Shri Ram Shalaka Prashnavali
A traditional question method based on 9 chaupais of Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas. It is a practice of faith. The chaupai itself stays in Hindi.
How to use Ram Shalaka
- Calm down and remember "Om Shri Ramaya Namah".
- Hold your question in mind as one clear sentence (instead of yes/no, something like "What would be right for me to do?").
- Close your eyes, or follow your heart, and touch any one square.
- Counting every 9th letter from that square forms a chaupai. The site shows that path and then opens the chaupai.
The 9 chaupais and their signs
| Chaupai | Sign |
|---|---|
| सुनु सिय सत्य असीस हमारी। पूजिहि मन कामना तुम्हारी॥ | Favourable: From the episode of Sita ji's worship of Gauri: Maa Gauri's blessing that the heart's wish will be fulfilled. Traditionally regarded as an auspicious sign. |
| प्रबिसि नगर कीजे सब काजा। हृदयँ राखि कोसलपुर राजा॥ | Favourable: From the episode of Hanuman ji entering Lanka: the lesson of beginning work while remembering the Lord. An auspicious sign for a new start. |
| उघरहिं अंत न होइ निबाहू। कालनेमि जिमि रावन राहू॥ | Caution: From the description of satsang: a sign to beware of show and deceit. Check again before deciding, and don't rush. |
| बिधि बस सुजन कुसंगत परहीं। फनि मनि सम निज गुन अनुसरहीं॥ | Caution: From the description of satsang: the influence of company. Keep away from the wrong company; the outcome is considered uncertain, so move thoughtfully. |
| होइहि सोई जो राम रचि राखा। को करि तर्क बढ़ावै साखा॥ | Patience: From the dialogue of Shiva and Parvati: what is to happen will happen. The lesson is to make your effort and leave the result to faith. |
| मुद मंगलमय संत समाजू। जो जग जंगम तीरथराजू॥ | Favourable: From the episode describing the gathering of saints as auspicious as the king of pilgrimages. Traditionally the question is regarded as auspicious. |
| गरल सुधा रिपु करहिं मिताई। गोपद सिंधु अनल सितलाई॥ | Favourable: From the episode of Hanuman ji entering Lanka: the sense of a difficulty becoming easy. Traditionally a very auspicious sign. |
| बरुन कुबेर सुरेस समीरा। रन सन्मुख धरि काहुँ न धीरा॥ | Doubt: From Mandodari's lament: even those of great strength could not stand in battle. A sign of doubt about the task being completed; review your preparation and plan. |
| सुफल मनोरथ होहुँ तुम्हारे। रामु लखनु सुनि भए सुखारे॥ | Favourable: From the episode of Vishwamitra ji's blessing in the flower garden: an auspicious sign that the wish will be fulfilled. |
This is a traditional interpretation. Reflect calmly on the meaning of the chaupai and decide with your own judgement and expert advice. Do not look again and again for the same question. Do not use this for health, legal or investment decisions.
