RAMAYANA PARK - PREMIER PEACE PROJECT Home

A THEME FOR A DREAM:

Indian character and ethos have been valued and emulated from times immemorial. Not only has India been one of the earliest civilization, but has also witnessed the birth of religious convictions. "Ramayana", one of the earliest mythologies to be written represents the glory, greatness, purpose and joy of human birth, universally and eternally. This, Universally acclaimed Indian character and ethos originated, was sustained, valued and sublimated in the life and work of Rama par excellence. It represents the glory, greatness, purpose and joy of human birth universally and eternally. There were no destitute or unhappy people in his kingdom. "Ramrajyam" can be perceived as the ideal existence for human societies anywhere in the world as the personal and social values therein are exemplary, worthy of emulation, practicable, challenging and superior to all known systems of this day.

About Ramayana park

We propose to develop 100 acres of land for this purpose in the outskirts of Visakhapatnam city in Andhra Pradesh, India. The estimated cost is US $ 1 Million (Rs. 5 Cr), to be raised through contributions and public funds. All contributions are exempted from taxation. We hope to engender contributions from all countries with noble cultural aspirations and interest in Indian Mythology. The frescoes, models, books and pictorials will be cherished as divine art. Their aesthetics and splendor will hold connoisseurs of art spellbound. The Ramayana Park will romanticize the epic with its cherished values of peace, spirituality, science and cosmic religious musings.

Sri Rama Pattabhisekham

Ramayana Park is not only a Historical, Educational, Cultural and Spiritual Cynosure but the new millennium's hope for good governance and Peace. To understand the essence of life and for mankind to realize the meaning and purpose of it, religious scriptures and biographies have been consulted before undertaking this project. All of these have established undeniably, "Ram" as the epitome of human virtues. It is with this lasting belief that the Ramayana Park is being constructed. We wish to create a heavenly human society in India and in the world. Our motto is to promote peace and happiness in human life, which will motivate people towards interminable good work.

Ramadarbar
Looking at it gives great spiritual knowledge and peace of mind. Ram Ram.Srirama Darbar with Hanuman, Lakshmana, Rama and Sita. There is a beautiful painting of Raja Ravi Varma which is treasured in all traditional households. It leaves a happy impression and feeling on the mind and heart of the beholder. Can we compare any other God with Srirama? Impossible! Every house and Temple should keep this picture. It made permanant impression on my mind from 1940. I have it now before me! Can we understand the qualities of the characters presented in the picture? Crores of saints, sages, writers, composers, devotees and scholars sang praises on them. Such qualities are not found in any other deities known so far. I changed my name to Ram Ram in submission to them. Chanting Ram Ram is the only way one can experience the divinity in the picture of Ramdarbar. It comes naturally without any effort mysteriously. This is the Secret in Creation itself. Million pictures of other Gods or deities cannot give that experience of peace and happy feeling. When I sat at the feet of Lord Balaji at 3. 30 A M long ago, the priests came singing Suprabhatam " Koushalya Supraja Rama..". After the completion of the ritual, when I sought the blessings of the Lord, He instructed me to note this Truth that he is Srirama only and should be worshiped as such only! I immediately took up chanting Ram Ram. He blessed me and further instructed that "Everybody Govinda and everything Govinda" is the wrong prayer.  

Rama sita and Lakshmana

He dictated to me " Karavalamba Stotram " which was later published by the great Sanskrit scholar Sri Kappagantula Laksmana Sastri with his observation that it was the Lord's word. I wrote about it in my books already. Every temple should have a gosala also as the Lord was taking cow's milk only.Goodness is valued in society. It is the measure of an enlightened person also. " My goodness" means something different. God means "Compassion, mercy, kindness and help". Mother is another word for God! There is thus " Godness" in mother! How to promote this quality in human beings in general was the work of Rishis. Their Prayer "Sarvetrasantu Sukhinah.." is its proof. It is recited everywhere by our Gurus and Swamis. How to bring it about was important. The percentage of good people appears to have declined in some societies who indulge in violence and inhuman activities. Wars were the result of that condition. The preparedness for war is also a sign of degeneration. It has become a perpetual feature of govt.s now. Kings used to be at war with eachother earlier. People bear the brunt for the evil in the rulers. In most celebrations, they present "swords" to the leaders even now which is reprehensible. "Sword of knowledge" is different. Is there a way to transform people into good human beings? It was discovered by the Vedic Rishis. If one chants Ram Ram, the Vibration works miracles in removing bad ideas and traits we are heir to. It purifies the mind, body and soul of a person. This is "Godness " a new word that suggested to me! God is seated in every heart. This sd. be activated. Chanting Ram Ram is the sure way found by the Rishis. It was recorded in Ramayana and Ramarajyam resulted. Neglecting it, we became slaves, diseased, poor and backward people in the world. Gandhiji found the formula "Patitapavana Sitaram" and brought us Freedom. As a grateful nation, let us preserve the value of Freedom and work to build Ramarajyam as aimed by our forebears and Gandhiji. Ram Ram.Very valuable information. Life is short to know the entire mythology and commentaries on Vedic literature. It is huge ocean. I spent many years swimming in it and the shore is never reachable. Finally, by God's grace I got the boat of Ramanamam which took me to the destination miraculously.

Rama sita and Lakshmana

Tyagaraja sang about Moksham and prescribed Ramabhakti as the ideal path for realising it. Ramanamam is equivalent to million Mantras. Chanting Ram Ram Ram transforms the entire being, body, mind and soul. We get purified and experience the divinity and ineffable joy. It is fulfillment and Realisation. It is described in so many ways. People lived in peace and happiness in Ramarajyam, kingdom of God on Earth. Demons conspired against it and made our Gurus and Swamis fall a prey to other attractions. They in turn mislead the innocent people with multifarious deities, Mantras, pujas, Homums etc. Poverty, diseases, beggars and all evils plagued the people. Those who continued in Ramabhakti were protected. That was Rama's vow. "Sakrudeva prapannaya.. Abhayam.." This is the tragedy of India that wrong philosophy and worship-habits were developed making people suffer hell. This is a great secret in Creation itself. Saints realised this and warned people. Tyagaraja clearly stated "Ooraka chedipokandi". I met many great saints and Himalayan Rishis also. They changed my name as Ram Ram and advised me to spread Ramabhakti which alone can improve the conditions in our country. Crores of people are rotting in subhuman conditions. If the majority of people chant Ram Ram, it will give the benefits to the ignorant people also. This is the faith of our Rishis. Our Gurus and Swamis sd. seriously introspect and stop jumping Radha Radha and start chanting Ram Ram. I beg of them to spread Ramabhakti to all corners of the country. They sd. go to the villages and avoid spiritual gossip and foreign luxury tours. Forgive my impertinence, Hey Ram! Ram Ram.
