SRIMAD valmiki RAMAYAN
“SRIMAD RAMAYAN” THE GREAT EPIC IN THE antiquity OF INDIA, the word ramayan shed light on the journey of lord sri ram. SRIMAD RAMAYAN has been PRESENTED IN THIS WORLD IN VERY DIFFERENT WAYs AND STYLES. there are several typyes of ramayana
“RAMAYAN SAT KOTI APARA”
AMONG ALL THE RAMAYAN’S LIKE RAMCHARITRAMANAS, ANAND RAMAYAN, BHANU KAVI RAMAYAN TO NAME A FEW, SRIMAD VALMIKI RAMAYAN COMPOSED BY MAHARISHI VALMIKI, India's first poet is MOST bona fide. SRIMAD VALMIKI RAMAYAN IS FIRST IN THE ROW BECAUSE OF THE POETIC EFFICIENCY AND THE PHILOSOPHICAL PRESENTATION OF SRIPAD VALMIKI. SRIMAD VALMIKI RAMAYAN has been COMPOSED IN VeRSES KNOWN AS “SHLOKAS” IN SANSKRIT LANGUAGE, AND A COMPLEX 32-syllable METER CALLED “ANUSTUPA”. THE RAMAYAN CONSISTS OF 24,000 VERSES IN SEVEN BOOKS (kāṇḍas) BALA KANDA, AYODHYA KANDA, ARANYA KANDA, KISKINDHA KANDA, SUNDARA KANDA, YUDHA KANDA and ANDUTTARA KANDA AND 500 CANTOS (sargas).
the Ramayan is not just an ordinary katha (story) it contains the teachings of ancient Hindu sages and presents them in narrative allegory with philosophical and the devotional elements interspersed. The characters Rama, Sita, LAKSHMANA, BHARATA, HANUMANA and Ravana are all fundamental to the cultural consciousness oF INDIA.
THE WORD RAMAYAN reveal A CONVERSATION BETWEEN A GURU (MASTER) AND A SHISHYA (STUDENT). ONCE SHISHYA SHARED HIS worry, WHICH he had been suffring SINCE AGES. SHISHYA ASKED HIS GURU IN tranquility. OH GURUDEV! I AM FACING A Plight “RAMAYAN”. HE SAID “RAMA-AYAN” (RAMA indicates MAYA AND THE SANSKRIT WORD AYAN symbolize HOME). HE WANTED TO convey THAT MAYA had MADE his HEART HER domicile. that is MAYA was haunting HIM AND deviating him FROM HIS REAL course OF composure, CONCIOUSNESs AND SPRITUALITY. IT iS JUST as if A SNAKE takes shelter in YOUR domicile, and u can never let your guard down owing to its existence in your house because of his PROVOKE. HE SAID HE HAd NO command Over HIS SENCES AS MAYA had come to take full supremacy ON THEM. A PANDEMIC DiSEAsE “MAYA” had seized HIM. HE IS ASKING FOR THE heal OF THIS UNremediable malady. THE GURU SMILED AND riposely answered with POLITEness to SOLVE THis obstacle OF his SHISHYA JUST IN ONE WORD, HE SAID OH! SHISHYA “RAMAYAN” HERE it states RAM+AYAN HE declare that invite RAM HE CAN dislodge SNAKE that is THE MAYA FROM YOUR HEART AND THeN OFFER YOUR HOME that is your HEART TO sri RAM, thus MAKing YOUR HEART THE abode OF sriRAM. THAT’S THE ONLY panacea.
“HRIDISTHAM KURU KESHAVAM”
OFFER YOUR HEART TO SRIRAM. MAKE YOUR HEART abode OF SRIRAM. BHAKTI IS THE ESSENCE Of ALL the SHASTRA’S
THE FIRST VERSE RECITED BY SRIPAD VALMIKI WHEN HE SAW A HUNTER KILLED A HEARTTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL BIRD.
