God Helps Those Who Help Themselves - "Aditya Hridaya Stotram" – Sri Agastya Rishi

 God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

Yes!  I am the strongest one

Who has come so far to conquer!

And only victory rules my soul

But somewhere in my heart

I know I am the weakest one

Who despite all good luck

Need courageous words to sing

 Just to remind me my strength

And that could only possible

 Through the blessings of my elders

And sacred souls.

Remember, o Shiva,

 I always need you

And one day

When my victory tale would be shared,

Your blessings over my head and motivating words

Would rule the world.

..-Arun Sharma

This is the story of Rama, a super soul with scratched heart. He had only one objective in his mind when Ravana forcefully abducted his love of life-Sita. To get back his love from his clutch and to stand back on his feet with courage and brevity.  

Was it asking too much from almighty ‘Shiv’? 

or was it wrongly prayed? 

No! it was not and that is why when he decided to stand against the powerful king Ravana, he was not lonely. He was supported and encouraged by all and treated as super soul.

In this story, while fighting against Ravana’s army, Rama had ultimately reached to climax of the war after killing all those evil forces who were blindly supporting the evil king. In the last phase when Rama came to know that tomorrow morning Ravana would come in the battle ground to fight against him. Rama, who was fighting without a fear or weakness, suddenly had cold feet. He who knew that sooner this stage had to come was not ready enough to stand against his enemy.  He was lacking a will to defeat him and thinking unforeseen consequences about the war to be fought. The ray of hope was diminishing under his own emotions. At that stage he needed guidance from wise men.

We all have this happen in our life when we go through such situation when we are struggling and surviving through all odds and suddenly start feeling weak without cogent reason. When a new problem arises out from the existing circumstances and started taking over us a weak and ephemeral being. At that moment of life only the courage gather in our soul can play a positive role and that is possible through gathering all our strength and will power.

God helps those who help themselves. Always understand this and never surrender before the circumstances. A good fight is better than living alive on enemy’s mercy.

Whenever you would strive for success and victory, the only person who would stand between yourself and victory is you and without making yourself strong, no success can be achieved. 

Again back to story, Sage Agastya on knowing this condition, went to Rama and assured, reminded him about his strength and told him this strot- a prayer to Sun God, asking and requesting to show him the path of victory and bless him with confidence and boosting of  strength .  Rama regained his consciousness and got ready to fight with Ravana. Ravana was not only defeated but was eliminated for good. This victory of Rama did not belong to him but to all those who stood by him in his troublesome period.

Now I am sharing that strot-hymn while translating it in Hindi and English for easy understanding. I have shared trance meaning of the hymn for those  with positive mind if they still recite it while feeling weak, helpless and can regain their hidden strength at first stance. Here the hymn goes like this:

ॐ अस्य आदित्यह्रदय स्तोत्रस्य अगस्त्यऋषि: अनुष्टुप्छन्दः आदित्यह्रदयभूतो

The whole battle scene started had started knocking his head. The ill condition of Sita, death of greatest warriors by Ravana’s army, knocking and coma of Lakshmana, the warful bravery shown by Indrajeet-Meghnaad, Kumbhakaran and others are flashing in his memory. He himself was driven in the situation of win-lose from win-win. Being a greatest war between a man of surviving nature and a monster of evil, many sages, kings and wisest persons including of Sage Agastya were witnessing the dilemma faced by Rama. All of them had sympathy and moral support for Rama and continuing praying for his victory. Therefore in that crisis Sage Agastya decided to play a menter’s role for Rama.
