Dear Prapatti Group Members:

 

Sadagopan made a very interesting comparison of Raghuveera Gadhyam and Valmeeki

Ramayanam. Eventhough I recite Raghuveera Gadhyam, I failed to notice that

there are no references to Aranya KAndam. Sadagopan - will you please check

whether Virada-vadham, Kara Dhooshna vadam etc., whether or not they are part

of Aranya kAndam. For eg.: How about the gadhyam "Dandaka thapovana jangama

parijaata".

 

Once Navalpakkam Devanathacharya swamigal mentioned that in our sampradaayam

the following sloka (after reciting the usual dhyana sloka) is recited before

the parayanam:

 

Pithamahasyapi Pithamahya

Prachedasa Desa Phala Pradaya

Shri Bhashyakarottama Desikaya

Sri Shilapoornaya Namo Namasthat

 

Shri Shailapoorna from whom Ramanujacharya obtained Ramayana was the Acharya of

Anatha Azhwar. This sloka refers to the fact that Shri Ramanujacharya obtained

the secrets of Ramayana from Shri Shailapoorna and thus it establishes the

lineage for Vaishnavas with regard to Ramayana.

 

I would also like to thank Mani for the interesting interpretation of the last

sloka of vairagya panchakam.
