The Glories of Lord Rama

Shri Rama is the greatest of all the avatars of Lord Vishnu.
Even Lord Shiva himself constantly chants Lord Rama's name.

Lord Narayan/Shri Rama/Lord Krishna are the only gods whose name chants are enough to give everything a person wants.
Lord Rama in itself is the Brahma, the Vishnu and Lord Shiva.

 Kali Yuga is rising.

With the rise of Kali Yuga, adharma has increased, diseases, poverty and sinners have increased. The time has become such that once cannot trust their own family members.
 People, being blind by attachment and lust,  kill their mothers and fathers for the sake of wealth and prosperity.
Women abandon their husbands once he loses his wealth and prosperity. While, husbands ask for dowry and even kill their wives if they don't get it.
They kill children in the womb, even before they are born, just because the child is not a male.
Sanatana Dharma has said that always a male child must be born in every family; because  he is a putra and only a putra can give  moksha to his fathers. 
However, nowhere has Sanatana Dharma said  that one must kill the girl in her womb. This is Bhrunhatya which is 2 times greater sin that Brahma Hatya.

People mercilessly kill animals just to satisfy their needs of hunger.
Extremely gentle and innocent calves are killed and sold as veals to satisfy the never-ending hunger of humans.
There is an increase in lust, grief, attachments, sorrows, anger, violence while there has been a decrease in patience, humbleness, spirituality and kindness towards one and another.
Women have started losing their natural nature of tenderness and care and have started saying cruel words and doing cruel deeds to their own parents and husbands.
While the men, having been burning in lust, forgotten all boundaries, done the undoable and suffering from horrfiying diseases.

Every single person in the world today is suffering from some or the other diseases.
Purana say that the person does punya/good deeds and is dharmik goes to swarg.
The person who does good deeds but is nastik in nature goes to chandra loka.
The person who is atheist and does paap karma goes to  hell.
And our puranas say, that the person, who does neech or extremely lowly karmaa, suffers from  dangerous diseases.

These were just few out of the many many traits that is spreading from the dirt of Kali Yuga.

In today's world, only the person who is spiritually devoted is safe, no one else.
All others are going to get ablazed from the dirt of Kali Yuga the same way, as the sun blazes the desert.

There has been fall of the honest and the rise of the sinners.

And history speaks, that ever since the world was created by Lord Brahma, the rise of sinners has been, like  the rise of vile planet Ketu, both of which bring complete destruction in the world.

On the other hand, the rise of pious people, has been like the rise of Lord Surya and Chandra, both of which bring protection and peace in the world.

These are just few of the many many
 dirty traits of Kali Yuga.
And kali yuga has just started.
It is just 432,000 years old.
Still many many years are left before the rise of Satyug.
The present situation in itself is so horrible that it is unimaginable as to what would happen even 10 years from now.
The world is worsening.
For those who are nastik, them, going to hell is definite.
Time is very less with all of us.
Human life has decreased to a lifespan of just 100 years.
Nothing happens in 100 years.
For a worldly person, a 100 years may be a lot.
But a spiritual person knows that 100 years is like a tiny trop in this massive ocean.

In today's yuga, it is only Rama naam japa that can bring bhukti and mukti for all the people. Nothing else.
There is no other remedy greater than Rama Naam Japa in this yuga.
It is only Shri Rama who can remove us from this dirt.
The way diamond remain stuck in soil and all the dirt and worms around but still doesn't get affected by it, the same way, a vaishnav, even after being stuck in between shudra-like humans,remains pavitra.
Even in these all Vaishnava, it is the vaishnav brahmins which  are the  greatest.
The person whose touch itself purifies rivers like ganga, narmada and kaveri, 
The person whose darshan is like darshan of Lord Rama, the vaishnav whose feet's dust is more purifying that tirths, such are the qualities of a vaishnav.
The vaishnav knows his 1 crore previous births and he knows is detail, everything about each of his birth.
Without Lord Rama, a vaishnav doesn't even want moksha.
Who is there in this world that cannot get moksha under the refuge of Shri Rama.

