SeythArEl nannu SeythAr enbar pOlum...
Courtesy: the main thread in this is taken from an article in malayALa
manOramA online
The month of SrI rAmAyaNam for us is coming to its end soon. The houses in
Kerala are filled with SrI rAma smaraNa, and the recitation of SrI adhyAthma
rAmAyaNam of thunchathu rAmanujan ezhutthachan. How we see thunchatthu
achAryarn is as the father of malayALam, and the gifted acharya who gave us
the amritham of SrI rAmA katha through SrI adhyAthmA rAmAyaNam kiLippATTu.
With utmost SrI rAma bhakthi thunchathu rAmAnujAn ezhutthachan wrote SrI
adyathma rAmayaNam. His SrI rAmabhkthi was to that extent where he saw all
characters in SrI rAmAyaNam as SrI rAmabhakthAs, in one way or other. So
how can rAvaNa be a SrI rAmabhakthA ?? To understand this question one
should also think of the previous history of rAvaNa. In SrImad bhAgavatham
3rd canto, chapter 15&16 there is a story regarding jaya and vijaya being
cursed by saunaka etal., hence the excommunicated (from vaikunTam) jaya and
vijaya were so upset that they lost the kainkaryam. Immediately Sriya:pathi
came into scene and consoled them that they will take birth as mortals for
three janmas and come back to vaikuntam and in all the three janmas they
take birth as rakshasa yOni with kOpa: smaraNa on SrIman nArAyaNan. In all
the three births bhagavan him self will kill them and end of the third birth
the curse will be over. So what was their first birth ? " hiranyaksha and
hiranyakaSipu" both got finished off by SrI varAha perumAL and SrI narasimha
mUrthi. Their kOpA : smaraNa of bhagavan is so famous....paLLIyilothi vantha
siruvan vAyil orAyira namam...." The second birth was our anti hero rAvaNa
and kumbhakarna. The third was SisupAla and danthavakthra. Lets concentrate
on our character rAvaNan
It is specifically mentioned in SrI adhyathma rAmAyaNam that rAvaNa was
well aware of his pUrvvajanma vrithAtham so he was well determined to
increase the kOpAm of bhagavAn towards him so that an easy death was
awaited. So when sUrppaNakha advices rAvaNa to fetch sIthA pirATTi,
rAvAnA's contemplation go this way
" vyaktham mAnushan alla rAman ennathu nUnam
Raman is not a common human being it is very much clear
Bhaktha vathsalanAya bhagavAn pathmEkshaNan
mukthi dAnaika mUrtthi mukundan muthi priyan
praises to lord (self explanatory)
dhAthavu munnam prArthhicchOru kAraNaminnu
bhUthalE marthyanAy piRannipOL
the sarvveSwaran with the request of brahma took birth on earth as a human
and now
enne kolluvAnorumbeTTu vannAn enkilO
if he comes to kill me
chennu vaikuNTa rAjyam paripAlikkamallO
I can go back to vaikuntam and resume my duties
vidwEsha buddhyA rAmAn thane prApikkayuLLU
rama will be prApyam to me only through hatred and anger
bhakthi koNdennil prasAdikkayili lESan (from SrI adhyAthma rAmAyaNam)
if I show bhakthi, he wont be pleased on me
so he was cleaver enough to make an act which increase the fury of the
sarvva Sakthan towards rAvaNa. Similar feelings of rAvANa reflect when he
talk to mArIchan too. When mArichan advices rAvaNa that SrI rAman is
sarrvaSakthan himself and sIthA is periya pirATTiyAr herself, so leave all
nIchA chintha about them and take refuge in their lotus feet. rAvANan
replies him simply like this
"nErathrE paRanjathu nirMalan allO vahaban
You said the truth O nirmalan (marichan is nirmalan only because he told the
truth about rama )
SrI nArAyaNa swAmi paraman paramAthmA thAn
aravindOthbhavan thannoTu sathyam cheythu
reflects the same words as in above verse
marthyanAy piRannenne kollAn bhAvicchathu
sathyA sankalpanyAya bhagavAn thAnenkilO
if the sathya sankalpan decides to kill me as a human form
pinne avvaNNam illennu Akkuvan AL areTO
Who can prevent it? Oh friend !!!
there are similar thinkings of rAvaNa all over the yuddha kAnDam part of
adhyAthma rAmAyAnAm. It is also said that even before hanuman reaches lanka,
rAvaNA has a dream of hanumans lankA pravESam and the forth coming yuddham
and there after he was impatiently waiting for the bhagavad prApthi thru
rAmA virOdham.
