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.
