0997.Encounters With Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Comments

Wonderful stories. The first story of Garuda relasing Rama & Lakshmana from Nagasthra bonds, has been my favourite story from a very long time. In this story there is another important fact Audi Kavi Valmiki tries to reveal. When Lord Garuda releases Lord Rama and Lord Lakhan from Nagastrra, They both try to bow Lord Garuda. Garuda evades and tell Rama and Lakhan that they were old friends and that they shoud not bow him. Rama pleads ignorance of their earlier friendship.......this is how it goes on. Which means Rama through out the story remains ignorant of His Godliness that He was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and conquers (prefers to conquer) the mighty Ravana with His human form....
