File 33
Dated : May 15th, 2012.
Jai Sri Ram.
Yajna, its Consecration and divinity of purpose..
Sri Rama adorns the bow and arrow not only to ward off the known enemies of the outside world but also to thrash out the rivals inside ones-Self such as greed, anger, dogmatic fervor, Self-boast etc. Let us meditate on that Rama who kills the wantoness by fulfillment and the fear of the inner-Self by His un-ending Grace.
Moving on to RamayaNa story, Kambar eloquently describes thus :
By completing the Yajna as per ritualistic norms, the King would be blessed with a child and through Him a protector for the 7 worlds beyond which the King's mental agony of a long wait for a child would also end at the twilight of His age.
The King gave away arms, dolls, charities in the form of gold sovereigns, clothes, cows, lands etc. without an iota of pride or pittance attitude unto the all deserving and in the desired way.
He along with His three wives took Dheeksha, a solemn pledge of not tonsuring and adhering to purity in life to be kind, courteous and sublime all through the year long wait for the return of the Ashwa sent to integrate the great Empire, that Ayodhya was.
Savana-Homa and hosting of the 21 Yupa stumba carved out of various tree family and the 18 tugged fire sacraments for the Havan were modeled and moved to respective places, followed by consecration of Deities as per the ritualistic norms.
Sages Vasishta and Rishyasingar took charge of the actual performance of the Yajna and at its culmination appeared a divine person from the flames of the Yajna bearing a vessel, made of gold and silver, filled with rare pAyasam as a gift. Dasaratha received it with reverence and fulfillment.
Now the next act of the King would be worth a wait and let us return with doubled enthusiasm.
