thank you shesha-talpa-sukha-nidhrita-rama brahmadyamara-prarthita-rama so this is the naam ramayan and it is described the various names of lord Rama are described in this to as a means to stimulate his remembrance to remember his position and his pastimes so previous verse described how he is the absolute truth who is transcendental to transcendence and when he manifests in this world he manifests his time and as the supreme Ishwara so now it is described how his pastimes began in his manifestation as a Ram shesha-talpa-sukha-nidhrita-rama shesha on the bed of shesha sukha-nidhrita-rama sukha-nidhrita he was happily sleeping bhakta sudhanshu thakur describes that the lord’s sleep is not tamasic like our sleep it is he says creative sleep you know it is even in that sleep he creates he creates the it is in his the whole world is his dream it is in his dream itself it is being created and in his dream it is being it is being manifested so normally we can’t do much in our dream dreams when you are sleeping nothing happens but even when the lord is sleeping the whole creation goes on but brahma-adhyamara-prarthita-rama when the lord is sleeping it is not tamasic he is in his sleep also he is absorbed in he is a mystic slumber and that mystic slumber he is actually in samadhi of course in samadhi we could say that there is a state of absorption in the lord that we achieve but when we say the lord is in samadhi that means he is absorbed in himself and he is delighting himself so to the world he appears as sleeping but within himself he is delighting eternally now brahma-adhyamara-prarthita-rama brahma-adhyamara-prarthita-rama so brahma and others amara-prarthita so all these great devatas they all came together and they prayed to lord ram brahma-adhyamara-prarthita-rama they told lord ram that actually the world is filled the cosmic order has been disrupted by this great demon ravana and because of the benedictions that he has got from shiva and other devata lord shiva especially nobody can defeat him only you have to come oh lord please rescue us please please rescue us they begged to the lord and the lord who is always seeing his devotees in distress he immediately agreed to come and he told that yes the message was conveyed in a mystical way to the devotees to the devatas who were afflicted who were also his devotees that he would definitely come to rescue them so the lord is actually transcendental he is beyond this world and at the same time he is eminently available not just transcendental but he is also available he makes himself available periodically as the avatars who descend whenever the cosmic order is disrupted by some demons and he was also available in the super soul manifestation where we can turn inwards and meditate on him and he is also available to us as his holy name and that nama the holy name of the lord is an eminently attractive merciful manifestation of him by meditating on his holy name by calling out those holy names by relishing those holy names we connect with him easily and joyfully and march towards his eternal abode so the lord has manifested himself in his mercy so merciful manifestation as the holy name sometimes we may also feel that oh there is so much disorder in my life my mind just like demons disrupt the cosmic order similarly the demon like mind is disrupting the order in my consciousness and I think is the super soul sleeping why is the super soul not helping me super soul is eager to help we just have to ask him for help we have to call out to him for help this is brahma adhyamara prarthita rama this is brahma and adhyatas prayed to ram similarly when we pray to him he will also manifest his mercy and manifest his potency manifest his wisdom and that that when he manifests his gives us the intelligence by which we can come back to him that means he will enable us empower us enable us to curb this disruptive demons of lust anger greed and we pride illusion that have occupied our mind and through the mind they are tormenting us so he will give us the strength we just have to call out to him and receive his merciful empowerment through his holy names
