  • Realize Brahman Reality Through Rama Kalyana Gunas Attributes

    Realize Brahman Reality Through Rama Kalyana Gunas Attributes

    According to Sanatan Dharma, Reality is a Principle to be Realised by an individual. Reality is beyond Attributes , can not be explained ,can not be reached through Mind/Intellect.Reality can not be Known. It can only be experienced,just as you experience Hunger,Pain or Pleasure.

    This is the Ultimate Truth as enunciated in the Vedas.

    Truth may be one thing, but our coming to terms with it, is a different proposition altogether.We, as human beings are limited by our Mind, especially the two spectacles of Space and Time,that condition Mind.So, our mind is limited. Try speaking about without reference to Space and Time.I have not deliberately used ‘Try speaking about a Thing’, because Space concept is used here to refer to something.The same Logic for Time.

    Sanatan Dharma does not simply suggest something to follow as a Dogma. As the goal of Sanatan Dharma is to understand Reality and the means to Salvation,what Sanatan Dharma teaches should be followable. However, Truth need not conform to our Limitations.It exists. So the process to realise It, need not be through instrument which we think is sufficient. It is not.I refer to our Mind.

    How to marry these two concepts?

    Sanatan Dharma suggests, though the Reality is A Principle and can not be apprehended by cognitive processes, Sanatana Dharma offers a unique solution.

    That of Worship of personal Gods.The concept of Iswara, personal God,one comes across in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra as Iswara Pranidhana. The concept of God is useful because it is easy to Focus your Mind on something which has a Name and Form And one ascribes qualities in Absuloute Terms.And also the Ascribed Qualities and Forms are those one loves .Thus was formed the Saguna Aradhana in Hinduism.Once your mind is focussed on the individual God,you become immersed in that and become one with it, emotionally.Difference between Perceiver,Perceived and The Process of Perception , disappears and Reality is experienced,shorn of Attributes.

    Thus one Finds in Sri. Rama, a short cut to Realize Brahman, One Beyond Attributes.

    As explained above, sixteen Attributes are attributed to Sri Rama. And these sixteen Attributes are in perfect, in Full measure, Auspicious.These are the Kalyana Gunas of Sri Rama.Valmiki in Balakanda of Ramayana had listed them. They are provided below.

  • Sri Rama is Krishna’s Paternal Cousin

    Sri Rama is Krishna’s Paternal Cousin

    History of India starts with two Dynasties,both had sprung from Vaiwaswatha Manu.The Suryavansh,the Solar Dynasty was founded by Manu’s son, Ikshvaku , while the Chandravansh Lunar Dynasty was by Ila, daughter of Manu.So , Solar and Lunar dynasties are related by blood.

    There is then the Yadava Dynasty, to which Sri Krishna belongs.The Dynasty is named after Yadu. ‘Yadu is one of the five Indian tribes (panchajana, panchakrishtya or panchamanusha) mentioned in the Rig Veda. Krishna is the descendant of Yadu from Vedic tribe’https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yadu

    An interesting fact is that Sri Rama’s ancestor, Mandhata was married to a Yadu princess.

    Krishna’s Family Tree

    ‘Mandhatri or Mandhata (Sanskrit: मान्धातृ, Māndhātṛ), in Hindu mythology, was an Ikshvaku dynasty king and son of Yuvanashva.[1] He married Bindumati Chaitrarathi, daughter of Yadava king Shashabindu and granddaughter of Chitraratha.[2] Source. Wikipedia Mandhatri.

    Thus,Sri Krishna is related to Sri Rama . Krishna’s Ancestor Chaitravathi was married to Mandhata,Sri Rama’s Ancestor.

    Thus Sri Rama is related to Krishna as Krishna’s Great Aunt’s descendant ( removed by Thirty Seven generations.

  • Ravana Parashuram Lived 340000 Years Before Sri Rama

    Ravana Parashuram Lived 340000 Years Before Sri Rama

    The lineage of Sri Rama, Surya vansh,Solar Dynasty makes interesting reading for those interested in Researching Sanatana Dharma. As is known Sri Rama belongs to Solar Dynasty ,founded by Ikshvaku who was the son of Manu ,first human being. Manu also had a daughter called Ela who founded the Lemuria Empire of Chandra Vamsa. I shall write an article the importance of this fact to determine the date of Tamils. I had written about Lemuria, home of Tamils being 230 Million years old.

