ഉമാ മഹേശ്വര സംവാദം | Uma Maheswara Samvada

The importance of Adhyatma Ramayana is mentioned in its introduction as the discussion between Lord Mahesa and the Universal mother under the title Uma Maheswara Samvada. Here Uma, the Universal mother or prakrithi requests Lord Maheswara, who is the all-knowing guru and her sweet heart, to enlighten her about the essence of the godhood of Rama so as to understand the different schools of philosophy starting from Samkhya and also to attain perfection because realising the truth regarding Rama will enlighten one to attain self-realisation.

During the Uma Maheswara Samvada, Lord Siva himself rapturously enlightens Devi Parvati on the unique greatness of Guru. All our sacred texts unanimously proclaim that Guru embodies the Supreme Principle, he guides the disciple with love and discipline on the tortuous spiritual path, he recognises the varying equipment and requirements of every Adhikari (qualified) disciple, he identifies and removes the pitfalls accordingly and grants the ultimate fulfilment.
