SARVE JANA SUKHINO BHAVANTHU.

When Lord Srirama was in childhood , and at an age where he was just picking up new words.

One day , Kousalaya Devi was feeding Lord Srirama, she asked the child Srirama , what’s is your name ? . He replied “” Lamulu”” . She then asked : what is your father’s name? He replied “” Dasatha Malalu” . She then asked , what is your mothers name ? He thought for a second and replied “” Ammagaru”” . She then asked him again and again he gave the same reply . She then forced him to say Kousalya . He didn’t relent he replied “” Ammagaru ””.

Lord Srirama taught all of us not to call our mother by any another name including her own maiden name , other than “” Amma””. The Ma syllable emanating out of Amma is the makaara in mantram that denotes or emanates the sound OMkaram the Pranavam the origin of Life .

Parvathy asked: - “ Oh, God of all beings, I would very much love to know from you, the greatness of Sundara Kanda in detail.” Sri Parameshwara replied: - “I would summarize the greatness of Sundara Kanda for you, because to tell in detail, only the great Lord Ramachandra is capable. Similar to the fact that God Rama is the greatest among Devas, similar to the fact that Kalpaga tree is greatest among trees, similar to the fact that the Kousthubha gem is greatest among gems, in Ramayana, Sundara Kanda is the greatest chapter. By reading or listening to Sundara Kanda with devotion, all the wishes are fulfilled, all dangers will vanish, all diseases will be cured and all types of wealth will grow.

Happy hanuman Jayanthi

Significance of sunderkanda as narrated by Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvathy

There was a great city called Kanchipuram in the earth and once upon a time it was ruled by Chola dynasty. Among those kings, there was a great king called Vamsankara who lived with his wife Manorama, He gave very many charities and did several fire sacrifices. He was devoted to the great temple of the city, which included the great Temple of Kamakshy and Ekamranatha and the temple of Varadaraja and ruled the state with efficiency. Unfortunately he was not blessed by any children. Once coming out of the temple of Kamakshy he saw a great sage entering the temple. He worshipped that sage and when enquired introduced himself. The sage asked him, in what way he would be able to help him and the king requested him to bless him to become a father. The sage told the king, that “In your previous birth you were a saintly Brahmin who lived in Rameswaram and worshipped in the temple daily .As a result you are born as the king of this country, Unfortunately in your previous birth, you did not allow your daughter to join her husband and become a mother due to some family conflict. This is the reason why you are not able to become a father.” He then requested the king and the queen to observe strict penance, give gold and silver as charities to Brahmins, and worship Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva daily. The king and the queen followed his advice and as a result a good son was born to them. They named him Balachandra and the prince grew up as an extremely learned and able man. When he became old, the king decided to give his kingdom to his son and make him his successor and retire to the forest. Unfortunately the terrible disease of Tuberculosis afflicted Balachandra. In spite of treatment by the foremost expert doctors of the world and daily prayers the prince was not cured. When the king and queen were terribly worried and knew not what to do, the sage who had earlier blessed them with the child came again to that city. The king and the Queen fell at his feet and requested him to cure the disease of the prince. The sage told, “ In his previous birth, your son stole the materials kept ready for the worship of Rama and enjoyed life and that is why he is cursed with this disease. But later realizing his sin, he daily read Ramayana and worshipped Rama and that is why he has been born to you. I would tell you, how to get rid of the effects of that sin. ” The king thanked him and wanted to know in detail as to what should be done. The sage replied, “ Construct a decorated Yaga sala and in its middle construct a square platform. Spread a white silk cloth in that stage. On that cloth, spread six measures of Paddy and on that half the quantity of raw rice. On that keep a golden vessel made of one pound of silver full of pearls. Cover that vessel with a silk cloth. On that keep a gold plate in which the Sri Rama Yantra is drawn. Over that keep the golden statue of Sri Rama accompanied by Sita and Hanuman. Worship this statue using Rama Sahasranamavali. Then read the entire Sundara Kanda. This worship and reading should start in the early morning and end at noon. A non fading ghee lamp also should be kept burning for 68 days and the above procedure should be repeated 68 times. On each day, Payasam should be prepared and offered to God Rama. Though this is the best, completing the repetition 68 times can also be done in four months. It is best for the individual himself to read the Sundara Kanda, and it is of medium effect if it is got read by single Brahmin, and worse if it is got read by many Brahmins. After completing the above, The Yudha Kanda should be completely read either by 5 or 6 days. All the 73 days, in the evening a great scholar should retell the stories of Sundara Kanda. This would cure even diseases which Aswini Devas (Doctors of Gods) cannot cure. This also could help you win a war or even help you in getting occult powers, if your son does this, his disease would definitely get cured.” That sage then disappeared.

The king performed the above worship and the prince himself read the Sundara Kanda daily and was fully cured of the disease.

Lord Shiva said , Hey Devi, just by reading Sundara Kanda 68 times the prince was cured of a terrible disease. There are also many others who got rid of their illness by reading Sundara Kanda. So even if one is poor or not physically able, he should observe the Vritha of Sundara Kanda and get benefited.

The story of squirrel

After the abduction of Sita, Lord Rama along with this army of monkey and bears starts making a bridge over the sea that would connect them to Lanka. Lord Rama was triumphant to see the passion, dedication and energy level of his army towards the construction of the bridge. A little squirrel was picking up a pebble in her mouth and putting it near the boulders. She did it repeatedly and effortlessly.
Just then, a monkey noticed her and started making fun of her. He told her to stay away lest a boulder crush her . Hearing this, everyone started making fun of her. The squirrel was in tears. Lord Rama was noticing all this from a distance.

