Spotlights On The Ramayana - 2.

Dedicated
TO
MY HOLY MASTER
SATGURU SRI SWAMI SIVANANDAJI MAHARAJ
Sri Swami Premananda

2. Invocation -

Salutations to Lord Ganesha who removes all impediments and ensures blessedness and success.
Reverence to Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge and learning, and Parvati, consort of Lord Siva, bestower of strength and energy.

Prostrations to my Satguru Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj, an ocean of benevolence and compassion, who removes defects of vision and purifies the eyes of understanding and guides on the path of spirituality, wisdom and devotion and protects his humble disciples from all sides.

Adorations to Lord Mahadeva, over whose divine body the holy ashes are auspicious and ecstatic and who narrated the sacred Sri Ramacharitmanas (Ramayana) to his holy consort Uma.

Veneration to Lord Rama and Janaki Sita, incarnations of Lord Hari and Goddess Lakshmi respectively, who remove illusion and illumine the heart & mind with devotion and truth.

Obeisance to Hanuman, an ideal and faithful servant-cum-devotee of Sita Rama, by whose blessings truth is made manifest and the Yugal-sarkar grant their darshan to a devotee.

Benedictions be from great sage Valmiki, the first author of Ramayana, and Sant Goswami Tulsidas, an incarnation of Valmiki, who composed Sri Ramcharitmanas in Hindi for the redemption of mankind, in this perverse Kali Yuga.
