avathar, He was a perfect and complete human being. It is for this reason His murthi is worshiped in every village, town, city, and nation of the world. It is to inspire humans to live as humans…
