April 2010 Vol. 7 No. 10 Holy & Wise Ekam Sdvipra Bahudha Vadanti - That is one whom the learned call differently - Vedanta The Sun is reddish at the time of rising so also at the time of setting. Those who are noble -great, are uniform in prosperity as well as in adversity - Mahabharata Prosperity has this property, it puffs up narrow souls, makes them imagine themselves high and mighty, and looks down upon the world with contempt; but a truly noble and resolved spirit appears greatest in distress, and then becomes more bright and conspicuous - Plutarch Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soul - Heber The renew of one duty done is the power to fulfill another - George Eliot Ramachandra Kulapativani If there is one fascinating artist of life in history or mythology, he is Sri Ramachandra. His art was superb. It has illumined centuries, and if you read Vahniki’s story of his life again and again, you will catch glimpses of this art. In his relations with his father, mother, step-mother, tacher, brothers, wife, friends and enemies and subjects he brought a sweetness, grace and purity which have no parallel in biography or fiction. He was intensely human, and beautifully so. Sri Ramachandra’s relations with Sita were wonderful, so human and so sublime; an ethereal bond which transmuted sex-relation into a thing of beauty, a beacon light to all who look to the sanctity of home as the pivot of a perfect life. The popular notion that he discarded her because a washerman criticised his conduct has no foundation in fact. First, the whole incident does not find a place in the original Ramayana. Secondly, when it does find a place in the later additions to the work, it is different. Sri Ramachandra put away Sita after a conflict of emotions in pursuit of an overriding duty as king to respect the wishes of his people. By this act he added the last great touch to his art of living. A king who serves his people has no personal life of his own. The demands of public confidence are inexorable. Even modern Britain overruled her-king’s choice to marry the woman he loved, and removed him from the throne when he preferred private happiness to public duty. In Sri Ramachandra life as Valmiki has given it, every moment was inspired by the permanent values of Culture. His was the Life Beautiful, which alone brings heaven on earth. Dr K.M.
