SrI:
Dear AasthikAs and Raama BhakthAs :
The date for the SamprOkshaNam is Jan 31 and there will be
Veda PaarAyaNams and Vaidhika KarmAs from Jan 27-31.
We are at 60% of the target level of $1,000 to help with number of
the Vaidhika KarmAs .
Please let me know if you wish to join in supporting the Once in
TWELVE year SamprOkshaNam for Jaanaki SamEtha Sri
Kodhanda Raaman , who is the hero of SaraNAgathy
Saasthram ( Sriamth RaamAyaNam) .
Abaya PradhAnam is the vow of the Lord with KodhaNdam in His hand .
Sri Raaman is Sarva Loka SaraNyan .He is saluted by Brahma Devan as
"Aksharam Brahma sathyam cha" ( Raamaa ! Thou art eternal and do not
undergo any changes ) . He is Sarva VilakshaNa Para Brahmam ( One with
a Vaibhavam that is quite different from and superior to all Gods) .He is
the top most among SaraNAgatha Rakshakans and the SaraNAgathy performed
by the DevAs ( Baala KaaNDam ) , LakshmaNan (AyOdhyA KaanDam) , KaakAsuran ,
Samudhra Rajan , VibhishaNan ( Yuddha KaaNDam) --- all these SaraNAgathys are
SamarTa KaaruNeeka Vishaya SaraNAgathy ( the SaraNAgathy performed at
the feet of an adhikAri with sakthi and KaruNai). His svabhAvam and PrabhAvam is
all about protecting those , who seek His protection .
HanumAn , the Parama Bhakthan of Sri Ramachandran sums up the unique
feautures of Lord Ramachandra this way :
dhvi: Saram nAbhisandhatthE dhvi: sTApayathy nAsrithAn
dhvir-dhadhAthy na chArTibhyO RaamO dvir-nAbhibhAshathE
(Meaning ) : My Lord Raamn never sets His arrow twice.He does not
engage twice in the establishment of those who sought His refuge.
He does not give twice to those who sought His help .He does not speak
twice about any subject .Since He completes every thing that needs to be
taken care of , there is no need for retrying or repetition .
One of the famous slOkam sumamrizes His heroism as Raghuveeran:
" Lord Raamachandra laid siege on the eve of PourNami ,
got released from the Naaga Paasam , killed DhUmrAksahn ,
Vajra dhamshtran , Akampanan, Prahasthan and broke the
crown of RaavaNan , used BrahmAsthram to destroy KUmbhakarNan,
AthikAyan , Kumbhan , MakarAkshan , Indhrajith and in three
days time killed RaavaNa and his army ". Such is the valour of
the Kodhanda Raaman at VaduvUr .
If You have not had the darsana soubhAgyam of this
KOdhaNdarAman with His dharma Pathni , Jaanaki ,
please visit this abhimAna sthalam , which is 25 miles
from ThanjAvUr .
I will wait to hear from you for another couple of days
incase You wish to join in this kaimkaryam. Please let me
know.Thanks .
NamO Sri RaamachandrAya ,
V.Sadagopan
