Ramcharitmanas is one of the greatest Hindu Scriptures, where the "story" about Ram (Lord Ram) has been written. It is said: Tulsidas was the reincarnation of great sage Valmiki; Valmiki wrote Ramayana. If we check both Ramcharitmanas and Ramayana, both convey the same story about Ram. If we compare in terms of quantity, Ramcharitmanas can be said the shorter version of Ramayana. Often, Hindu Gurus asked people to read Ramcharitmanas daily, as it supposed to help in spiritual progress.

For reading the biography of Tulsidas, check this Wikipedia link. And, to download comlete Ramcharitmanas, visit this "link" of Gita Press, from where not only Ramcharitmanas but you can also download Hanuman Chalisa and Bhagavad gita (all pages).

He was an enlightened master, he was crying … saying "people don’t understand their sufferings," not one, but Guru has seen many enlightened masters crying profusely, they feel others pains as their pains, others happiness as their happiness. Even, they know what has been created by the mind will end up in zero (nothing), every action will be finished in reaction and nothing will remain, apart from the awareness, non-dual identity, self, God or whatever you wish to say only exists. The people who are much mad about only one marg, i.e., sam marg or bam marg, they don’t know their sam marg will end in bam marg and bam marg will end in sam marg. There is nothing like only negative or only positive, things created by the mind end in balancing themselves.

Krishna could have stopped the war, innocent could be saved, Gandhari couldn’t have cursed him – but he didn’t. He let the people die in front of his eyes stabbing each other; even he encouraged Arjuna for killing. Krishna had all the knowledge of peace and love, all the knowledge of self realization and better life, but no one asked him (apart from Arjuna; Arjuna asked coz he got confused with the purpose of his life). And, without asking Krishna didn’t give the teachings. He enjoyed all the pros and cons, all the complexities and disasters – he played his life.

Krishna says –

  • Physical world is with three gunas (attributes), these are Satoguna, Tamoguna and Rajoguna. Every person, living in this physical world falls in these attributes. [But a person can also go beyond these three attributes]

Bhakti YogaGod is in both form and formless state. Worshiping God’s form is referred as- Bhakti Yoga, this is right brain oriented. And Worshiping God in invisible form is left brain oriented.
