Online Bhakti Yoga Course: Teachings on the Ramayana With Swami Vashistananda July 13 - 22, 2020 @12 - 1:30 pm PDT daily $50 - 108 sliding scale... "In the Bhagavad Gita The Lord Krishna says "whenever the Dharma (righteousness) decays I manifest in this world in different forms in various ages (YUGA). In the Bhagavata Purana when we look,we can see that the Supreme Brahman manifested in this earth in the form of a Fish, tortoise, Boar, Narasimha, Vamana, Parasurama, Srirama, Balarama, Shrikrishna and Kalki. All these incarnations were meant for establishing Dharma only. Among these incarnations Sri Rama's Incarnation Thretha Yuga is looked upon by the great Rishis and Many Teachers as very divine. Shri Ramchandra's stories are not just like a story but it taught us Karmayoga, Bhaktiyoga, Jnanyoga,dharma of a Rishi,of a father, of a son, of a wife, of a king, of a servant, of a brother etc. Many great sages have realized and reached for liberation (Moksha) by worshiping this ruler of Ayodhya. https://sivanandayogafarm.org//online-bhakti-yoga-course-/ So called SANATHANA DHARMA (Hinduism) what messages have given to the world all these are observed by Shri rama chandra. In that respect the Puranans explains that Sri Rama is the ideal person (Mariyada Purushothaman) a perfect and divine incarnation. Along with Sri Rama,Sitha Devi (as maha Lakshmi's incarnation) appeared in this universe and she was the daughter of mother earth. It was Mother Janaki who helped Sri Rama to fulfill the purpose of incarnation. It was Maharshi Valmiki who wrote the first Divine poems (Maha Kavya) on Sri Rama. Many saints has composed poems and stories glorifying shri rama. Maharshi Vyasa also wrote the Adyatma Ramayana. In the Ramayana also we will see Sri Anjaneya who served Rama all through his life. For a real Bhakta all these stories are subject for reflection and Meditation. May the Lord Rama bless us all to reach unto him when we leave this body. May the Divine Mother Sita Devi protect us in crossing the ocean of Samsara. May the Anjaneya guide us into the right path. " https://sivanandayogafarm.org//online-bhakti-yoga-course-/
