Any explanation on this topic is awaited eagerly. > Dear Sri Sudharshan , While i await a professional and clear explanation of your questions from our learned members, i cannot restrain myself from explaining your above query. No where in Sri Valmiki Ramayanam, there is a reference of Sri Rama Praying to Lord Siva. As you would agree, Sri Rama (As per valmiki ramayanam) Had to rush to Ayodya to fulfill promise made to his brother Sri Bharathlwan. the story of Sri Rama doing 'linga pratishtai' at rameshwaram are all fancied story according to selected saivatite works(??) and no where found in authentic Sri valmiki Ramayanam or Sri Kamba Ramayanam or Srimad bhagavatham etc.. some 10 years back i happened to read a book written by sri Puttur swami of srirangam titled "Linga Prathistai" which clearly explaines even to an agnostic /non beleiver how the very story of Rama Praying to lingam to do away with Bramhahatti dosham of killing ravanan, is false and history changed during later years. views on the above are welcome from our most dear members.
