"Rare Ramana video", with a wise Cow, and a monkey Prince!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w814-Pj3bm8

Queen lIlA and King Padma lead an idyllic life, but as they age lIlA fears that he might die first, in which case her own life would be intolerable. She does tapas to Goddess saraswatI and obtains the boon to have her husband’s spirit always with her. She and the goddess astral travel and time travel to see the couple’s prior life as simple brAhmaNas when her husband sees a lavish royal hunting party, creating a desire in him to possess the wealth of an empire. That desire manifests after King Padma dies and the queen and goddess see another reality in the deceased king’s mind. He is now King Viduratha ruling a vast empire with a second lIlA as his wife (III.15-30). –Palotas ed.

vasiSTha said:

दूरात्_दूरम्_अभिप्लुत्य शनैस्_उच्चैः पदम् गते ।

हस्तम् हस्ते समालम्ब्य यान्त्यौ ददृशतुः_नभः ॥१॥

From far to far they flew,

higher and higher soared together,

and together hand in hand

they looked toward the spacious sky...

-1-

**vlm.1. vasiSTha continued:—Thus ascending higher and higher, and by degrees reaching the highest station, they continued viewing the heavens with their hands clasped together.

अत्यन्त-शुद्धम् गंभीरम् प्रसन्नम्_अपि सज्जनात् ॥३॥

It was like an ocean,

expansive, deep, immaculate,

with comforting winds of constant happy delight,

refreshing rosy calm,

sunk in waters of Emptiness,

overwhelming and pure,

and deeper and more gracious than the very wise….

शृङ्ग.स्थ-निर्मल-अम्भोद-पीन-उदर-सुधा.आलये ।

On a mountain-peak pregnant with clouds they played,

where the full moon shone on every part.

-4-

सिद्ध-गन्धर्व-मन्दार-माल-आमोद-मनोहरे ।

चन्द्र-मण्डल-निष्क्रान्ते रेमाते मधुर-अनिले ॥३।२४।५॥

Passing among the siddha Adepts and gandharva Choristers,

they smelled the fragrance of the mandara flowers

that wafted in the wind.

सरसि_इव जल-आपूर-मन्थरे मेघ-मण्डले ॥३।२४।६॥

They bathed in their own sweat, perspiring in the day's heat;

and the sun was in a maNDala of clouds,

a lightning‑bright lotus in a still pond.

-6-

भूतल-ओघ-महा.शैल-मृग-अलङ्कर-कोटिषु ।

दिक्षु बभ्रमतु: स्वैरम् भ्रमर्यौ सरसीष्व् इव ॥३।२४।७॥

They saw the earth crowded with great mountains,

with many thousand beasts.

They wandered anywhere, those two, like two bees exploring a pond.

They wandered in a pavilion of blowing, flowing, wind-blown clouds.

शून्ये ददृशतुर् व्योम महारम्भ-अति.मन्थरम् ॥३।२४।९॥

Thereafter those two sweet travelers,

depending on their own powers,

saw,

in the Emptiness,

a sky of great extent, but very still.

-9-

अदृष्ट-पूर्वम् अन्योन्यम् सर्व.संकट-कोटरम् ।

अपूर्यमानम् आशून्यम् जगत्-कोटि-शतैर् अपि ॥३।२४।१०॥

It was not ever seen before by anyone,

that whole-crowded hollow:

an emptiness that's not filled,

even with a million worlds.

Higher,

higher,

so high they flew:

they saw another and another world,

the various wonderfiul ornamented forms of worlds;

and saw many SkyCars in the fulness of space.

They saw Mount meru in its family of mountains,

its slopes crimson in the sun,

a red lotus,

a fire like the conflagration of Doomsday;—

and peaks like pearls, snowy and white;—

and table-lands lustrous with gold, mountains of radiant pure gold;

and shining emerald mountains, covered in grassy green meadows; and they saw darkness, where seer and seen were all unseen,

darkness arising out of darkerness;—

and they saw SkyCars bannered with the pArijAta flower*,

as if they were in the vidUra country.

