The Path To Freedom

Yes, when you are in Ram Rajyau, you will experience total freedom. What else will you be, but free, when you have dropped all the cares in the world for the Lord to handle ? Ram Rajya is the rule, thus, their are no rules. People are free to do what they please. They, therefore, always do things that will not only be beneficial to them alone, but all of mankind. They are kind, considerate, helpful, sincere and most of all honest. That is why, freedom prevails in Ram Rajya.

It is my earnest desire to bring the rule of Ram in our lives. Day to day monitoring of our thoughts and deeds will get us there. So, we shall plod along while listening to the epic poem by Tulsidas the Ram Charitra Manas the way I understand it. He will be our beacon,who will describe to us in the end, the rule in Raghukul, the real Ram Rajya!! Maybe our Ram Rajya by then, will be akin to the real one!!! Who knows?

Continuing with our story, king Vedeha(Janak) thanked his lucky stars while beholding the feet of the sage Vishvamitra. The two brothers, one fair and the other dark in hue delighted the king, in fact, they were as if, the delight of delight itself. The king declared to the sage, how the two brothers had this guileless love that could not be defined, and they complimented each other as Brahman (the Supreme Being) and Jeeva (the individual soul) The king could not stop gazing at the Lord while his heart overflowed with joy and the hair on his body stood on end.

Extolling the virtues of the sage and bowing at his feet, king Janak brought him and the two brothers to his capital. Finding a beautiful and comfortable palace, the king lodged them there. After taking care of all their needs and paying homage to the sage, the king returned to his own palace.

Lord Shri Ram and His brother Lakshman dined with the sage, and then sat around, for the day was not done yet. JAI HO!
