Dear Thimmappaji,
Your mail reminds of something.....sometime back I was searching Google to look
for versions of ESOTERIC RAMAYAN....and thats how I happen to discover this
group :-)
Since the topic of ESOTERIC understanding has surfaced, am sharing some
reflections......
" These are thoughts evoked long back after reading Dr.Svoboda's books (Aghora
Series)...
RAMAYAN means RAM=ATMAN (Soul) & AYAN=CYCLE (Journey)... " JOURNEY OF THE SOUL "
There are several characters in this Mythology and they symbolize, as under:
RAM=Atma Shakti / The Power of Soul
BHARAT=Deh Shakti / The Power of Body
LAKSHMAN=Manah Shakti / The Power of Will
SHATRUGHNA=Karma Shakti / The Power of Action
DASHRATH=Mind (Dash means Ten; Rath means Chariot...Mind is like a Chariot with
Ten Horses)
These 10 Horses are our external & internal senses...Eyes, Nose, Ears, Tongue &
Skin...i.e., 5 Karmendriyas and 5 Gyanendriyas.
KAUSHALYA=Satva Guna
KAIKEYI=Tamo Guna
SUMITRA=Rajo Guna
Simple fact, Dashrath (the mind) under the influence of Kaikeyi (tamo guna)
disregards his duties towards Ram (the atma/soul) and offers undue favours to
Bharat (the body) ...something we all are doing 'all the time' :-)
As a result, poor Ram has been sent in exile along with his wife SITA (who
ofcourse is The Kundalini Shakti )
Also, he faces his worst plight when Sita is abducted by Ravana (the ego). The
Ego (Ravana) is supported by various warriors who are extremely powerful. One
among them is Ravana's son...Meg-nad (literally means, The Sound of Clouds).
Its not difficult to understand that our ever agitating Mind is clouded
with the commotion of " Thoughts " ...which never ever allows us to let
rest into the deeper solitude of Inner Self. Meg-nad (The Sound of
Clouds/Thoughts) who is the son of Ravana (the Ego) is too powerful to overcome.
BUT !!!
BUT !!! Noone has ever been able to Stop the Power of the Soul (Ram). Ram seeks
help from LAKSHMAN (Laksh means Goal; Man means Mind...Focused or Concentrated
Mind)
&
THE HANUMAN (who is Son of The Wind God)...its thru the Wind that Life Force
(Pran Shakti) flows within Us. The whole Monkey Army is nothing but, various
forces of the Life Force transmitting Air (Pran Vayu).
Thus, with the help from HANUMAN (Pran Shakti) and LAKSHMAN (Concentrated Mind),
RAM (Atma) defeats RAVANA (Ego) in order to come in union with SITA (Kundalini
Shakti)......What a Beautiful Story !!!
Isn't Ramayana after all, " JOURNEY OF THE SOUL " ???
Now, this is in the lighter side with some new characters:
SUGRIVA = Su means Good + Griva means Throat = A Throat that is
energized/cleansed thru Yoga/Pranayam. Needless to say, SUGRIVA being the King
of Vanaras supplies Hanumana (Pran) as well as the whole Vanar Sena
(Pran Vayu) to assist RAM is his endeavours to free SITA (The Kundalini
Shakti) from RAVANA. An even, not so regular practitioner of Pranayam
can experience this phenomenon.
SHURPANAKHA :-) ..............well, this is getting funnier :-D
We
all know that the very seed of the RAM & RAVANA feud started with
the incident of SHURPANAKHA's nose getting slain by LAKHMAN. It is the
very beginning of the tale that finally makes Ramayana - The Story.
Esoterically, it refers to the 'time' when first of the endeavours of a
this wandering soul to reach back to its kingdom starts - The Neophyte.
In Ramayana also, 13 years of exile had passed.....just after a year
RAMA will be throned back to his kingdom. So, the EGO (Ravana) has to
play its final game in an attempt to not let it happen. Thus, the first
move is taken by Ego's Sister - SHURPANAKHA :-) Shall we explore the
meaning??? SHURPA-NAKHA means Big/Large Nails. And what do we do with
our nails??? No marks for guessing that, we scratch ofcourse :-P
The moment this neophyte Sadhak sits for " Meditation " or " Jap Mala " and tries to
Concentrate 'The Mind'.....Remember? Lakha-Man = Ekagrachitta Man
(Concentrated/Focussed Mind)...there comes the marriage proposal from
Shurpanakha :-)) One feels scratchy here and there :-D))))))))))))
So
next time we feel scratchy while Meditating or Japa, lets not take the
Surpanakha (Nails) to get married to Lakshman :-)
Control...Observe...Get Over...lets slay her nose and drive her out
!!!! :-)
Ofcourse get ready for Marich (The Golden Deer) to come next ;-D
Pranams _/\_,
Anupam
