Manache Shlok: A homage to the spiritual soul

Manache Shlok is a literature of a divine power who took birth in the form of person on this earth. Samartha Shree Ramdas Swami. A true Psychologist. A true legend who understood the real nature of mind so well that he showed mind, the path of living life. How to behave and how to cope-up with the situation in life is over all what Manache Shloka are about. Brainberg is trying to pay him a tribute by writing a series of articles on his thought process and his teachings. 

       He started it by paying homage to the source of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh that is Ganesha, the Aaradhya of all deities. Ganesha is the source of all Guna swaroop deities and he is the only source of Nirguna! He pays his homage to Devi Sharada, who is the Godess of language that is Vani. The reason behind doing so is, due to Vani we could recite the shlokas and we could appreciate the divine power that is God.

     And reason behind paying homage to Ganesha is, Ganesha is the source of knowledge, spirit and he is Omkar that beginning and end of the world. He is the truth and by paying him homage, Samartha is showing his belief that Vighnaharta Ganesh would bless him in his journey of writing Shlokas. It is a pure appreciation of God by letting him know that whatever I do is devoted to you. 

     By doing so, Samartha is surrendering everything to the spirit. It is a pure feeling of surrendering the ego and being ready to accept that whatever I do using my mind power is due to your blessing and I devote it to you, because it belongs to you only!
     He in this first Shloka says that by reciting the name of Ganesha and Sharada, we would accept the path of aanant that is Shreeram who is non-destroyable and continuous spirit. In this shloka, Samartha teaches us to surrender our ego and how it is important to do so. How it is important to get connected to our work and making it our Aaradhya.
