Chapter [Sarga] 37 in Detail tapyamaane tadaa deve sa indraah sa agni purogamaah | senaapatim abhiipsantah pitaamaham upaagaman || 1-37-1 "While God Shiva is undertaking asceticism thus, then the Gods desiring an Army Chief for celestial forces have arrived in the audience of Forefather Brahma, along with Indra and keeping Fire-God at their fore." Sage Vishvamitra continued his narration to Rama.

[1-37-5] shaila putryaa yat uktam tat na prajaah svaasu patnisu | tasyaa vacanam aklistam satyam eva na sa.mshayah || 1-37-6 What the Daughter of Mountain, namely Goddess Uma, has said that 'you shall have no posterity [offspring’s or children] in your own wives' is true and it cannot be decried [disapproved], and it is unambiguous too. [1-37-6] iyam aakaasha ga.ngaa yasyaam putram hutaashanah | janayisyati devaanaam senaapatim ari.ndamam || 1-37-7 “‘In whom the Fire-God can procreate an enemy-destroying Chief of Celestial Armies, such an empyreal [celestial or divine] Ganga is there.

So said Brahma to all the Gods. [1-37-8] tat shrutvaa vacanam tasya kritaarthaa raghunandana | pranipatya suraah sarve pitaamaham apuujayan || 1-37-9 "On hearing those words of Brahma, oh, Rama, the delight of Raghu's dynasty, all the Gods have praise-fully worshipped him, as their ends are achieved at the bidding fair of Brahma. [1-37-9] te gatvaa paramam raama kailaasam dhaatu manditam | agnim niyojayaamaasuh putraartham sarva devataah || 1-37-10 "On going to that supreme Mt. Kailash, oh, Rama, which is heaped up with many ores [natural minerals], all of those Gods have assigned the Fire-God to father a son. [1-37-10] deva kaaryam idam deva samaadhatsva hutaashana | shaila putryaam mahaatejo ga.ngaayaam teja utsrija || 1-37-11 Oh, Fire-God, you please coordinate the mission of Gods, oh, great-resplendent [shining brilliantly] God of Fire, you may release the potency of Shiva, which you have contained so far, in the daughter of King of Mountains, namely River Ganga.' Thus, all Gods have requested the Fire- God. [1-37-11] devataanaam pratijnaaya ga.ngaam abhyetya paavakah | garbham dhaaraya vai devi devataanaam idam priyam || 1-37-12 On assuring the Gods that he will do his best, the Fire-God approached Ganga entreating [negotiating], 'Oh, Goddess Ganga, you verily bear pregnancy with the potency of Shiva, since this is the select process of all the Gods.' So said Fire-God to River Ganga. [1-37-12] Page 3 of 8 “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 37 iti etat vacanam shrutvaa divyam ruupam adhaarayat | sa tasyaa mahimaam dristvaa sama.ntaat avakiiryata || 1-37-13 "On listening that sentence of Fire-God, River Ganga adopted a celestial form readying [to make ready] herself, and on seeing her glorious mien [appearance] the Fire-God seeped throughout her.

[1-37-15, 16a] atha abraviit idam gangaam sarva deva hutaashanah || 1-37-16 iha haimavate paarshve garbho ayam sa.mniveshyataam | "He who consumes fire-oblations on behalf of all the Gods, that Fire-God seeing the miserable condition of River Ganga then spoke this to her, ''you may lay away that embryo [a vertebrate at any stage of development prior to birth] here at the side of Himalayan Mountains.' So said Fire-God to River Ganga. [1-37-16b, 17a] Page 4 of 8 “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 37 shrutvaa tu agni vaco ga.ngaa tam garbham atibhaasvaram || 1-37-17 utsasarja mahaatejaah srotobhyo hi tadaa anagha | "Oh, great-resplendent Rama, on hearing the words of Fire-God, oh, charming prince Rama, River Ganga indeed ejected that great-radiant embryo of Shiva from all her rills [narrow spaces] and channels. [1-37-17b, 18a] yat asyaa nirgatam tasmaat tapta jaa.mbuunada prabham || 1-37-18 kaa.ncanam dharaniim praaptam hiranyam atula prabham | "Which refulgent [brilliant] embryo with the glitter of molten Gold has emerged from River Ganga is there that has reached earth, and from that the silver, and even the gold with its matchless dazzle have emerged.

