SPECIALITY OF RAMA – STORY
Valmiki asks Narada who could be the one who is always pleasing.
Narada replies that Lord Rama is the One who is always pleasing. Some are pleasing to a few but not to others. Some are pleasing at times, but unpleasant at other times. But Rama is always pleas to everyone. Even His enemies melt on seeing Him.
Rama is praised by those we are not well disposed to wards Him
To be praised by one’s family or by one’s friends does not count. But what of one’s enemies? Praise from one’s enemies is a true praise indeed, and Rama is One universally praised.
Rama is so good looking that Viswamitra, forgetting the purpose for which he has brought Rama to the forest-namely to kill asuras – falls for His charming looks. This is like a man at a wedding feast, who, instead of eating what is placed before him, analyses how each dish might
We see evidence of Rama’s pleasing nature in many places in the Ramayana Viswamitra finds even the sleeping Rama charming and wakes Him up with the famous words “Kausalya Supraja Rama”
Why does Viswamitra say, “Kausalya’s son,” and not Dasaratha’s son?
The answer comes later in the Ayodhya Kanda. Rama has been banished, and Dasaratha and Kausalya are inversation. Kausalya says have been made.
Kausalya has only one son Rama and He has been exiled. So what consolation does she have, she asks her husband Viswamitra’s words addressing Rama as kausalya’s son are therefore apt.
Rama is praised even by His enemies. This is His Speciality.
