Ma Galācarana Prayers: Sung During Shri Ram Katha
I salute Lord Rāma, who is handsome, the elder brother of Lakṣmaṇa, the husband of
Sitā, the best of the scions of the Raghu race, who is the ocean of compassion, the
stockpile of virtues, the beloved of the Brāhmins and the protector of Dharma, who is
the prac cer of the Truth, the Lord emperor of kings, the son of Daśaratha, dark-
complexioned, the personifica on of peace and tranquility, who is the enemy of
Rāvaṇa, the crown jewel of the Raghu dynasty and the cynosure of all eyes.
(Rāmarakṣastotra)
His glories were sung by Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śivā along with Nārada and other great
and realised souls, including Vālmiīkī. Śuka, Sanaka, Śesha and Sarasva , they all
sang in praises of these beau ful works including the greatness of Hanumāna.
The Rāmāyaṇa is the essence of the Vedās, the purāṇas, śāstras and indeed of all
spiritual texts. It is the very valued possessions of Saints and Sages, whose opinions
and praises are contained in this popular text.
Lord Śivā, Pārva and Vyāsa all recounted me and me again the greatness of the
Rāmāyaṇa. The very essence of the divine feelings of the hearts of Kagabhuṣuṅḍi
and Garuḍa is fully described.
The Rāmāyaṇa destroys all the impuri es of Kaliyuga; it destroys all desires. The
Rāmāyaṇa is the giver of eternal life. It destroys all worldly diseases. For the poet
and devotee Tulasīdāsa, the Rāmāyaṇa is Mother, Father and all rela ons!
