Mara to Rama

When the hunter Valmiki was unable to utter the sacred mantra “Rama” (One of the meanings of “Rama” is “Sat-Chit-Ananda” which means “Truthful eternal bliss”, Sage Narada advices him to repeat the word “Mara” (Meaning of Mara = Dead) which was quite easy to say for a hunter like him. When he repeated "Mara" many times, it sounded like chanting “Rama”. And it completely transformed the life of Valmiki from a hunter to a sage.

Two morals can be observed from the above story. The first one - When we don’t know how to do, following the advice of experts will help to accomplish the task. And my favourite lesson – Just do the karma, no one knows what comes out as the result. So, I will just blog, who knows one day my writings may become scriptures, Ha Ha. Just Kidding. It will become at least ruminating stuff for me.
