1. Initially, at the time of construction of Ram-Setu (the bridge of rocks and boulders
made by the Vanar sena to reach Lanka), the rocks and the boulders started sinking in the ocean.
So, Prabhu Ram, by his Prameya Bal (direct kripa), made the rocks float upon the ocean,
by writing his name on them. This led to the creation of the divine bridge upon the ocean.
2. Inspite of being born in the Kshatriya Kul as a Rajkumar, he ate the sweet-n-sour berries (ber),
which were tasted by shabri to test their sweetness. The prabhu only thought of the Snehbhaav and Vatsalyabhaav (love and care)
behind her tasting the fruit. The concept, that there are no rules and restrictions in love, was enlightened here by Shri Ram.
3. By the divine grace of Ramchandraji, Gautam Rishi's wife - Ahilya, who was cursed by her husband to take form of a shila (rock), was absolved from the
curse, by a mere touch of the Lotus feet of the lord.
4. King Dashrath was given place in heaven and all the people of Ayodhya were given place in the lord's own abode (Nijdham). It clearly signifies that the
fruit (fal) of Maryada is heaven and the fruit of Prabhu seva is Prabhu's own abode (Nijdham).