    Now in this article let me explore the kings who preceded Sri Rama and their contemporaries.

    Puthra kameshti yagnya. Rama was born after performing the yagnya

    And even among these kings, let us explore one king at a time.

    Mandhata. He was the Seventeenth King in the Lineage of Solar Dynasty. Sri Rama was the Fifty first in that Line.Mandhatha and Sri Rama were separated by eighteen Kings.

    Ravana was a contemporary of Mandhata.( The hypothesis that there were more than one Ravana does not stand scrutiny of one checks Ramayana, Mahabharata and Purana)

    Now Ravana was killed by Sri Rama .

    This means Ravana was living about 3,40,000 Years before Sri Rama and Parashuram was his contemporary.

    Average lifespan of Humans was, in Tretha Yuga, 10,000 years. Tretha Yuga lasts for 1,296,000 human years.

    So Ravana and Parashuram preceded Sri Rama by about 3,40,000 years.

    To the sceptics, it is not improbable for people to have such a long Lifespan and their technology Superior to us. I have sufficient material saved in Pinterest from credible sources to doubt our understanding of our ancient history .

    And Historical Anamolies which we can not wish away with.

    The information in Puranas and Ithihasas check out when one cross checks geography ,flora and fauna, and references in Regional languages like Tamil and ancient information found around the world.

    ‘As Mandhata grew old, he was having pride of his strength and desired to entirely conquer Swarga, the heavenly regions ruled by Indra. Indra was perturbed by this and told Mandhata that he had not completely conquered the earth. Indra told Mandhata that the Asura Lavana, the son of Madhu and Ravana, the king of Lanka were not a subject to his rule. As he knows he cannot pardon Indra’s request as his son, he goes to Madhupuri. Reference and citation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandhatri

    The Rama people of Nicaragua speak a language called Rama Language.

    The Rama language is severely endangered. Their language was described as “dying quickly for lack of use” as early as the 1860s (Pim & Seemann 1869:280). By 1980, the Rama were noted as having “all but lost their original ethnic language”, and had become speakers of a form of English creole instead (Craig 1990:293). In 1992, only approximately 36 fluent speakers could be found among an ethnic population of 649 individuals in 1992 (Craig 1992). The number of speakers on Rama Cay island was only 4 in 1992. There have been several language revitalization efforts. The fieldwork for the first dictionary of Rama was done during this time by Robin Schneider, a graduate student from the University of Berlin (Rigby & Schneider 1989).It is spoken in Honduras and Nicaragua

    Personal pronounsIndependentPrefixI, menaas, nan-you (sg.)maam-he/him, she/her, ityaingi-, y-we, usnsutnsu-you (pl.)mlutm- -lutthey, themanutan-

    The independent pronouns are often used as subjects: Nah tawan ki aakar “I live in Bluefields” (I town in stay), Maa kalma apaakut? “Can you sew a dress?” (you dress sew-IRREALIS), Yaing taaki “He/She is going”. They may also be complements of postpositions: Naing airung ning nguu ki aakar nah u “My mother lives in this house with me” (my mother this house in stay I with), maa kang “from you“, Walsa anut su tabiu “The tiger came out at them” (tiger they at came-out). Note that -ut changes to -ul before a vowel, for example in nsul u “with us”.

    The prefix forms of the pronouns are used as subject prefixes with verbs: Neli aa nitangu “I gave it to Nelly” (Nelly OBJECT I-gave), Tamaik suulikaas niaukut “Tomorrow I will cook some meat” (tomorrow meat I-will-cook), Taa u mtaaku? “With whom did you go?” (who with you-went), Itaaku “he/she went”, Ipang su ansiiku “They came to the island” (island in they-came). In the second person plural, m- is prefixed and -lut suffixed to the verb.

    Rama is one of the indigenous languages of the Chibchan family spoken by the Rama people on the island of Rama Cay and south of lake Bluefields on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Other indigenous languages of this region include Miskito and Sumu (Craig 1992). Rama is one of the northernmost languages of the Chibchan family (Craig 1990:293).