I will now share with you, the Glories of Shri Rama, reading and remembering which, a person develops devotion towards Lord Rama and with his grace gets freedom from the cycle of birth and death.

Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow.
And whatever standards he sets by his exemplary acts, all the world pursues.

Among gods, Lord Rama is Vishnu himself, among apsara he is rambha, among plants, he is tulsi, among positions he is the sustainer, among the souls he is Narayan, among goddess he is Maa Lakshmi, among Graha he is Surya, he is the one who is present in all, but still invisible, for his form is so minute in us, that it cannot percieved even after years of penance.

From time and time again, whenever there has been rise of adharma and fall of dharma, whenever, the saints have been troubled by the demons, whenever, the this bharat varsha has been in danger, Lord Rama has taken an incarnation for protection of Dharma.

One who knows the transcendental nature of Lord Rama's appearance and activities, does not, after death, take birth in the material world again.

Being free from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in him and taking refuge in him, many many people in the past have become purified by the supreme knowledge of him.
Thus, they all attained liberation under him, who is unborn.

As all surrender unto him, he rewards them accordingly.
According to the three modes of material nature and the  work associated with them, it is Lord Rama  who has created the 4 classes/castes of a human.
And although, he is the creator of this system, you must know that he is yet the non-doer, the unchangeable.
There is no work that hinders him, niether is he stuck in the fruits of action.
One who understands this nature of him also does not get stuck in the cage of karma.
Among all men, Intelligent is the one who sees inaction in action and action in inaction.
Such a man, has already reached the position of liberation even though being part of all actions.

A faithful man who is dedicated to the transcendental knowledge, and who subdues his senses is eligible for this knowledge. Such a person, having achieved it quickly, attained supreme peace.
But there is no transcendental knowledge for the ignorant and doubting ones.
There is no happiness for the doubting ones, niether in this, nor in the next.

A person in the divine consciousness, in the consciousness of the Lord, although seems entangled in seeing, hearing, touching,tasting, smelling, eating, moving about, sleeping and breathing,  knows within himself that he does nothing at all.
For he knows that while speaking, hearing, touching, smelling and breathing, it is only the material body that is entangled in the objects and that he is completely free from them.
One who performs his duties in the lotus feet of the Lord, without attachment, surrendering the results of the action in the feet of the Lord, is untouched by sinful activities, the way lotus flower is untouched by water.
The soul who offers the result of all the activities in his feet,  attains unadulterated peace. But the ignorant person who is greedy for the fruits of his labour is ever entangled.
When the soul, controls his senses and renounces all actions mentally, he resides ever happily in the city of the 9 gates, niether working nor causing work to happen.
When one's intelligence, mind, faith and refuge are all fixed on the Lord, then one becomes fully cleansed of his misdoings through the supreme knowledge and quickly enters the path of liberation.
Those whose minds have already entered the village of equality and non-duality, have already conquered the cycle of birth and death.

One whose happiness in within, who is active and rejoices within,and whose aim is inward,has already found the road of liberation.

A person who is in full consciousness of Lord Rama, knowing him to be the ultimate beneficiary of all acts and sacrifices,surrenders under him, attains peace from the fear of material attachments.
All the things that has ever been created and divided into its 2 natures, material and spiritual, you must know for certain, that it Lord Rama who is both the origin and the dissolution.
There is no truth superior to him, everything's rests in  him.
The divine energy of him, consisting of the 3 modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome, but the one who surrenders unto him,  can easily cross it.

There are 4 kinds of people in this world who surrender unto him - The distressed, The desirer of wealth, the inquisitive and the one who is search for the knowledge of the absolute.
The one who is knowledgeable and always engaged in spiritual deeds is the greatest among all. For he is dear to Shri Rama and Shri Rama is dear to him.
He never comes in front of the ignorant and foolish. For them, he is always hidden due to his powers and they remain unaware, that he is the unborn and infallible.

