Ram Rasayan

ll Hari Om ll

Abstract from English translation of Marathi discourse given by P.P. Aniruddha Bapu on 27th September 2007at New English High School, Bandra

"A versefrom “Hanuman Chalisa” tells us,

“Ram Rasayana Tumhare Pasa, Sada Raho Raghupati Ke Dasa”. “Ram Rasayan”.

The word “Rasayan” in Sanskrit is related to “Ayurveda” (a Hindu science of medicine) See Yogindra, am I right or not? Because he is an “Ayurvedacharya” (Doctor in Ayurvedic science), I am not. Then the meaning of the word “Rasayan”, for the common people, is that it is a medicine that has the capacity to cure the imbalance created in the three humours (the phlegm, the bile and the wind) in the body. It has the capacity to curethe disease, the bad condition created by the imbalance. And here, “Ram Rasayan TumharePasa”- what we understand is that Hanumant has got that “Ram Rasayan” with him and he distributes it to people and “Naasai Rog Hare Sab Peera Japata Nirantara Hanumat Beera”.“Naasai Rog Hare Sab Peera”- “Ram Rasayan” is that which removes all ailments and all diseases and it is with Hanumant. “Sada Raho Raghupati Ke Dasa” means therefore Hanumant you shall remain the ‘das’ (servant) of Raghupati. No, this is not the meaning. Ihave told you its meaning several times in my pravachans. I am telling it to you again -“Ram Rasayan Tumhare Pasa, Sada Raho Raghupati Ke Dasa” What is its meaning? “SadaRaho Raghupati Ke Dasa”- this itself is “Ram Rasayan”. “Sada Raho Raghupati Ke Dasa”means our being a servant of Ram itself is Rasayan”. And with whom is it? Who is the greatest of all servants of Ram? It is Hanumant. 

But when I find that you all have appeared for the Saisatcharita exams, many have appeared for the 5th exam, but if some lines were asked from it, or some words, nobody could remember it and there Hemadpant has written a wonderful line “Ram Kathecha Hachi Mahima Tithe Vighnanche Na Chale Garima”. The glory of Ramkatha is that wherever Ram katha is going on there can be no obstacles there. Obstacles can come, it does not mean that obstacles cannot come. If they come they have no effect on us or its effect on us is very negligible. According to Prarabdha (destiny) if the demerits thus acquired is 100 grams then due to the Ram katha being done it will come down to 0.1 percent or 1 percent, it is all because of Ram’s grace and Hanumant’s grace. To read Ramkatha, means to read the stories Ram inSanskrit, is very difficult for us. Even to read Tulsidas Ramayan is very difficult and lengthy for us. In today’s world we are not ready to read “Sunderkand” and Ramkatha which is so beautiful, what about it? “Ramkathecha Hachi Mahima, Tithe Vighnache Na Chale Garima”-then what does one do? Such a thought came to one’s mind and that “one” then decided towrite “Ramkatha” himself and that “one” is Myself. In this world, I am the only “One”. I have written the “Ramkatha”. The name of that “Ramkatha” is “Ram Rasayan”.

 

Just imagine it is of 240 pages only. .It is in the form of a ‘pothi’ (religious book). These 240 pages can be read easily; even if one reads it very slowly it can be read in about two and half hours. It is written and printed in a completely different manner. The first photo itself is very beautiful. It’s my Father’s photo. Correct? And there are at the most five to six lines on a page. At many places it is filled with pictures. And for these pictures there was a big team working on it for many days. There was lot of hue and cry at the time of making the pictures- not this, not that. It should be like this, it should be like that and that is how Swapnilsinh Dattopadhye got these beautiful pictures done. Since he is my son-in-law I did not shout at him. Keep this in mind, these beautiful

pictures are related to the story given there so that the sentences you are going to read ahead of it should be all properly nurtured in your mind. It will come to our notice, there are very few lines on each page but all the events given are true and are of great importance right from Ram’s birth to the coronation ceremony of Ram as King. All these stories we will read, it will be implanted in our minds, it will grow and develop in our minds, all these aspects are there in it and most importantly each line is ‘mantramay’ (like a mantra). Eachword is “mantramay’. There are many mantras in it. Right from “Ramo Rajamani SadaVijayate” there are many mantras at various places.But along with that we should know that each sentence and the each word in it is ‘mantramay’. Since each word, each letter and even the space between them is ‘mantramay’ whenever we will read it from the very bottom of our heart and lovingly then this complete Ramkatha transforms into Ram Rasayan and seeps in our life and I am giving you this Assurance. It’s because the One who is standing behind me with a club in his hand (Hanumant) has entered this “Ram Rasayan”. This book is actually my protector Hanumant.We shall read this book, we can read it at home, we can read it in the bus, in the train, in the car. We can read in the car even when wearing chappals. We can read it at night. But we have to read it because while reading it the Ramkatha will assume its form in before me. If we doze off while reading it then it is meaningless. But if we read it lovingly, attentively then every incident in it will assume its form before our eyes and while continuing to do so one day certainly you will get Ram in his entirety in your life- “Akhand Ram Ladhal”. The situation in the eleventh Chapter of Sai Satcharitra will automatically appear in our life. And once Ram appears in our life then Ramrajya will be established. Whether there is Ramrajyain the outside world or not is immaterial, Ramrajya must come in my life. We must resolve this in our mind. And I am determined to see that every person who has come to me gets Ramrajya in their lives. Those who have come and gone, not for them, no, not at all. It’s only for those who have come and stayed with me with love and faith."

 

"In Navratri, I have always been telling you that reading of of Ramkatha is the most beautiful thing. It is good on other days too. We remember Ram only Ramnavami. But we should know that it is more important to remember Ram in Navratri than on Ramnavami, the birth of Ram. Because on Dasera Ram gained victory, Ram had killed Ravan. Instead of burning somestatue of Ravana and clapping, it is better we sit down and try to read, make an effort toread “Ram Rasayan” then Ravan will definitely be killed. Our “Mahavakya” (Pledge of Honour) is-

 “Yuddha Majha Ram Karnar | Samartha Dattaguru Mool Aadhar |Mee Sainik Vanaar Sachaar |Ravana Marnar Nishchit”

(“My Ram will wage war. Self sufficient Dattaguru is the origin, the basis.A soldier I am in word and deed. Ravana will die. Yes he will. )".

"We must read “Ram Rasayan” for us because “Ram Rasayan” not only uplifts us but it also uplifts our ancestors. It uplifts our future generations as well. This “Ram Rasayan” is now in our hands. There is no need to look for any auspicious moment for chanting Ram’s name. On the contrary, there is not any better time for chanting Ram’s name than a time which is the most inauspicious or a moment which is the worst. Ramnaam is such that the more inauspicious the moment is, the better it is because then Ramnaam works more powerfully and effectively to drive away the evil! Because in that situation only,  Ramnaam works at a greater speed and with far greater effect. We are going to read “Ram Rasayan” and not just keep it after reading it but shall go on reading it lovingly as and when we get time, then the entire Ramayan, entire Ram will definitely enter our life, our mind and our ‘pran’."
