The Positive Thinking BK 163
--------------------------------------------------

(This sloka is regarded as Ramayana's First Sloka. One day Valmiki was travelling beside Ganga and He suddenly heard sweet chirping of birds. Valmiki moved towards the sound and discovered that two Krouncha birds - male and female were romancing (having physical romance). That was a very beautiful scene. Valmiki felt delighted, He kept watching the birds standing there. The two male and female birds were completely absorbed and lost in each other.
Suddenly Valmiki heard a loud cry of pain and noticed the male bird fell on the ground. Thick red blood came out of its chest. Valmiki understood that the male bird has been shot. Yes, actually it was. A hunter threw an arrow towards the bird. The hunter soon came there to collect the dead body of the bird.
But, Valmiki was very much sad and angry. He said to that hunter, "Not only human being, but, even animal couples should not be hurt/disturbed when they are romancing being Kaammohitam. You have done a sin by doing it etc"
Actually, Valmiki said this in Sanskrit. And that is the first Sloka of the oldest epic of India- Ramayana!
The sloka is-

"Maa Nishada Pratistham 

Tvamagamahsāsvati SamaaYat 

Kraunchamithunaadekam 

Avadhi 

Kaamamohitam"  

Later Lord Bramha came to him (Valmiki) and requested Him to write Ramayana. But, actually this was the first Sloka of Ramayana! )



BHAARATHAM!
The ancient land of thought!
The Positive!

The Rishi chanted the Hymn;
The Knowledge Pure the Positive;
The Pragmatic!

It was the Rishi who ascertained;
"Ma!" the firm "Don't!";
The affirmation of the path sacred;
The righteous!

Thus the "Ramayana" the first epic;
The twinkling trueness;
The Great Story of Rama;
The King of Ayodhya!

2.
The Rishi composed the "Kavya";
The great poetic Saga;
For the goodness of the posterity.

The "Ma!" is negative;
But
Positive the thought!

3.
My Heart always beating;
"Lub Dub" "Lub Dub";
The Clock tick-ticking;
The "Clockwise";
Thus the Time is being born!

4.
The Future-Present-Past
Moving to the Left;
To be the Ring;
The Circular Continuum!;
The Wheel!

5.
The Word the weakest;
The feeblest;
The most fragile;
The poorest;
The mode of expression!

6.
The Rishi stringing Ramayana;
In his Celestial Tune;
The Breath;
Of the Moment Immortal!

7.
The Song of Love;
Being chanted by the Flow;
The Sky tranquil;
Echoing the gentle Breeze;
The Sweetness;
Of this Spell:
The Nonexisting!