-11-15-

And they saw Great siddha Adepts going and coming in the wind,

fast as the mind,

in their SkyCars,

while their women chanted and sang.

with its great flood of creatures scarcely seen,

good and bad,

each one unseen by another.

there were kuSmANDa-s, rAkSasa Demons, pizAca-s,

maNDala-s of beings riding on the wind,

on the great highway of SkyCars,

riding their SkyCars,

and the clouds echoed the noise of their machines,

and all the planets, all the stars that rose above them as they flew.

अर्क-अश्व-मुख-वात-अस्त-दग्ध-मुग्ध-विमानकम् ॥२०॥

The flying siddha Adepts were near-burned,

too far from home,

getting too near the horses of the Sun,

and his great fire seared their faces.

सामान्य-सिद्ध-सङ्घ-उग्र-तेजः-पुञ्ज-तमस्-बलम् ॥३।२४।२२॥

They saw Kings, and apsara-s,

a great crowd wandering restlessly;

and a gathering of goddesses in smoky incense-clouds.

The bodies of those goddesses flew down from their heavens

like falling ornaments.

They saw the tribe of Siddha Adepts,

with their fierce energy stronger than darkness.

निरर्थम् योजन-शतम् गत्वागच्छद्भिर् आवृतम् ॥३।२४।२५॥

And from the warmth of the siddhas' gathering

snow fluttered down in flakes

that dressed the slopes of mighty meru.

And crows

and owls,

ravens,

vultures,--

a multitude of beings rushed about.

The tribe of DAkinI-s,

daughters of mother kAli,

danced like water in the ocean waves;

and the saGga of yoginI-s were there,

some with the faces of dogs, crows, camels, asses,

going a hundred leagues or more

without any purpose at all.

they saw the Brightling and the Darkling hordes,

sometimes gone east or west or north or south

in their wide wandering:

over a hundred thousand leagues high sometimes,

to unattainable mountains,

Somewhere they saw a lotus-pond in the sky,

and swans drrifting there, crying their calls of love;

somewhere they saw the heavenly gaGgA, with its aromatic lotuses: the very form of gaGgA and its tributary rivers,

filled with flying fish, alligators, and tortoises—

within the clouds.

And they saw the Sun sinking down to Netherworld,

as Earth's shadow covered it like a dark crow, somewhen;

and somewhen the eclipse of the moon.

Somewhere they saw the Garden of mAyA Illusion flying in the wind, with trembling snow-flowers.

Somewhere they saw a lotus-pond in the sky, and swans drrifting there, crying their calls of love; somewhere saw the heavenly Gangâ, with its aromatic lotuses: the very form of Gangâ and its tributary rivers, filled with flying fish, alligators, and tortoises—within the clouds. And they saw the Sun sinking down to hell, as Earth's shadow covered it like a dark crow, somewhen; and somewhen the eclipse of the moon.

Somewhere they saw the Garden of Mâyâ Illusion flying in the wind, with trembling snow-flowers. -64-

**vlm.3.24.65. They beheld all the beings contained in the three worlds,

to be flying in the air, like a swarm of gnats in the hollow of a

fig tree; and then the two excellent ladies stopped in their aerial

journey, intent upon revisiting the earth. NOTE. Most part of the above description of the heavens, consists of the various appearances of the clouds, and bears resemblance to Shelly's poetical description of them. All this is expressed by one word in the Cloud-Messenger of Kálidása, where the cloud is said to be "Káma rupa" or assuming any form at pleasure.

**sv.3.24.65 Like a couple of mosquitoes they roamed all these planes. *(Note: The description is graphic and detailed in the text. ) In short they saw all that was already in the mind of SarasvatI and which SarasvatI wanted to show to queen LIlâ.)