The squirrel went to Lord Rama and complained about everyone to him. Lord Rama then demonstrated to the Army how the pebble thrown by the squirrel has worked as the connector between the two boulders. Even her contribution is as valuable as the other members of the army.
Acknowledging the squirrel’s effort, Lord Rama stroked the squirrel’s back. The stroking left the marks of his finger on the body of the squirrel. Since then, the squirrels have carried white stripes on their body. This is one of the interesting short stories from Ramayana .

Happy Gurupurnima to all of you .

Sage Vashishta led Lord Rama in the journey of Righteousness, Valour and Dharma .

Sage Vishwamitra led him to sharpen his skills at an early age and played a crucial role in his wedding to Goddess Sita .

Vibhishana became his friendly guru in the killing of Ravana. Lord Hanuman made Lord Rama his divine Guru . Sage Agastya became his Guru extolling Lord’ Surya s divine powers and helped him pray to Suryadeva when Ravana was not giving up in the battle .

May our Sadhguru bless us on this holy day of gurupurnima and special prayers to one and all for overcoming these unprecedented times

When Vishwamitra asked King Dasharatha to send Rama with him, Dasharatha refused to send Rama with him to fight demons as he thought that Rama was very young and promised that instead of Rama, he will come along with his entire army. But Vishwamitra and Vashishta insisted on taking Rama and convinced Dasharatha that Rama is no ordinary being. Dasharatha eventually agreed to send Rama and also Lakshmana to take care of his brother and the sage. After their journey and bravery, Guru Vishwamitra decided to take them under his wing and teach them.

He gave his two most powerful Shastras, ‘Bala‘ and ‘Atibala’ to both Rama and Lakshmana. With these Shastras, they will never get exhausted and demons cannot hurt them even when they are asleep. (This is exactly how Lakshmana stayed awake for fourteen years during their exile and he didn’t eat anything all these years).Vishwamitra also taught Rama about everything about wars and weapons that he got as boons for his penance.

With all the knowledge they gained, Rama and Lakshmana killed the demons (Tataka, Subhahu, and others) who were torturing sages while they were performing rituals. All the sages and gods were at peace knowing that the disturbances caused by these demons are over. This ‘peace of mind’ is the guru Dakshina Lord Rama offered to his guru.

The ever-curious Hanuman once saw Sita adorning her forehead with vermilion. Hanuman asked, “Sita Mata, why are putting vermillion on your forehead?” Sita was amused by the curiosity of Hanuman and answered, “I apply it to ensure the long life of Lord Rama.” Listening to this, Hanuman smeared his whole body with vermillion. Lord Rama was so amused that he burst into laughter. He called Hanuman close to him, and said, “I am amazed by your love and devotion towards me, and from now on, people will also know you as Bajrangbali.” “Bajrang” in the word Bajrangbali means orange.

Lord Rama was born in the "Ikshvaku" dynasty, which was founded by "King Ikshvaku", son of Lord Surya. That is why Lord Rama is also called "Suryavanshi".


The relation between Surya and Lord Rama goes through the entire Ramayana . It is the famous Aditya hridyam that inspired Rama to kill Ravana


When Lord Ram killed Ravan and handed over the Lanka kingdom to Sri Vibhisan, everywhere it was joy and gaiety, Lord Ram decided to return to Shri Ayodhya puri with his confident companions and friends.

When Lord Rama reached Ayodhya, it was celeberation all over,after all for the residents of Ayodhya Lord Ram was not just a King but He was their LIFE and SOUL,for them each moment was like a 12 year span, they did not enjoyed any luxury, sacrificing all the comfort because their Supreme father was in exile.

So when they got the news they forgot themselves, the entire Ayodha was jubilant, not only the people but also the demigods were celebrating the moment.

At that time Sun God was about to set , when He saw the All attractive and All pleasing Lord Ram He was so much attracted that he just stood gazing and felt in trance and forgot that it was his setting time.

In this way a month passed away and it was day all over and people were so much enjoying the celebration that they did not feel that a month has passed ,they never wanted this celebration to end, and on the other side the moon god was nervous and impatient to have darshan of Lord Ram.

Lord Ram was just smiling at all this.

Only He knew that 30 days have passed, sun god came to his consciousness and hurriedly left on his chariot toward west,and by the mercy of Lord that 30 day duration just turned into a 24 hours duration day, and no one felt it.

Lord was about to proceed toward His palace, and up in the sky the moon god was very sad and pale, because He missed this spellbound Lila of Lord Ram.

Lord Ram knew the desire of moon god, so He asked what was the matter ?

At this, Moon,replied “My Lord what sin I have done that everyone else enjoyed your arrival except me, you are Karunasindhu, and equal to all, then why sun got opportunity to have your darshan and why not me?”.

At this Lord Ram replied”My dear Moon,I know your wish. Don’t lament I will certainly fulfil your desire, but not this time, In my next incarnation, as Krishna, I will appear on FULL MOON day,and then you can satisfy your desire by enjoying my ALL Attractive and All Pleasing appearance, and also you will be glorified.”


Lord Ram came in as Suryavanshi (Surya Chandra ) where as Lord Krishna ( Rama Chandra ) appeared in Chandravansh what a mercy !
