There are many confluence moments in the Ramayana. All those moments later become the right path and give thanks for the onward journey. Ramayana evolves through new characters, events and narrative progression. Hence this work renders the word Ayanam, Sambodhana. This solstice is our life. Every life is this journey. Swayam Prabhagati and Swayam Prabhastuti in Adhyatma Ramayana is one such satsang and breakthrough.
Dasi Tawaham Raghupate! Rajendra!
Vasudeva! Lord! Rama! Goodness…!
Even though the Acharya’s eternal style of devotion, praise and philosophy are passed in the description that begins with, each of those words and phrases is different from the previous one.
Here is a relevant point. Bhaktiyoga is better than any other method by the Acharya himself through Prabhastuti. (Various philosophies opine that Raja Yoga and Jnana Yoga are superior.)
Prabha himself says that there are many opinions regarding the purpose of Sri Rama’s incarnation, and that he is unable to understand them all. The peculiarity of seeing one as many and seeing many in one is self-evident.
Bhakti is an experiential experience, a moment of incomparable self-realization. Only blessed souls can do that.
The pious Poonthanam, the wise Melpathur, the music emperor Thyagaraja Swami, Tulsidas and Kabirdas all achieved self-realization through devotion. Moksha is the way without any limit, system or criteria. Swayam Prabha is a holy water point in it!
