Lord Ramacandra’s glorious examples
|
Maisnam Ibohal Singh
Lord Ramacandra as the incarnation of Lord Krishna appeared directly in this world as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth Himself in His full expansion as Lord Ramacandra Himself, Laksmana, Bharata and Satrughana, as the sons of Maharaja Dasaratha in the dynasty of Maharaja Khatvanga in the Treta-yuga in response to prayers of the demigods. In that dynasty, Dirghabahu was the son of Khatvanga. Dirghabahu's son was Raghu and the son of Raghu was Aja. Maharaja Dasaratha was the son of Aja. Lord Ramacandra also appeared as the incarnation of Lord Krishna in the colour of suka, a parrot in another Dvapara-yuga as confirmed in Srimad Bhagavatam.
Sukadeva Gosvami summarized in Srimad Bhagavatam the activities of Lord Ramacandra briefly, though the Ramayana composed by Valmiki is a huge literature. This literature was unfortunately written by many present day scholars misrepresenting the original one written by tattva-darsis, as commented by many learned scholars. Lord Ramacandra married mother Sita, the incarnation of the Goddess of the fortune, Lakshmi who constantly rests on the chest of the Lord. He broke the bow, belonging to Lord Siva just as a baby elephant breaks a stick of sugarcane, in the assembly of the competing heroes of the world. Lord Ramacandra also defeated the proud Parasurama who rid the earth of the royal order twenty-one times. He fulfilled the order of His father Dasaratha who was bound by a promise to his wife Kaikeyi and left behind His kingdom to proceed to the forest of Dandakaranya for fourteen years with Sita and Laksmana, His younger brother.
Step mother, Kaikeyi requested her husband Maharaja Dasaratha to enthrone her son Bharata and send Ramacandra to the forest. Lord Ramacandra as an obedient son accepted the order of His father just as a great yogi gives up. his life without material attraction. Lord Ramacandra, carrying His invincible bow and arrows in His hand in a life of hardship, deformed Ravana's sister Surpanakha, who was polluted with lusty desires, by cutting off her nose and ears.
The ten headed Ravana having agitated by lusty desires of the beautiful and attractive features of mother Sita decided to kidnap her. He sent demon Marica in the form of a golden deer to distract Lord Ramacandra from His asrama in chasing that wonderful deer who was then killed by Him with a sharp arrow. Ravana kidnapped Sita devi while both Lord Ramacandra and Laksmana entered the forest to chase the demon Marica turned golden deer. Lord Ramacandra became distressed due to separation from His wife to whom He was so much attached. However, Lord Ramacandra is not subject to the conditions of the material world as He as the Supreme Personality of Godhead is atmarama Himself.
