सीतानाथ समारम्भां रामानन्दार्य मध्यमाम्।
अस्मदाचार्य पर्यन्तां वन्दे श्रीगुरू परम्पराम् ।।
Although everything of Ānand Bhāshyakār Śrīmad Jagadguru Rāmānandāchārya is unique but one of the most unique thing that I personally like is, “He was Damm!! strict on the word like Brahma". Non of his disciple dares to speak the word “BRAHM". When Śrīmad Jagadguru Rāmānandāchārya has written commentry on Brahma Sūtra know as Śrī Ānand Bhāshya than one of his disciple said, “O Gurudev! I have never seen such a beautiful representation of Brahman in Prasthanatrai's Bhashya." अब होना क्या था😂
Śrīmad Ādya Jagadguru Rāmānandāchārya frown his brows to that disciple and said, “What is this Brahman-Brahman, that Supreme Purusha name has been said by Rahasya Vedānt and he is Śrī Rām alone, get away from my sight"
Here many people are not able to understand why Śrī Ācharya Charan has said Rahasya Vedānt (=Rahasya Upanishad). Let's break this mystery !!
See, Vedas top notch parts are Upaniṣads that's why they are called as Vedānt, where Vedas get end (वेदांत= वेद + अंत, जहां वेदों का अंत होता है). And in that top notch, Rahasya Vedānt are the top most or we can say superior to other Vedānt as siad in Śrī Sukha Rahasya Upanishad;
चतुर्णामपि वेदानां यथोपनिषदः शिरः ।
इयं रहस्योपनिषत्तथोपनिषदां शिरः ॥
Shuka Rahasya Upanishad 1.14
Just as the Upanishads are the highest among the four Vedas, so the Rahasya Upanishad is the highest among all the Upanishads.
Now come to Rahasya Upanishad;
1.
एतेषु चैव सर्वेषु तत्त्वं च ब्रह्म तारकम् ।
राम एव परं ब्रह्म राम एव परं तपः ।।
राम एव परं तत्त्वं श्रीरामो ब्रह्म तारकम् ।।
वायुत्रेणोक्तास्ते योगीन्द्रा ऋषयो विष्णुभक्ता हनूमन्तं पप्रच्छुः रामस्याङ्गानि नो ब्रूहीति ।
वायुपुत्रं विघ्नेशं वाणीं दुर्गां क्षेत्रपालकं सूर्यं चन्द्रं नारायणं नारसिंहं वायुदेवं वाराहं तत्सर्वान्त्समात्रान्त्सीतं लक्ष्मणं शत्रुघ्नं भरतं विभीषणं सुग्रीवमङ्गदं जाम्बवन्तं प्रणवमेतानि रामस्याङ्गानि जानीथाः (Above, eva = एव means Alone)
(Atharvavedā Shākhāyam Rām Rahāshya Upanishād 1.6/7½)
Overall meaning ~
Alone Śrī Rām is Highest Brahman, Alone Śrī Rām is Highest Penance, Alone Śrī Ram is Highest Tattva and Alone Śrī Rām is Tārak Brahma. And rest Śrī Hari Nārāyan, Śrī Vārāha, Śrī Vāsudeva (Krishnā), Śrimati Durga, Śrī Sūrya etc. all are his parts (manifestation).
2.
प्रज्ञानादिमहावाक्यरहस्यादिकलेवरम् ।
विकलेवरकैवल्यं त्रिपाद्राममहं भजे ॥
(Krishna Yajurveda Shäkhāyam Shuka Rahasya Upanishad 1.1)
Overall meaning ~
Prag-gyanam brahm etc. Maha-Vakyās of Ved-Vedant are dedicated to Tri-Pād vibhuti Śrī Rām alone !
3.
प्रतियोगिविनिर्मुक्तब्रह्मविद्यैकगोचरम्
अखण्डनिर्विकल्पं तद्रामचन्द्रपदं भजे ॥
(Krishna Yajurveda Shäkhāyam Saraswati Rahasya Upanishad 1.1)
I worship the lotus feet of Lord Shri Ramchandra, who has no alternative, i.e. he is Nirvikalpa, when Brahmavidya is said, only Shri Ram is visible and who is free from all kinds of competition (to be superior as nobody can be like him).
For that reason Śrī Ādya Jagadguru Rāmānandāchārya said “Rahasya Vedānt".
Well, forget this Rahasya Upanishad, every single letter of Vedas are dedicated to Śrī Rām alone as siad;
समस्तवेदान्तसारसिद्धान्तार्थकलेवरम् ।
विकलेवरकैवल्यं रामचन्द्रपदं भजे ॥
(Sarv Sāar Upanishad 1.1)
Overall meaning ~
I worship lotus feet of Śrī Rām to whome alone every meaning of Ved-Vedant is dedicated. It means that where ever Supreme Purusha has been discussed in Vedās he is Śrī Rām alone !!
