TRUE LOVE AND DEVOTION TO LORD RAMA.
True devotion is motiveless. Devotion is like seeking God’s grace and serving God with love and dedication. With love of LORD RAMA an offering is devotion. Vakti is not praying for things that one desires but grateful for the things that one has. Devotion is love, vakti which developed by prayer and surrender to God. Devotion reveals the innermost nature of mind. True devotion is not dependent but liberation from the worldly affairs. Devotion helps the individual to grow his own individual’s spirituality. Devotion may also be thought as action, such as worshiping, praying.
DEVOTION GIVE PEACE OF MIND.
Faith and devotion gives peace, happiness and makes the mind pure. Faith is one’s wealth of love and peace. Nothing positive can be developed without faith. Faith is not blind but proven through reasoning and gives us confidence in the karma; it gives us to give up pride which is the root of devotion. Slowly faith turns into devotion
LORD RAMA IN AYODHA.
On return to Ayodhya, LORD RAMA decides to reward all his well-wishers. Accordingly, all his friends and allies were honoured. Hanuman was an ardent devotee and disciple of Rama. Hanuman Rama embarrassed HANUMAN warmly, mentioning that he could never properly honor or repay Hanuman for the help which he has given to him. He also thinks that he is dear to him, as like his own beloved brother Bharat. Hanuman’s initiative and help made their reunion possible. It was Hanuman who saved Lakshman from death in the hands of Indrajeet.
LOVE AND DEVOTION - NONDEMANDING
Sita Mata insisted that Hanuman too should be honoured. Sitama hands him over her necklace of precious stones which was adorning her neck. On receiving the gift, Hanuman started tearing it apart, and looking and searching something into each stone. Everyone was taken aback, many desired to know why he was destroying the precious gift. Hanuman answers that he was looking into the stones to make sure that Rama and Sita are in them or not? If they are not within the stones, the necklace has no value to him. Few of them started questioning his love and respect to Rama and Sita. In response, HANUMAN TEAR OFF HIS CHEST OPEN, EVERY ONE WAS STUNNED TO SEE RAMA AND SITA, LITERALLY PRESENT THERE. Such an example of devotion and love towards Rama and Sita, they were stunned and were speechless for a moment. What a wonder, every one shouted JAI HANUMAN. Yes, Hanuman could prove that he is the most ardent follower of Ram. Hanuman proved that MONETARY VALUE OF A GIFT is not always an important factor, in comparison to love, faith and devotion.
