Myths..............but It works...


RAMCHARITMANAS  PRASHNAVALI


We have studied ramcharitmanas most of time but are u aware of Ramcharit Prashnavali and its importance?
Here it is.........
Ramshalaka Prashnavali is very familiar to those who are familiar with Ram Charit Manas. This prashnavali is generally given in the beginning of the book and is like an oracle for people who have faith. If you have question about some activity you plan or would like to know if a particular situation will get work out in your favor, you can put the question to Ramshalaka Prashnavali. As per the instructions to use the prashnavali, the person with the question should pray to Lord Rama and then with eyes closed, put a finger (or a blunt pointed probe) on one of the squares of the matrix of letters below. Write the letter that is there in the selected square. Than start counting from Next Square and write the letter in 9th square from the chosen square. (For example, if you put your finger on square marked *, the 9th square would be the one marked ‘9’). Keep doing this and join the letters. The words that are formed would be from one of the nine verses (chaupai) given below. Interpretation of the verse that is formed by adding the letters is given below each verse. These verses are a part of Tulasi Das’s Ramcharit Manas, but who invented this prashnavali itself is not clear. This prashnavali is a part of long tradition in northern India and I have just reproduced it below. Rajiv Krishna Saxena.
