KHẠṆD~ Do The Spiritual Rumination of RĀMĀYAN

भाग 1

❃Compendium

One can understand the story of  Rāmāyana as the story of mind, body and soul and the story of causation and prevention of disease. In the mind, body and soul concept, the soul is represented as Rāma and the physical body as Sītā. Body is made up of five elements with earth being the predominant. Sītā was the daughter of Earth (Pṛthvī). Soul and body can only unite in the presence of a determined mind holding them together. Determination means “aim”; in Hindi, it is called “lakshya”. The mind with a defined aim, therefore, represents “Lakṣmaṇa”. Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā, therefore, represent the union of mind, body and soul. The three will stay together as long as one has his / her ten senses (five motor and five sensory) are under control. Senses are agile in nature, just like horses. The chariot of two horses is called “Rath” and the chariot of ten (Daś) horses is called “Daśaratha”. Therefore, mind, body and soul will be together with the resultant health only if the body is ruled by “Daśaratha” by controlling all the ten senses.

DE-CODING RĀMĀYAN ॐ

꧁༺ 𝓘𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 ༻꧂

The Rāmāyaṇa is not just a story that happened long ago; it has a philosophical, spiritual significance and a deep truth in it. It is an epic story about King Daśaratha, who had three wives. He and one of his wives, Kausalyā, did a yàga called Aśvamedha, after which they got four sons(followed by Putrakàmèsti yàga). Medha means purification (ceremony); śva/shwa means yesterday or tomorrow;  aśva means today, now, not yesterday, nor tomorrow — that means it is eternal and the present moment. Medha also means intellect.  Aśvamedha means bringing the intellect to the present moment. Another meaning for  Aśvamedha is purifying — by being in the present moment, purifying the spirit, the senses, the body-mind complex; it’s going deep in the spirit. Daśaratha means one who can run ten chariots at a time.  Kausalyā means one who is very skilful. So, when Daśaratha and Kausalyā came together to conduct the Aśvamedha yàga, which means purifying the present moment, that is when Śrī Rāma was born. This is the spiritual significance of Śrī Rāma's birth.

भाग 2

✪ The Tri-criterion of Maliciousness

The Rāmāyaṇa is a revered text that provides valuable insights into the causation of disease and worries. Its teachings offer an opportunity to reflect on the human experience and its many challenges, both physical and emotional. By engaging with this timeless work, individuals can broaden their understanding of the world and gain new perspectives on how to achieve greater well-being. The causative factors are “kāma, lobha and Ahaṃkāra”. In Ramayana “kāma” is depicted by Kaikeyī, “lobha” by Mārīca and “ahaṃkāra” by Rāvaṇa. If any one of them was not there Rāmāyaṇa would not have happened. The sum total of the three is responsible for any disease or miseries in life. When Kāma (Kaikeyī) predominates, senses (Daśaratha) have to die. When moha (Mārīca) dominates the mind (Lakṣmaṇa) gets diverted. And when Ahaṃkāra (Rāvaṇa) takes over and controls the body (Sītā), it makes the mind (Lakṣmaṇa) and soul (Rāma) wander.

✦ The Light in My Heart

The words — rays and radiance — come from the Sanskrit root word rā, which means to shine; it also means light. ma means within me, in my heart. So, Rāma means the light in my heart. When the mind with some skill in this body gets into the present moment, and purifies the mind and the heart, then Rāma, which means the light in our heart, shines. Four things come out of you when  Aśvamedha is done: Rāma, which means the light in our heart; Lakṣmaṇa means awareness; Bharat means talent; Śatrughna means one who has no enemies. It must be mentioned that aśva has two meanings; one is the horse, and medha means purifying. So, what is the horse— Your senses. When your senses are purified, then what comes up is the divine light in your heart (Rāma) and awareness (Lakṣmaṇa). Then you have no enemies (Śatrughna), and all the talent (Bharat) comes to you. It is also noteworthy that Rāvan means ego

KHẠṆD~ Ek The Philosophical Outlook of RĀMĀYAN

𝒮ℯℊ𝓂ℯ𝓃𝓉 - 1

✤ 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑓 𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠

When medha (intellect) is so deep in the present moment, nothing can shake it. What can shake your intellect is only the past or future. If you can snap yourself out of the past and future every moment, you are free, that is liberation. The three names of Daśaratha's, queens are also very interesting. The first wife’s name is Kausalyā, which means skill. In Hindi, you say kuśalatā, meaning skilful. The second wife’s name is Sumitrā, which means good friend. Sumitrā is the one who takes you in the right direction. The third wife’s name is Kaikeyī, one who sacrifices herself and brings benevolence. Kaikeyī is the one who stands by your side; although she appears differently, but deep within, she does benevolence, with a cover. Kaikeyī apparently or outwardly may not be pleasant to you, but inwardly, she does what is good for you.

Your body is Daśarath, the ten chariots, which include the five sense organs and the five organs of action. The five sense organs are eyes, ears, nose, tongue and taste. The five organs of action or pañca-karmendriya enable us to interact with the material objects of the world; these organs are hands, feet, rectum, genitals and mouth. The five organs of sense and the five organs of action take the mind in ten different directions and make life go in ten different directions.
