How Tulsidas described Lord Ram’s birth in Ramcharitmanas| India News

Published by Parlour News

Ram Navami has just been celebrated. On this occasion, my thoughts go to the beautifully lyrical way in which Tulsidas (1532–1623), in the Ramcharitmanas, describes this iconic moment. Tulsi was a committed Ram bhakt. In fact, he was to Ram what Surdas was to Krishna. Anyone less than such a complete and unwavering devotee could not have written the Ramcharitmanas. The epic, written in Avadhi—an easily comprehensible language in north India—is still sung and recited by millions upon millions. The unprecedented popularity of the Manas led the historian Vincent Smith to call Tulsidas the greatest man of his age in India, greater even than Akbar himself, of whom the poet was a contemporary. On Ram Navami, delve into Tulsidas’ timeless narration of Ram’s journey (Getty) Tulsidas describes the time and milieu of the Lord’s birth with precision and lyrical aplomb: Naumi tithi madhu maasa punita; Sakala paccha Abhijita Hariprita; Madhyadivasa ati seeta na ghaama; Pavana kala loka bishrama It was the ninth day of the waxing moon (sakala—bright half) of the sacred month of Chaitra; …

Published by Webster

New Delhi: At a serious military briefing, one doesn’t expect high literature and text from epics to be quoted by a battle-hardened air warrior to drive home a point. Director General of Air Operations, IAF, Air Marshal A K Bharti, though stunned and captivated a large gathering of generally cynical journalists by quoting a couplet from Ramcharitmanas to expound on Lord Ram’s patience and anger at the Sea God. Without reading from any paper, the Air Marshal fluently recited the couplet — ‘Vinay Na Manat Jaldhi Jad, Bhaye Teen Din Beet, Bole Ram Sakop Tab, Bhay Binu Hoi Na Preeti’. Translated in English, the couplet reads, “The ocean remained unmoved by humble requests, three days passed. Then Lord Rama, with rising anger, declared without fear, there can be no love.” This couplet refers to the time when Lord Rama waiting for the Sea God to grant him the passage to Lanka loses patience after three days and becomes angry. He declares that love does not exist without fear and lifts his bow. Only then does …

The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the criminal proceedings against Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya over his alleged comments on Ramcharitamanas, a sacred text authored by Tulsidas in the Awadhi language based on the epic Ramayana. Issuing a notice on a plea by Maurya challenging the October 31, 2023 Allahabad High Court order refusing to quash the legal proceedings initiated against him in connection with the case, the court also questioned the stand of the Uttar Pradesh government. “Why do you have to be so touchy?” Justice Gavai asked the UP counsel. Justice Mehta further said that “it is a matter of interpretation. Plain and simple” and asked “how is it an offence?” Though the state pointed out that copies of the holy book were burnt following Maurya’s comments, Justice Mehta said “he cannot be held responsible for that. It’s a line of thought”. The high court had rejected his contention that the case was politically motivated and held that it prima facie appeared he incited people to start a rebellion. Source link
