Dassera Day

“Many things happened on Dassera Day.” The most important was that Shri Rama was crowned as king and He also killed Ravana.

“Many may say, ‘How can it be He killed Ravana and He was coronated on the same date?’ In those days in India, we had supersonic airplanes.... The airplane’s name was Pushpak, meaning the flower.” It had tremendous speed, “so after killing Ravana He came to Ayodhya with His wife and that was the day He was crowned.”

A benevolent king

You can imagine how much advanced people were there at that time of Shri Rama and His kingdom. The reason was the king was an incarnation. Also He was a benevolent king, as described by Socrates....

The story of Rama, they say, was written before He was born, even before there was any inkling of it. The seer Valmiki wrote the whole story of Shri Rama. Shri Rama’s birth and all that were brought forth by the Agni, the fire, and He was born in the dynasty of the Surya – that is the sun....

He was one of the mildest of avataras you have ever had. He was a very formal person. He would go to any extent to bear upon Himself the problems than to tell others to do something.... This is one of the greatest qualities of Shri Rama, that He would not make anyone do anything for Him.” He would not order anything or use someone for any purpose.

The person who is born in Surya has to be extremely humble. He is the one who shows that nothing can affect, nothing can make him feel that he is something great.”

Deities book

He is the king of kings The sweetness of Shri Rama, the way He used to make people feel comfortable, an example is of an oyster who gets a little stone into the body of the shell, takes out a kind of a shiny liquid and covers it with that shiny liquid and makes it into a pearl to be comfortable. Now He did not want His own comfort. Rama is a little bit different, that He wanted to make everyone into a diamond or a pearl so that the other person would shine and would look nice and that is how He felt comforted. The benevolence of Shri Rama was shown when He started ruling the people. He was the one who cared for the needs of the people. For Him, it was important that the people whom He ruled should be happy and joyous. He looked after them with great love. Shri Rama, by His character, by His balance, His peace and His mildness and His sweetness has shown us how a king should be a benevolent king and, at the same time, a very loving husband and a loving father and a person in dharma. He has given you a fatherhood within yourself because Shri Rama represents the fatherhood. Let us decide that we are going to have Ramraj in Sahaja Yoga, where there is benevolence, there is love, compassion, security, peace, joy, discipline among ourselves. The whole disciplining is within ourselves.

(Excerpt from Deities book)

The sweetness of Shri Rama

Shri Rama went into a village where there was a very old woman who was belonging to the primitive class of beings. She had very few teeth. She brought some small fruits known as ber and she gave them to Him. “‘Shri Ram, you see, I have got these for You. I don’t have anything else. And these, I’ve tested all of them.’

Actually in India, if you put in the mouth it is utishta. Nobody will touch it. But she said, ‘I have tasted all of them by piercing my teeth into them and I have seen that none of them are sour.’” She knew Shri Rama didn’t like sour fruits. “‘None of them are sour and you can have them.’

If you did this to somebody in the West, they would hit you hard.

Immediately, Shri Rama rushed forward and took the bers from her hand, kissed her hand, said, ‘All right, all right, I’m going to have them.’ With such enthusiasm, He ate them.

So Lakshmana was a little angry at that lady. ‘What’s this going on?’

So Sitaji said, ‘Oh, do you like them very much?’

He said, ‘Yes, but I’m not going to give you anything.’

“She said, “No, I am your half body. You have to give me.’ So He gave some to Sitaji. Sitaji ate. “Yah, what a thing! It’s like nectar of heaven I am eating!’

So Lakshmana felt very jealous. He said, ‘Sister-in-law, can I not have a little of it?’

She said, ‘No, I can’t give you. You ask your brother. I’m not going to give to you. I have a very little share. Why don’t you ask your brother?’

Lakshmana went to his brother Rama and asked for more.

Shri Rama smiled and gave him that ber which was eaten or touched or was pierced by the teeth of a primitive woman, who was actually an outcast according to the Brahminic laws of India.

This is the sweetness of Shri Rama. “He used to make people feel comfortable like ... an oyster who gets a little stone into the body of the shell, takes out a kind of a shiny liquid and covers it with that shiny liquid and makes it into a pearl to be comfortable.

Now He didn’t want His own comfort. Rama is a little bit different, that He wanted to make everyone into a diamond or a pearl, so that the other person would shine and would look nice. And that’s how He felt comforted.
