Mangalmandir - Maruti Edition (PDF) - Sai Kirtan Group

All your ministers are saying in your favour to please you. There is no sign of any benefit
in those. You are reasoning intellectual. When just one monkey burnt down whole of
Lankaa, where was the bravery of your ministers? Together with yourself why were all
rubbing their eyes? When whose one monkey terrorised Lankaa, then think with your
reasoning power of the valour of the supreme of those innumerable monkeys.
It is my pleading to you to take Bhagwati Sitaa and go to the refuge of Sri Raam who has
arrived at the other coast from Lankaa. And beg forgiveness of your misdeeds. To create
enemosity with the very supreme Lord, there is no benefit.‖
But the one on whose head fate is banging the drums of doom, whose condition is
adverse, the one on whose head time destruction has rolled over, that one would not hear
of such beneficial advice. Raavan‘s intellecet had been perverted. Standing up in the
court he kicked Vibhishan in the chest.. And roaring aloud he said: ― O wicked! Staying
in my house, eating my food togrow up you are not my brother but my very enemy. By
praising those mendicant brothers you have inflamed my heart. If those two children have
your welfare at heart, then today – right now you go to them. You preach your advice to
them. There is no need for you this side of the border of Lankaa.‖
Not taking any offence from the brother‘s kick, Vibhishan bowed to Raavan, and going
out he said: ―Big brother. You are like my father. You now do not have the capacity to
listen to good advice. So by your command I am now leaving to go to the refuge of Sri
Raghunaathji. All those present in the court that I am going of my own decision, but that
he has been pushed out physically.‖
And the court onlooking, he became invisible in the sky. A great craving for the vision of
Bhagwaan Raam, with chanting of his name and with heart full of great auspicious
feelings, in no time he arrive to the coast opposite.
The monkey guards placed at the coast line came to Sri Raam and gave him the news:
―Lord! Raavan‘a younger brother Vibhishan wishes to meet you.‖
―Raavan‘s young brother? Vibhishan?‖ asked Bahgwaan Raam.
―Yes Bhagwaan! Vibhishanji in person has arrived here.‖
Looking at Sugriv seated nearby, Bhagwaan Raam asked: ―Sugrivji! What is your advice
in this matter? Is there any objection in calling Vibhishan here?‖
―Bagwan!‖ Sugriv said with clasped hands. ―According to my understanding, the brother
of the enemy should not be considered trustworthy. What may be in the heart of the
magical demons? Without knowing this it is against protocol. If he has to be called, then
he should be brought bound.‖
Mahaavir Hanumaanji was seated nearby. He heard this discussion. This was now the
real test of servitude. Hearing Sugriv‘s words he was aggrieved. Sugriv and Sri Raam
were both at the level of his master. To say anything now was against the duty of the
servant.What Hanumaanji knew of Vibhishan, that Sugriv had not known.
With grave face he was intent upon hearin Bhagwaan‘s command.
But the Lord is omniscient. That knower the hearts of all, how could he not know the
wish of his supreme devotee Hanumaan?
And the one who has with great faith devotion had vision of Hanumaan even once, for
him what bondage could there be to come to seek the refuge of the Lord?
Thnking for a while, Bhagwaan Raam said: ―Your advice is according to protocol. But
my vow is that the one who has abandoned all fears to come to my refuge, I consider him
to be mine. Be he a friend or foe.There cannot be any doubt of fear or selfishness.
