Kamakoti. Org/news as also on Google by the respective references. 3 PREFACE The Epic of Valmiki Ramayana- Rama Aayana- denotes Shri Rama‟s journey from vice to virtue. This is relevant now as much as in the past -present and for ever as narrated in Six Khandas or sugar cane stems viz. Baala Khanda-Ayodhya Khanda- Aranya Khanda-Kishkinda Khanda- Sundara Khanda-Yuddha Khanda. Baala Khanda comprises seventy seven Sargas- Ayodhya Khanda one hundred nineteen Sargas- Aranya Khanda has seventy five Sargas-Kishkindha Khanda has sixty seven Sargas-Sundara Khanda comprises of sixty eight Sargas- Yuddha Khanda has one twenty eight Sargas. Addtionally Uttara Khanda has one hundred eleven Sargas. The current presentation is relevant to Baala Khanda. As I had the fortune of approaching HH Vijayendra Sarasvati of Kanchi Kamakoti, who for the last fifteen years or so, blessed me to script the essence of over Ashtaadasha Puranas, Ashtadasha Upanishads, Brahma Sutras, Dharma Sindhu, Manu Smriti, Paraashara Smriti, Soundarya Lahari, and on Pancha Bhutas- Surya- Chandra-Lakshmi-Saraswati - Ganesha-Bhagavad Gita and so on. Then he spontaneously directed me to attempt Vaalmiki Ramayana in parts but with posible „vishleshanas‟ or explanatory notes as per the contexts of situations and characters referred to. Indeed this is a massive effort but I have his unimaginable blessings. The present script is a maiden effort of the endless „Itihasa‟. The Instruction is that the digestive exercise be gradual, since centuries old countless versions of Ramayana are available or unavailable, but each such Scripts from „taala grandhaas‟ to the paper world had been absorbed as per the inner grasping vibrations subjectively. Hence the physical intakes of pathana-manana- nidhi dhyaasas are objective realistically. „Baala Khanda‟ is the trend setter in as the Yuga Purusha Rama blossoms. That was how Maharshi Vaalmiki encourages Rama‟s second generation of Lava Kusha Kumaras to sing for us the overview of Ramayana vide the fourth sarga itself! From „Baalya‟ to adolescent youthfulness, Brahmarshi Vishmamitra literally pushes to a jolt to King Dasharatha by equipping Shri Rama with „astra-shastra vidya‟ to fight viciousness and vindicate Dharma and Nyaya. The saga and the role of Vishvamitra from a King to a Brahmarshi is the base note of the symphony of Baala Kanda.The fleeting picturisation of the Demons and Sages alike in the Baala Ramayana is a process of transformation of the Society then and now. The struggle continues as an integral part of Existence and as like an ever staged drama through years- centuries- yugas -kalpas of the eternal time cycle. It is my fortune to imagine as to how the Seers of the yore had showerd the flows of „dhaarmic‟ nectar on HH Vijayendra Saraswati of Kanchi who in turn alllows drops on countless followers like us and to our families too.

If any work can clam} to be the Bible of the Hindus, it is the Ramayana of Valmeeki. Professor MacDonell, the latest writer on Samskritha Literature, says : " The Epic contains the following verse foretelling its everlasting fame * As long as moynfain ranges stand And rivers flow upon the earth, So long will this Ramayana Survive upon the lips of men. This prophecy has been perhaps even more abundantly fulfilled than the well-known prediction of Horace. No pro- duct of Sanskrit Literature has enjoyed a greater popularity in India down to the present day than the Ramayana.

SUBBA ROW AN APPRECIATION MY acquaintance with T. Subba Row began at the end of 1884, when I came here to Madras and settled down with the intention of practising in the High Court. It was at the Theosophical Convention of 1884 that I first met him, and from the very first moment became so deeply attracted to him as to make it difficult for me to understand why it was so. My admiration of his ability was so great that I began to look upon him almost from that time as a great man. He was a very well-made robust man, and strikingly intellectual. When H. P. B. was here, he was known to be a great favourite of hers. It was said that he first attracted " her attention by a paper called The Twelve Signs of the Zodiao ", which was afterwards published. At the Convention, there was much talk on various topics, and he always spoke with decision, and his views carried great weight. But he spoke little and only what was necessary. There was then a small committee of which Colonel Olcott was the Presi- dent.

    OM NAMO BHAGAVATE PANDURANGAYA BALAJI VANI Volume 5, Issue 4 April 2011 HARI OM March 1st, Swamiji returned from India where he visited holy places and sister branch in Bangalore. And a fruitful trip to Maha Sarovar (West Kolkata) water to celebrate Mahashivatri here in our temple Sunnyvale. Shiva Abhishekham was performed every 3 hrs with milk, yogurt, sugar, juice and other Dravyas. The temple echoed with devotional chanting of Shiva Panchakshari Mantram, Om Namah Shivayah. During day long Pravachan Swamiji narrated 2 special stories. The first one was about Ganga, and why we pour water on top of Shiva Linga and the second one about Bhasmasura. King Sagar performed powerful Ashwamedha Yagna (Horse sacrifice) to prove his supremacy. Lord Indra, leader of the Demi Gods, fearful of the results of the yagna, stole the horse. He left the horse at the ashram of Kapila who was in deep meditation. King Sagar's 60,000 sons (born to Queen Sumati) and one son Asamanja (born to queen Keshini) were sent to search the horse. When they found the horse at Shri N. Swamiji performing Aarthi KapilaDeva's Ashram, they concluded he had stolen it and prepared to attack him. The noise disturbed the meditating Rishi/Sage VISAYA VINIVARTANTE NIRAHARASYA DEHINAH| KapilaDeva and he opened his eyes and cursed the sons of king sagara for their disrespect to such a great personality.

Tehri-Garhwal, Uttaranchal, Himalayas, India 2006 First Edition: 1958 Second Edition: 2001 Third Edition: 2006 [ 2,000 Copies ] ©The Divine Life Trust Society ISBN-81-7052-159-9 ES 304 Published by Swami Vimalananda for The Divine Life Society, Shivanandanagar, and printed by him at the Yoga-Vedanta Forest Academy Press, P.O. Shivanandanagar, Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttaranchal, Himalayas, India PUBLISHERS’ NOTE Sri Swami Sivanandaji. Maharaj was a healer of the body in his Purvashram (before he entered the Holy Order of Sannyasa). He was a born healer, with an extraordinary inborn love to serve humanity; that is why he chose the medical profession as a career. That is why he edited and published a health Journal “Ambrosia”. That is why he went over to Malaya to serve the poor in the plantations there. And, strangely enough, that is why, he renounced the world and embraced the Holy Order of Sannyasa. He was a healer of the body and the soul. This truth is reflected in the Ashram which he has established in Rishikesh. The huge hospital equipped with modern instruments was set up and the entire Ashram where all are welcome to get themselves healed of their heart’s sores and thoroughly refresh themselves in the divine atmosphere of the holy place. Sri Swamiji wanted that all systems of healing should flourish. He had equal love and admiration for all systems of healing. He wanted that the best of all the systems should be brought out and utilised in the service of Man.
