Consolation!šŸ¤

As Sitā lamented profusely, a demon who was a royal guard came to Rāvan with his palms joined & said-O noble lord! Army chief Prahasta together with other ministers has come & wants to see you in urgency. Hearing this, Rāvan left Ashoka Garden hurriedly to meet them. As he left, the illusory head & bow also vanished lying in front of Sitā

Prahasta informed that Rām with his army is now at Lankā gates. Listening to this, Rāvan deliberated with his ministers as to what action should be pursued & entered council-chambers to issue commands in accordance with the knowledge he possessed of Rām’s forces. He consulted with his best advisors on what measures needs to be adopted & said-By a sound of drum, summon all my forces but do not tell them the reason for which I’m calling. As per his words, a huge army of demons assembled longing to fight

Meanwhile, seeing bewildered Sitā, Vibhishana’s wife Sarama, approached her to console. The affectionate Sarama who was kindhearted, found Sitā stupefied & just risen after rolling in dust & thus soiled. She consoled virtuous Sitā & said-Be comfortable, don’t get perturbed. I’ve overheard Rāvan’s words & what you said as well. I also analyzed why Rāvan has gone away agitated. I decipher that it’s impossible to attack Rām, man of self-awareness, while he’s asleep, let alone kill him

It is also not possible to kill even Vānaras, who are protected by Rām & by celestials too. They are invincible & can’t be decimated as Rāvan said. Rām, endowed with long & well-rounded arms, large-chested, with great energy, a well- known archer, endowed with muscularity, righteous minded, of eternal strength, is protector for himself & others. Together with his brother Laxman, who is of high descent, a killer of enemy forces, man of inconceivable strength & valor & an annihilator of adversaries, has not been killed

A trickery has been held by cruel Rāvan, a conjurer who is perverse in thinking & action and enemy of all beings. Your sorrow is now gone once for all. An all-pervading auspiciousness awaits you & prosperity will attend you soon. Hear me!

To console others, we need intelligence & keen observation of the facts which leads to extreme distress. Thorough analysis & presentation of the facts consoles the other person & helps him cope up

Also, when we lose faith on the Supreme Lord, Mayā (the illusory energy) captures us & takes us on a roller-coaster ride to bewilder us. Be dovetailed to him & stay secured without any fear

  Never Fall down!   Arjun released an Agni weapon that brightly lit up entire sky. Karna invoked a Varuna weapon that quenched the fire by creating clouds with a Vayavya weapon & then released a favourite weapon of Indra that made thousands of arrows issues forth from his G ā ndiva bow   While being pierced all over, Karna countered Aindra weapon with a Bh ārgava weapon & proceeded to kill many of the foremost Pāncāla warriors. Seeing this, Bhima’s anger blazed up like fire. He chastised his brother by saying: O Arjun, how can you allow these great warriors to be killed within your very sight? Please remember how Karna had insulted Draupadi? Give up your indifference & kill him without delay!   Sri Krsna said: Dear Arjun, you must exert your full prowess now, if need be, you can take help from my Sudarshan Cakra!   After momentarily considering the purpose of his appearance in this world, Arjun replied: Lord, with your permission as ...

  Make or break!   When Salya agreed to drive Karna’s chariot only on condition that he must be allowed to speak freely whatever he likes, Duryodhana and Karna readily agreed & thus a contract was made. Duryodhana flattered Salya by comparing him to Lord Brahmā, who formerly became Shiva’s charioteer at the time of destroying Tripura   Duryodhana concluded his long talk by saying: Dear Salya, Parasurāma delivered the entire science of weapons to Karna. Therefore, we must intelligently conclude that Karna cannot really be a sutā’s son. He must be the offspring of a demigod born in a Kshatriya family & then abandoned at infancy. Otherwise, why would Parasurāma agreed to instruct him in the complete use of weapons?   Salya replied: I have heard on numerous occasions the story of how Lord Brahmā became Lord Siva’s charioteer. You should not place so much faith in your plans, because even if Arjun is killed, Sri Krsna will exterminate the entire Kaurav...

Grudge-The heaviest thing to hold! Asvattāma hurriedly yoked horses to his chariot & set out, as Krpa & Krtvarma anxiously followed him. He soon arrived at Pāndava camp & saw a gigantic being with enormous head with flames emanating from his eyes, nose, ear & mouth   Asvattāma fearlessly attacked that awesome being with his celestial weapons but failed in all his attempt. He thought to himself: Krpa had warned me that persons who don’t listen to their elders must lament later. The frustration of my attempt must be due to its inherently sinful nature. I wonder who is this astonishing being that has defeated me. Obviously further exertion on my part will be useless until my destiny is favourable. Let me now take shelter of my worshipful Lord Siva & seek his guidance   Asvattāma got down from his chariot & fervently prayed to Lord Siva offering his body, mind & soul. Lord Siva personally appeared & smilingly said: Dear Asvattāma, there is...
