Spiritual Initiation or Mantra Diksha

“Faith in the guru’s words. You should depend on his instruction. Do your duties in the world, holding fast to his words, like a person whirling round and holding fast to a pillar. One must not look on one’s guru as a mere human being: it is Satchidananda Himself who appears as the guru. When the disciple has the vision of the Ishta, through the guru’s grace, he finds the guru merging in Him.”  
    – Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa


In the Ramakrishna Order, in India, Only the Revered President Swamiji and the Vice-President Swamijis, initiate devotees into Spiritual Life. However, there are other Senior monks abroad who initiate. We recommend all interested spiritual aspirants to read a small booklet titled ‘Initiation’ (this book has been translated into various languages),by Swami Bhuteshanandaji Maharaj, the 12th President of the Ramakrishna Order. This book is available in almost all the centres of Ramakrishna Order.

Interested Devotees who are willing to obtain Mantra Diksha will have to complete reading the following books before filling the application:


 Minimum one volume is to be read:

1. Sri Ramakrishna – Life and Teachings

2. Sri Sarada Devi – Life and Teachings

3. Swami Vivekananda – His Life and Legacy

4. The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

Ramayana Places in Sri Lanka

 




One of the greatest epics
of Hindu Mythology,
the Ramayana is not just a tale,
 but also an educational medium that has taught us the code of conduct or 'Dharma'
 through the ages.

Important Ramayana Places in Sri Lanka - Video


"ராவணன் இலங்கையிலும் பிறக்கவில்லை தமிழனும் இல்லை"

13 Ramayana related places in Sri Lanka


************
In Ramayana,there is a broad discussion regarding Rishi Agastya.. who also gave idea to Ram regarding capturing the sea to cross it. it is also mentioned in the Ramayana that Agastya is considered as the father of the Tamil language and the compiler of the first Tamil grammar, in Tamil tradition he is called Agattiyam or Akattiyam. Agastya has been a culture hero in Tamil traditions and appears in numerous Tamil texts.
********************

The oldest known epic in Tamil Silappathikaram refers to Ramayana.

"பெருமகன் ஏவ லல்ல தியாங்கணும்
அரசே தஞ்சமென் றருங்கான் அடைந்த
அருந்திறல் பிரிந்த அயோத்தி போலப்
பெரும்பெயர் மூதூர் பெரும்பே துற்றதும்"

Meaning: Kaviripompattinam became sorrowful like Ayodhya did when Rama left for forest on his father's orders

Although a full fledged epic/translation was not written till Kambar did in 9th/12th century CE , the epic was known in Tamil Nadu well before that.
