Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha! Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam! ‘Sadaika Priyadarsana’ : One’s appearance should be pleasing and delightful to the onlookers. Animals are wild and ferocious and are liked by some and disliked by others whereas a human being should be a ‘sa:thwik’ and visualize the ‘Ananda Swaru:pa Bhagava:n’ in ‘sarvabhu:tha:s’ and become pleasant for all people around. The ‘sa:thwik-guna’ leads to bliss. The ‘rajas’ gives rise to unhappiness and the ‘thamo:guna’ leads to grief and passion. If ‘sathwa guna’ dominates in a person, he will be always pleasing to all. SriRamachandra was pleasing not only to human beings but also to animals, trees and rivers. After Va:li’s death, his wife Tha:ra, came to SriRama to accuse him for killing her husband but surprisingly her anger cooled off on SriRama’s darshan and she started praising Him: “thvama prame:yascha dura:sadascha.” Surpanakha whose nose and ears are cut off by Lakshmana went to her brother Khara to complain about SriRama but with her heart filled with glee at SriRama’s darshan her intention was forgotten and on the contrary started describing his Divine beauty (saundaryam): “tharunau roopa sampannau pundari:ka visa:la:kshou !” So Ramachandra is a ‘sadaika priyadarshana’. He had proved that a human being should cultivate this feature. Every substance here consists of the three qualities sathwam, rajas and thamas. If there is only ‘sathwam’ with no ‘rajas’ or ‘thamas’ that person is wonderful and pleasant always. In all the things in this universe, ‘rajas’ or ‘thamas’ would be alternating and causing unhappiness or grief but they never give pleasure. But in SriRamachandra there is only ‘sathwam’ and there are no traces of ‘rajasthamas’. His darshan is just‘priyam’ for all and forever and ever. His darshan is just ‘priyam’ for all and forever and ever. To be continued... Jaisrimannarayana!
