2. Introduction with a prayer
 After remembering Sri Ganesh & Sri Hanuman
and keeping Sita and Ram in our hearts, we want
to express our thoughts and share our eternal
bliss, contentment & happiness with all of you.
 Lets dive into the ocean of Bhakti (love for God)
in the Sundarkand of Ram Charitmanas and try to
pick up some jewels (easy tips) to please Lord
Ram.

3. Why Ram ?
Lord Ram is incarnation of GOD in a human form. He is
omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, an ocean
of mercy and the source of happiness.
If he looks at us with mercy:
 All negative things become positive (poison becomes the elixir,
enemies become friends & the ocean seems like a shallow pit)
 We succeed in our lives, earn fame , become happy and enjoy
eternal bliss.
 If we want happiness , success and no adverse reactions in life
we should look for mercy of Lord RAM
 Ref-Sundarkand Doha-30,5

human beings who help others

Sant even for little while is more beneficial and powerful
than the happiness of living in heaven or attaining
salvation.

10. Serve Lord Ram’s Devotees and get
their blessing
 Sri Hanumanji served Mother Sita and got her blessings
Doha-17 Ajar amar gunanidhi sut hohu|
Karahu bahut Raghunaayak chhohooll
• Jamvantji glorifies Hanuman’ deeds
Doha -30 Nath Pawan Sut kin jo karani
Sahaso mukh na jai so barani
Pavantanay ke charit suhaae |
Jaamavant Raghupatihi sunaae ||
Sunat krupaanidhi man ati bhaae |
Puni Hanumaan harashi hiy laae

11. Be a Ram Devotee(Das)
 Lord Ram loves his devotees. Hanumanji tells
Vibhishan that it is Shri Ram’s nature to always
love his Bhaktas(servants)
Doha-7 Sunahu Bibheeshan prabhu kai reetee |
Karahi sada sevak par preetee |
 Sitaji tells Hanumanji that Lord Rama provides all
happiness to his Devotees
Doha-14 Sahaj baani sevak sukhdaayak|

12.  Ram is holy name. Just chanting his name purifies the
hearts and souls of the devotees. Praising the Lord provide
eternal pleasure thereby eliminating all sorrows of life.
 Dacoit Ratnakar turned into Sage Valmiki by chanting
even the reverse name of Rama which is Mara
 Hanumanji praises Lord Ram qualities to Mother Sita
Doha- 13 Raamchandra gun baranai laaga|

 Vibhishan advises Ravan to chant the name of Ram and
glorify his deeds. Lord Ram loves everyone without any
expectations
Doha- 39 Bhajahu Raam binu hetu sanehee
Chanting, listening, singing and
Glorifying Rama

13. Fight and conquer 5 enemies
 Kam(lust) and Moh(attachment) lead to
Lobh(greed). If one gets what he desires, it further
increases attachment. If desires are not fulfilled, they
lead to anger(Krodh). Anger corrupts the minds
which leads to doing wrong things. Matsar (Jealousy)
is the worst. You must kill it.
Doha -38
Kaam krodh mad lobh sab nath narak ke panth |
Sab parihari Raghubeerahi bhajahu bhajau je sant

14. Work is Worship
 Do your duties as prescribed in our holy and sacred
books(Granth) e.g Srimad Bhagwad Gita, Bhagwat
Puran and Ramayan without expecting result of work.
Doha-48 Samdarsi Iksha Kachhu Nahi
Harash Shok bhay nahi man mahi
Sagun upasak parhit nirat Neeti drad Nem
Te nar Pran saman mam Jinh ke duij pad prem
