Ramayana - Bhakthi Rasam
Ramayana is a soulful joy - full of values and ample scope for reflection.
"Shravanam - Mananam - Nidhidhyasanam" ==> the steps to practice as per vedantic principles, could easily be applied here. Once learnt / heard, there is lots of reflection of the same to be followed.
These sets of recordings focus the mananam part, having seen the episodes again and again, concentrating on specific aspects of our day to day life, that inspire me.
One such key theme is Bhakthi - loosely translated as "Devotion". I always wondered how and what is Bhakthi, when seeing great Bhakthas of the ancient and Indian history. How they, themselves, being great saints and personnel in their space, happened to be true Bhakthas. Veera Hanuman, Bhaktha Prahlada, Maa Yashoda, Gopikas, Trimurthis of Karnatak Sangeet - hearing of their stories amazes me - each of them are inspiring and authoritative souls but they were humble Bhakthas propagating their Guru's teachings and principles.
This recording is about one such evolution - how in Ramayana, through the happenings, I see the evolution of Bhakthi - what is the route map! Don't get me wrong - this is not an analysis, through head, but a heartfelt feeling. from my heart and emotion. Bharatha, the inspirer in this case!!!
Enjoy the episode and please write back to me, for feedback - I shall be blessed - Jai Shri Ram!!
Humbly yours
Ganesan
