Tulsikrit ramayan in gujarati full#
Īranya Kānd's first shlok is: I reverence Bhagavan Shankar, the progeny of Brahma, the very root of the tree of piety, the beloved, devotee of King Shri Ram, the full moon that brings joy to the ocean of wisdom, the sun that opens the lotus of dispassion, the wind that disperses the clouds of ignorance, who dispels the thick darkness of sin and eradicates the threefold agony and who wipes off obloquy. This is the same couplet that begins the great poem of Hanuman, the Hanuman Chalisa. The first Doha of Ayodhya Kānd is the famous two line couplet: Cleansing the mirror of my mind with the dust from the lotus feet of the revered Guru, I sing Sri Ram's untarnished glory, that bestows the four rewards of human life. Īyodhya Kānd begins with the following verse: May He in whose lap shines forth the Daughter of the mountain king, who carries the celestial stream on His head, on whose brow rests the crescent moon, whose throat holds poison and whose breast is support of a huge serpent, and who is adorned by the ashes on His body, may that chief of gods, the of all, the Destroyer of the universe, the omnipresent Shiv, the moon-like Shankar, ever protect me The beginning of Bālakāṇḍa has invocations to deities such as Shiva, Parvati, Ganesh and Hanuman. Typically the first three or four verses of each chapter are invocations.
Tuslidas began every chapter with an invocation because he believed that reading, and indeed the writing, of the story of Ram required the right frame of mind, and also the divine assistance of god. One who seeks it, or comes near it, leaves his miseries far and behind." Invocations at beginning of each episode Tulsidas writes, "Ramayan is the sublime shadow of the tree of Divinity. Morari Bapu talks about a tree as being a metaphor for the Ramcharitmanas. The work is primarily composed in the Chaupai metre (four-line quatrains), separated by the Doha metre (two-line couplets), with occasional Soratha and various Chhand metres. The later books are Araṇyakāṇḍ (Forest Episode), Kiṣkindhākāṇḍ (Kishkindha Episode), Sundarkāṇḍ (Pleasant Episode), Laṅkākāṇḍ (Lanka Episode) and Uttarkāṇḍ (Later Episode). The Ramcharitmanas consists of seven books, of which the first two, titled Bālkāṇḍ (Childhood Episode) and Ayodhyākāṇḍ (Ayodhya Episode), make up more than half of the work.
It was Tulsidas' aim to make the story of Ramlila accessible to the masses. The text is associated with the beginning of the tradition of Ramlila, the dramatic enactment of the text. Its composition marks the first time the story of Ramayana was made available to the common man for song and performance. Today, it is considered one of the greatest works of Hindu literature, and is often referred to as the "Bible of northern India" by Western Indologists. A large portion of the poem was composed at Varanasi, where the poet spent most of his later life. The exact date is stated within the poem as being the ninth day of the month of Chaitra, which is the birthday of Ram, Ram Navami. Tulsidas (sometimes simply referred to as Tulsi) began writing the scripture in Vikram Samvat 1631 (1574 CE) in Avadhpuri, Ayodhya.