[1-37-19b, 20] niksipta maatre garbhe tu tejobhih abhira.njitam | sarvam parvata sa.mnaddham sauvarnam abhavat vanam || 1-37-21 "But, just when that embryo is laid down on Himalayan mountains, entire reed-garden sprouted on that mountain is made brilliant by that glittering embryo and the reed-garden itself has become golden. [1-37-21] Page 5 of 8 “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Bala Kanda – Chapter 37 jaataruupam iti khyaatam tadaa prabhriti raaghava | suvarnam purusavyaaghra hutaashana sama prabham | trina vriksha lataa gulmam sarvam bhavati kaa.ncanam || 1-37-22 "Oh, tigerly-man, from then onwards the gold with its brilliance equaling that of the Fire- God is renowned by the name of jaata ruupa , one that retains its birth-time form, and oh, Raghava, everything on the mountain, say grass, trees, climbers, and shrubs, all have become golden. [1-37-22] tam kumaaram tato jaatam sa indraah saha marud ganaah | ksiira sa.mbhaavana arthaaya krittikaah samayojayan || 1-37-23 Then for the boy who took birth from the embryo deposited in Himalayas, the Wind-Gods along with Indra have arranged Krittika stars to simultaneously suckle [to give milk to from the breast] him. [1-37-23] taah ksiiram jaata maatrasya kritvaa samayam uttamam | daduh putro ayam asmaakam sarvaasaam iti nishcitaah || 1-37-24 Those Krittika stars have decided among themselves that 'this boy shall be the son for all of us, and on making such a best resolve they suckled [to give milk to from the breast] the just born boy. [1-37-24] tatah tu devataah sarvaah kaartikeya iti bruvan | putrah trailokya vikhyaato bhavisyati na sa.mshayah || 1-37-25 "All the Gods have then said, 'this boy will be renowned in all the three world as Kaarthikeya, as Krittika-stars have suckled him, without any doubt.'

The most sacred of all creations of God in the human life and it has two aspects- one biological and other sociological. If nutrition and reproduction maintain and transmit the biological aspect, the sociological aspect is transmitted by education. Man is primarily distinguishable from the animals because of power of reasoning. Man is endowed with intelligence, remains active, original and energetic. Man lives in accordance with his philosophy of life and his conception of the world. Human life is a priceless gift of God. But we have become sheer materialistic and we live animal life. It is said that man is a rational animal; but our intellect is fully preoccupied in pursuit of materialistic life and worldly pleasures. Our senses and objects of pleasure are also created by God, hence without discarding or condemning them, we have to develop ( Bhav Jeevan) and devotion along with them.

The fourth book, Kishkinda Kanda, describes the meeting of Hanuman with Rama, the destruction of the vanara king Vali and the coronation of his younger brother Sugriva to the throne of the kingdom of Kishkindha. The fifth book is Sundara Kanda, which narrates the heroism of Hanuman, his flight to Lanka and meeting with Sita. The sixth book, Yuddha Kanda, describes the battle between Rama's and Ravana's armies. The last book, Uttara Kanda, describes the birth of Lava and Kusha to Sita, their coronation to the throne of Ayodhya, and Rama's final departure from the world. Book 1: The Epic relates to the ancient traditions of two powerful races, the Kosalas and the Videhas, who lived in Northern India between the twelfth and tenth centuries before Christ. The names Kosala and Videha in the singular number indicate the kingdoms,--Oudh and North Behar,--and in the plural number they mean the ancient races which inhabited those two countries. According to the Epic, Dasa-ratha king of the Kosalas had four sons, the eldest of whom was Rama the hero of the poem. And Janak king of the Videhas had a daughter named Sita, who was miraculously born of a field furrow, and who is the heroine of the Epic.

