Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Priya Bagavad Bandus As per our Isthihasas it is true that SriRama naver went as a messanger, and only Sri Krishna did walk as a messanger. But SriRama's messanger SriHanuman was successful in His mission, Inspite of SriKrishna going as a messanger His mission was not successful. Futhur thoughts on this : Hanuman during His mission had His thoughts focused on SriRama and since He had surrendered to SriRama it was successful. Whereas SriKrishna had nobody to focus His thoughts and no one to surrender to, hence mission failure. Onceagain it proves that if surrender to our Acharya and leave our burdens to Him, He will make our life successful. Azhvar EmperumaNar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam Adiyen Chitra Ramanuja Dasee Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: A devotee once challenged Bhattar saying "Swamin! You show great devotion to Sri Rama but not to Sri Krishna. However, Lord Krishna is greater in one respect than Lord Rama and even you cannot deny that". Bhattar asked him "What is that?" The devotee replied "Lord Krishna went as a messenger for the Pandavas to the Kauravas. Lord Rama never did such an act. Therefore, you have to accept that Krishna is the more accesible form of the Lord". Bhattar replied "You are saying this without reading Azhvar's pasuram on thiru-evvuL. Thirumangai Azhvar says, munnOr thUthu vAnaraththin vAyil mozhindhu, arakkan mannOr thannai vALiyinAl mALA munindhu, avanE pinnOr thUthu AdhimannarkkAgip peru nilaththAr innAr thuthanena ninRAn evvuL kidanthAnE That is, it is the same Rama who sent a message through Hanuman who later walked as a messenger Himself for the Pandavas. Therefore, you cannot say that Sri Rama did not go as a messenger. However, even if you make such a claim, it is not that Rama could not be a messenger. He was born as a king and therefore no one asked Him to be one. Krishna was born in the yadava clan and therefore it was easy for the Pandavas to ask him to be their messenger. Had someone asked Rama to be a messenger, He would have gladly become one". Azhvar Emberumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Sharanam [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