    Their Ethnicity is Rama.

    It is essential ,in the light of the presence of Rama name in some aspect of the Lives of the people around the world,while no other name seems of ancients have been as much popular,and now in The form of a language as Rama Language, that detailed Research is undertaken to unravel the history of Rama around the world.

  • Rama With One Wife Krishna With More What is Morality

    Recently I was asked, at a Dinner,why while Lord Rama is venerated because of his loyalty to his wife,his vow and devotion to his wife,Eka Patni vrata,we also venerate Lord Vishnu who has two wives,Sri Devi and Bhoo Devi.

    Is this not a contradiction?

    What ,then, is Morality?

    Which is morally correct?

    Concepts of Hinduism are complex and it needs a thorough understanding of the Vedas ,the six systems of Indian philosophy, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana Mahabharata,Eighteen Puranas and Indian regional language texts.

    Indian philosophy is the foundation is the rock on which Hindu practices are built upon.

    Reality,Brahman, according to Vedas,the scriptures of the Hindus, is a Principle devoid of Qualities or Attributes.

    We Attribute qualities so that we can comprehend and Realize It.

    We,our minds,are limited by Space and Time.

    We can not conceive of anything without reference to these two.

    On the modern scientific side, especially Astrophysics ,one can not really comprehend Stellar Distances,which are calculated in Light years and AU,Astronomical Units.

    We have only a vague idea that it is huge.

    For more on Time,please read my articles on Time,by Googling Time+ramanan50.

    However in the path to Realisation of Brahman,Reality,A Principle,Hinduism, knowing the limitations of Human mind ,has devised a method.

    That of Worship of Gods.

    In a way human mind can understand it.

    That is by bestowing the Reality with Perfect Human Attributes.

    This is the beginning Stage of Self Realization.

    This is called Saguna Aradhana,Worship of Reality with Attributes.

    The Mind,to be divested of its innumerable thought waves,has to be deceived.

    When mind believes,it can make things Happen.

    So eventhough Reality is a Principle,it also can appear as personal God as one believes and meditates upon.

    That is why we have God experiences.

    Hindu,Vedic texts provide minimum three meanings.

    Literal,Symbolic representing Abstract Truth,and esoteric Tantra,Mantra.

    Some texts provide more than three meanings.

    The Concept of the Three Primary Deities,Brahma,Vishnu and Rudra are to be understood.

    Universe is Motion and it is the Ultimate cause Science can unmask.

    There are three types of Energy .

    That is Energy at Rest.

    Potential.

    When it is in Motion,it is Kinetic.

    One more is Energy at Rest,while allowing for some Movement,Kinetics.

    It is Potentio Kinetic.

    Brahma,Potentio Kinetic,

    Vishnu, Kinetic and

    Rudra a combination of both.

    Rudra is an aspect of Siva,while Vishnu is an aspect of Narayana.

    Brahma is the cause.

    Vishnu is the Sustainer.

    The term Vishnu is from the root Jishnu,that which Supports.

    ‘Vishnum Jishnum Mahavishnum Prabhavishnum Maheswaram’ -Vishnu Sahasranama.

    For supporting Life, Consciousness,one needs sustanence.

    This , during Life,in the Form of Health,Wealth…sixteen things.

    Beyond Life, support is provided by Vishnu as Govinda.

    The term Govinda is used for ceremonies conducted after Death.

    As a concept of Vishnu,He sustains the Universe.

    Earth supports.

    This is not enough to sustain and nurture Life.

    Earth is allegorically called as Bhudevi.

    Other things needed for Life is represented by Sri,also called Sri Devi.

    To explain the concept of Vishnu with necessary support systems, Vishnu is represented as having been married to Bhu Devi and Sri Devi.

    Sri,an explanation.

    Sri has a core meaning of “diffusing light or radiance or eminence”, related to the root śrā“to cook, boil”, but as a feminine abstract noun, it has received a general meaning of “grace, splendour, beauty; wealth, affluence, prosperity”.(Wiki)

    However at the Ultimate level,there is no Sin,Nothing Sacred.

    PS.This is a philosophical explanation.

    However, I have found, during my research into Hindu texts and events,these events may be Real.
