Sri: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, I am reminded of a great Tamil verse of Kambhan on Sri Rama naamam- the Divine Name that can fetch us anything and everything. I place that verse humbly for the enjoyment of Bhagawathas, Rama bhakthas, on this Janamdhin of Sri Rama. Rama-the Red Lotus eyed Lord of the Greatest Beauty, the embodiment of Heroism and Generosity, the most merciful, Most Compassionate Lord, who said "I am only on ordinary human being- son of Dasaratha". (AtmAnaam maanusham manyE Raamam dhasarathaatmajam." What a modesty! He lived the role of a human suffering all the while! [Manisarkaay padaadhana pattu] Our manatthukku iniyaan- the most endearing Lord- SrI Rama appeared on this day. asmadhAchAryan His Holiness Srimad ParavaakOttai Andavan has written a richly divine book in Tamil describing in sweet, simple and divine Tamil easily understandable even by us- narrating the sweetest Ramayana (upto Seetha Kalyanam) in his first release. The second book (upto Padhuka PattAbhishEkam) was also released. The articles are titled under Ramapiraanai kaRpOm- Let us learn [from] Rama? The series of articles are still being continued in PeraruLALan magazine... Sri NammAzhwAr says: (in Thiruvaymozhi 7.5) kaRpaar raamapiraanai allaal maRRum kaRparO? why would anyone learn anything but Rama? - One needs to learn only about Rama... He is the One who has no imperfections; who has only most auspicious kalyANa guNAs; who has indescribable, most wonderful valour strengths; who is jnAna swarUpi; who is the personification of Anandham; who is the Lord of all worlds; who establishes dharmA; who is the form of DharmA Himself (dharmO vigrahavaan); who takes avtaars only to protect the sAdhus and destroy their enemies (evil doers); who has long hands that touch the round strong knees; strongest mountain like shoulders; conch shell like beautiful neck; chubby, round cheeks; broad divine chest and He is the epitome of Handsomeness. He is the only refuge for everyone. saranAgatha rakshakan; He never ever swerves from his word (rAmOr dvirnAbhibAshathE..)- Rama never utters a word twice.. Kaman says: venRisEr ilankaiyaanai venRu maalveeran Odha ninRa, Ramayanatthin nigazhndhidu kadhaikaL thammil onRinai paditthOr dhaamum, uraitthidak kEttOr dhaamum nanRu idhu enROr dhaamum narakamadhu yeydhidaarE.. [Meaning: The One who conquered the king of LankA-about Him- This Ramayana- and those who read even of the stories (of Ramayana) and those who listen to such reading of such story (of Ramayana) and those who say, "wow! such a GREAT STORY - SUCH a Divine epic is Ramayana- - all those who do that will (be blessed with) never ever reach narakam (hell). [Heaven is also a golden cage hell] Rama shabhdham can do wonders to the devotee who utters the Divine Name of Rama: nanmaiyum selvamum naaLum nalgumE/ thiNmaiyum paavamum sidhaindhu thEyumE/ jenmamum maraNamum inRi theerumE/ immaiyE "Raamaa" enRa iraNdu yezhutthinaal. When one simply says or utters "Raamaa", one is blessed to receive all good qualities, and most auspicious, most prosperous life. All bad karmas and karmic diseases will all vanish. one is thoroughly freed of all future cycles of births and deaths. One will continue to enjoy in the glory of the Divine name Rama and is in Rama bhakthi saamraajyam. Jaya Jaya Mahaa veerA! Raamaa! Sri RamachandrA! ChathurmukhEswara mukhai puthra pouthadhishaalinE!
