SAGE VISWAAMITRA

IN course of time, Dasaratha’s sons were born Rama of Causally and Brahma of Kaikeyi. Sumitra gave birth to twins, Lakshmana and Satrughna. She is having drunk the divine paayasam twice.

In proportion to the quantity of paayasam drunk by the respective mothers, the sons are traditionally considered to be parts of Vishnu. Rama was thus half-Vishnu.

But such calculations have no meaning, as it is impossible to measure the Infinite arithmetically. Sruit tells us that even a fraction of the Supreme Being is whole and complete by itself.

"Om Poornamadah Poornamidam Poornaat Poornamudachyate Poornasya Poornamaadaaya Poornamevaavasishyate."