MAA NISHAD PRATISTHAM TYAM GAMAH SASWATI CHAMA//
YAT KRONCH MITHUNA DEKH MAVADHI KAAM MOHITAM// (balakanda 2.14)
o hunter! since you killed one of the pair of krauncha birds in love, you shall never attain fame.
SPONTANEOUSLY MAHARISHI VALMIKI CHANTED THIS FRESH VERSE WITHOUT ANY PLAN AND EVEN HE WAS SURPRISED. since this verse was born of valmiki’s grief, it was called “shloka”. THAN BY THE INSPIRATION OF DEVARSHI NARADA MAHARISHI VALMIKI WROTE SRIMAD VALMIKI RAMAYAN.

Introduction
Author: achrya sri /History - Sriman Madhva-Gaudeshwar-Vasihnava Peetham.
The Supreme Lord Krishna combined with Srimati Radha Rani and incarnated as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to confer bhakti to all beings. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu performed Harinam sankirtan and conducted many congregational preaching activities, as a result of which innumerable devotees came to take his shelter. He asked his devotees to dedicate their lives to propagate His teachings.
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu bestowed His yellow anga-vastram and the mat that he sat on while chanting, to Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami and appointed him the Acarya of Sriman Madhva-Gaudeshwar-Vasihnava Peetham.
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu asked Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami to go to Vrindavan and locate the important past-time places of Sri Sri Radha Krishna and make them know to everyone. Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami’s contribution to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sampradaya is immense. He compiled various work like Sri Krishna Tatva Mimamsa, Hari Bhakti Vilas etc., while practicing his spiritual life in Vrindavan. Being pleased with the devotion of Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami the Supreme Lord Himself manifested from a Salagram Sila as Sri Radha Raman on the day of Vaishaka shukla purnima (full moon day of the Vaishaka month) in the
Year 1599.
Sri Damodar Goswami was the dearest disciple of Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami. He was assigned the task of serving Sri Radha Raman. Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami also anointed Sri Damodar Goswami as his successor to the Sriman Madhva-Gaudeshwar-Vasihnava Peetham. Sri Mathura Nath Goswami succeeded Sri Damodar Goswami. He was well versed in Srimad Bhagavatam and was renowned for his mellifluent discourses. He made Punjab and Sind the center of his activities and preached extensively in all directions.
Many great personalities like Vyakhyana Vachaspati, Sri Shoban Lal Goswami Ji Maharaja and Sri Vijay Krishna Goswami Ji Maharaja have adorned the Sriman-Madhva-Gaudeshwar-Vaishnava Peetham during their life times. They traveled from Vrindavan to various remote areas across the country, to carry out the mission of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Versed in various Vedic scriptures. He is the most reputed orator in India. His discourses are extremely fascinating.

H.H. is spreading the message of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu all over the world tirelessly, through his captivating discourses on various scriptures like Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Ramayana, and Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita.
H.H. Sri Sribhuti Krishna Goswami Maharaja lives in Sri Vaijayanti Ashram in Vrindavan, where the Sriman Madhva-Gaudeshwar-Vasihnava Peetham was originally established. H.H. has established branches of Sriman Madhva-Gaudeshwar-Vasihnava Peetham in cities like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Chandigarh and Jaipur. His articulate discourses are divine and filled with ancient esoteric philosophical truths, which are aimed at universal welfare. Thousands of people gather to listen to his captivating lectures in all parts of the country. His magnanimity, soothing advice and genuine concern for all makes him distinct amongst spiritual leaders. His disciples feel secure by his presence. In accordance with the glorious tradition of giving this knowledge to others H.H. runs a school to where subjects like Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Ramayana are taught. H.H. also oversees the setting up of medical camps to provide medical aid for the handicapped, old and needy.
H.H. Sri Pundrik Goswami, the worthy son of H.H. Sribhuti Krishna Goswami and the future successor to the Sriman Madhva-Gaudeshwar-Vasihnava Peetham is popular among the devotees. He is following the path of his predecessors, in spreading the message of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu through discourses on different vaishnava scriptures like Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Ramayan, Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita etc., all over the world so that people may benefit by knowing the real goal of their lives.