When irreligion or adharma is prominent in the family, the women of the family become polluted,and from the degradation of womanhood, unwanted progeny comes, who brings destruction of the entire clan.

For someone who think that Lord Rama(Vishnu) was formless and he who took a form in his Rama incarnation, but they do not know  that the supreme Lord was never born.
He despite having done sundry activities of human life, was never a part of it.
For he is unborn and formless.
Deluded by goodness, passion and igorance, the whole world doesn't know him. For he is above the modes.
In illusion, men think that they control nature, when in reality, the nature controls them.
A person who is unaffected by the fruits of success or failure, one who stays neutral towards happiness and sadness, surely attains liberation.
One who knows the truth, niether laments nor desires anything in this world.
For he knows, that those who are ignorant of the self, absorbed in the duality of desire and hatred, are always anxious and fearful.
Like summer and winter, worldly happiness and distress come and go due to false ego. Be fixed in yourself and steady in both. By doing so, one reaches the lotus feet of Lord Rama.
Nothing can destroy happiness in the world of the one who is self satisfied.
Moment after moment, the body changes but the soul remains unchanged, knowing this, the learned ones do not fear death.
For the soul cannot be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor can it be withered by wind.
Those who always think of him, will live with him always.

There is no yagya greater than Rama Naam Japa Yagya.

It is the chanting of Lord Rama's name which gives happiness to the distressed.
The Rama Naam Japa Yagya is giver of great siddhis, fulfiller of all wishes, remover of all dangers and obstacles, destroyer of all mental and physical diseases, giver of everything that is desired, multiplier of sons and other such happiness, giver of great strength, valour and semen, giver of the destroyed wealth and kingdom, giver of wealth to the poverty-stricken, giver of growth in the times of destruction and destroyer of great dangers.
The Rama Naam japa is the destroyer of enemy's army, developer of friends and destroyer of extreme poverty.
Giver of all kinds of luck and fortunes, giver of all material happiness, destroyer of diseases like tuberculosis, leprosy and cancer, remover of all kinds of debts and destroyer of all kinds of graha dosha, remover of jealousy and anger, and destroyer of all malicious thoughts.
It develops the qualities of forgiveness, kindness, friendliness and destroyer of the 6 kinds of vikaar.
It is a bestower of the knowledge of the 3 kaal.
Lord Rama Japa is the giver of Moksha to the emotional and worldly, giver of urdhvagati to the one going adhogati, and bestower of happiness to the ones who are distressed.

This Rama Naam Japa upasana is as great Surya among planets and Soma among stars.

Everyone, even the one who is outcast, can get everything he wants and finally attain the lotus feet of Lord Rama.




Lord Rama says - "For the one who sees me everywhere, I am never lost, nor are they lost to me."

  1. Great article sir, I think some of these information is based on adhyatma Ramayana.
    One thing sir was lord Rama fully aware of avatar during Ramayana.
    Because there is so much difference between Valmiki and adhyatma Ramayana.
    In Valmiki Ramayana shri Rama is depicted as maryada Purushottama and in some book they have mentioned he wasn't aware of his consciousness till he got upadesha from lord Brahma,i don't know how much true is this
    And in Valmiki Ramayana he is depicted as supreme lord.
    Both are true and both cannot be false ,can you please summarise the difference between two.
    Jai Anjaneya

    Hanuman even heard the entire sermon of the hagvad Gita from Lord Krishna's lips only.

  4. As per Bhagavad Gita and kalki purana , the old aryas the brahmin, Kshatriyas and vaishya all mix up and become malecha and become extinct as races, so the final conclusion is that Saptarishi restore a new race of aryas and slaughter the entire old populations on earth, yess , grand supreme mass slaughter. This is what kalki and even sikh scriptures say. So, as lord krishna said to arjuna after explaining the worsening situation of kaliyuga , where everything will keep becoming worse day by day, that forget everything, and seek me, seek moksha. So, dforget about the world and concentrate on worship or sadhna