K. NARAYAN was born on October 10, 1906, in Madras, South India, and educated there and at Maharaja’s College in Mysore. His first novel, Swami and Friends (1935), and its successor, The Bachelor of Arts (1937), are both set in the fictional territory of Malgudi, of which John Updike wrote, “Few writers since Dickens can match the effect of colorful teeming that Narayan’s fictional city of Malgudi conveys; its population is as sharply chiseled as a temple frieze, and as endless, with always, one feels, more characters round the corner.” Narayan wrote many more novels set in Malgudi, including The English Teacher (1945), The Financial Expert (1952), and The Guide (1958), which won him the Sahitya Akademi (India’s National Academy of Letters) Award, his country’s highest honor. His collections of short fiction include A Horse and Two Goats, Malgudi Days, and Under the Banyan Tree. Graham Greene, Narayan’s friend and literary champion, said, “He has offered me a second home. Without him I could never have known what it is like to be Indian.” Narayan’s fiction earned him comparisons to the work of writers including Anton Chekhov, William Faulkner, O.

  • Development of a Conceptual Model of Pranayama As in Yoga Vasishtha
    International Journal of Yoga and Allied Sciences (ISSN: 2278 – 5159) Volume: 5, Issue: 2; July- Dec 2016 Development of a Conceptual Model of Pranayama as in Yoga Vasishtha (Nirvana Prakarana) and its Comparison with Concept of Pranayama in Patanjali Yoga Sutra and Hatha Yoga Pradipika Manek Vidhi Umesh* *M.A. Yoga, K. J. Somaiya Bharatiya Sanskriti Peetham, Kavikulaguru Kalidas Sanskrit University, India, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Aim: To develop a conceptual model of Pranayama as in Yoga Vasishtha [Chapter 25, Nirvana Prakarana (I)] and compare it with Pranayama as in Patanjali Yoga Sutra and Swatmarama’s Pranayama concept as in Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Objectives: To build familiarity with the phenomenon of Yoga Vasishtha pranayama and gain new insights into it and to compare Yoga Vasishtha pranayama with the most prevailing concept of pranayama of Patanjali Yoga Sutra and Swatmarama’s Pranayama concept as in Hatha Yoga. Method: A fundamental study of Yoga Vasishtha and study of Vasishtha Pranayama [Chapter 25 of Nirvana Prakaran (I)] was done for this work. Elaborated diagrams were made to give clear idea of the Pranayama of Yoga Vasishtha in Chapter- 25. Study of Pranayama in Patanjali Yoga Sutra, study of Pranayama in Hatha Yoga Pradipika was also done. Conclusion: The unbroken awareness with the flow of the prana is the essence of Yoga Vasishtha Pranayama. This Pranayama, we can say, is an absolute concept of pranayama. This Pranayama is similar to Patanjali’s Pranayama to a great extent but more elaborative. Like Hath Yoga Pranayama there is no chance of harm for the practitioner.

  • Effect of Ramayana on Various Cultures and Civilisations
    EFFECT OF RAMAYANA ON VARIOUS CULTURES AND CIVILISATIONS Dr. Gauri Mahulikar INTRODUCTION Ramayana is the fountain source of a great tradition of literature, culture, religion; not only in India, but in the islands , regions and countries as far as in Pacific ocean as well. There are two main streams which flowed from India, the birth place of the Ramayana; one to the South East Asia (SEA) and the other to the western countries, representing the cultural and literary aspects respectively. This paper aims to highlight the cultural influence mainly and as such the SEA would be the chief point. "Few works of literature produced in any place at any time have been as popular, influential, imitated and successful as the great and ancient Sanskrit epic poem, the Ramayana", says Robert Goldman.1 Though India is the home land of the Ramayana, it now belongs to the entire world and is a unique, social, cultural, spiritual, philosophical and literary treasure of the mankind. Differences in the ideological, political and religious setup of the countries influenced by the Ramayana, have never been a hindrance in the progress and popularity of the epic. The regions that have come under the sway of this epic constitute mainly the SEA countries like Cambodia, Indonesia, Java, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
