Ganga Sagar is a holy pilgrimage site for Hindus located in the South 24 Parganas of West Bengal. The place is called Ganga Sagar because here the Ganga meets the ocean. The place is situated in an island. The holy Kapil Muni’s ashram is also situated here. The mythological story of Ganga’s descent by Bhagiratha Raja and Kapil Muni, Raja Sagar’s 60,000 son are associated with this holy place. After three decades once again, the conversational recital of Ram Katha by Morari Bapu has begun for nine days.
This Ram Katha, started with the title ‘Manas Ganga Sagar’. Bapu said in the beginning of the story that in an era Bhagiratha brought Ganga here for the salvation of his ancestors, who had migrated from Ganga Kailash and merged into Ganga Sagar. Ram Katha is also a Kailashi story. She has come out of Kailash because Shiva himself has sung and he has called the story Ganga. Talking about the elemental confluence of Ganga and Sagar, Bapu said that the joining of Ganga and Sagar is an excellent example of refuge. There is no conflict in refuge and there is not much contact in refuge.
Bapu divided the speech of Ramcharitmanas into four types. Shivaji’s ‘Para Vani’ , Kakbhushundiji’s speech as ‘Pashyanti Vani’, Yagyavalkya’s speech as ‘Madhyama Vani’ and Tulsidas ji’s as ‘Vaikhari Vani’. Bapu explained the importance of worship of Panchdevas . Bapu kept the point of Swami Sharananandji , that the person should never be considered a Guru and the Guru should never be considered a person. Guru is a person in person. During this discussion, Bapu described three types of vishad –Vishay vishad, visham vishad and vishak vishad. In the case of Vandana, Bapu said that until the second seems indescribable and condemnable, then understand that our vision is corrupted. When you awaken a feeling of vindication towards everyone, then understand that your vision has become pure. Touching many aspects of Mangalacharan, Bapu ended the story.
