Guest guest Posted January 19, 2000 Report Share Posted January 19, 2000 Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dear All, During last year in one of the posts we discussed the matter on Rama's worship of Linga and navagrahams in Rameshwaram and other places. As correctly said by Sri.Anbil Ramaswamy, there is no mention of such worship in Srimad Ramayanam . In fact Rama was very anxious to leave Lanka to fulfill his promise made to Bharata that he would return by 14 years. He declines the offer made by a parama Bhagavata vibeeshana to stay for some more time in Lanka. How he could have found time to install a Lingam and worship. Sri Puttur Krishnamachar had written a book tittled "Linga Prathistai" ":(Installation of Linga) where he clearly brings out truthfulness of all these claims made by other religions based on some puranas which are not sattvic. After Valmiki's Ramayanam and Kamban, there were many versions of ramayanam like Ananda ramayanam , Ram charita manas etc where different incidents are quoted. Like we differentiate between sattva puranams and other puranams for interpretation and quote, we should only rely on Sri valmiki Ramayanam on any incidents. thanks for Sri.Anbil Swamy to bring out clarification Dasan K.M.Narayanan ------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
