RAMAYANA REVELATION DAY 1
Jatayu – Devotion enables you to go beyond your capacity & develop fearlessness
# When Demon Ravana kidnapped Sita and was taking her to his kingdom, he was challenged by Lord Rama’s great devotee Jatayu. Jatayu, a vulture who was very old at that time and could hardly move, could not tolerate Lord’s wife being kidnapped by a demon.
# Though, he stood no chance against the mighty cruel Ravana, he went much beyond his capabilities and gave a great fight to Ravana and eventually gave his life in the service of the Lord.
# When Lord Rama came and saw Jatayu just about to die, He took him in His lap and told him “On this very day, I am sending you to my eternal abode, Vaikuntha”
# If we deeply think, who was the actual winner in the battle? Was it Ravana, whose whole dynasty was destroyed or was it the great devotee Jatayu, who although lost his life, but got the highest liberation – a place in Lord’s abode.
** Moral: In the unalloyed service of the supreme Lord, there is no defeat irrespective of external circumstances and situations.
