SrimathE GopAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha

 

Dear Smt.MythrEyi Srivaths(Smt.Srivatsan),

As with learning Grantham, mere knowing the story in brief, will not let

you appreciate the reality, to foster belief or admire the greatness(MahAtmas)

of every character portrayed in Srimad Raamayanam. Even though all of us see

the suffering of Thayaar in Srimad Raamayanam, Sri.Raama suffered more to uphold

righteousness and truth(Sirasanjali Mathaaya......Ramam Sri Satya Paraakramam).

Sri.Raama was Satya Swaroopam, and he delivered himself in perfect harmony to

the Pramaanas(Shastras), and served as an "OUTSTANDING" Example for humanity,

without attaching emotions when delivering justice. You have to note that

Sri.Valmiki was able to witness Sri.Raama's life(including Sri.Raama's private

conversations with his consort), and hence knowing the Moola Grantham, and

Vyakyaanam would let you transcend in time and emotions, to come to a correct

conclusion. There are so many things AdiyEn learnt from Sri.PVP's commentary,

through Sri.Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy's TeleUpa!

nyaasam, which are never visible in knowing just the jist from a Paati

Kathai(Grandmother's story).

 

A few episodes will bring us in tears,

1.Sri Raama fulfilling the vows of King Dasarathaa and going to forest(NO FAULT

OF HIS).

2.Sri Raama showering love on every acquaintance/living creature from Ayodhya to

Sri Lanka(Maharishis,Guha,Sugreeva, Hanumaan,Sabhari,Jataayu,Vibeeshana)

3.Sundarakaandam

4.Saranaagathi of Vibheeshana

5.incidents just before the Pattabhishekam of the Lord......I can mention a lot

more, just on hearing some of these from Upanyaasam, and I can imagine how

wonderful if AdiyEn had been blessed to study the Moola Grantham and relish

Poorvacharyas Vyakyaanam on this Maha Kavyam.

 

Ofcourse having said all this, AdiyEn always have a soft corner for Thayaar,

even though she is part and parcel of the Lord, for her Divya Kalyaana Gunaas

which are more forgiving of our greatest sins as our dear mother would.

 

Narayana! Narayana!

 

AdiyEn Sri Raamanuja Daasan,

 

Sudarsana Dasosmi

fault in avatarams ?

 

namaskarams to all,

in first mail in the KURAI ONDRUM ILLAI series the author said the

following lines :

" Every avataram has some fault, and this is the fault in

KrisnAvataram, where He did not save her immediately. But Draupadi

was saved, she received the protection she needed. How is this

possible, if Krishna did not save her? He says that He didn't save

her, but His NAmam did. "

but i believe Sriman Narayana came into this world in different

avataras not only to restore peace and prosperity but also to set an

example of how divine and pure every person's life should be.

i have 2 questions in this regard. will anyone help me to clear my

doubts.

1.im not able to accept the fact that Krishna did not save his true

bhaktai draupadi or that he did not save her immediately.

why god did not want to save her and why did he keep silent when she

was being dishonoured in front of all .

2. also i cannot digest the fact that Rama, the egapatni

viradhan,one who loved his wife immensely sends her off to the forest

WHILE SHE IS PREGNANT even without letting her know that she will be

away from him for the rest of her life( this is story that i've

heard - so kindly forgive me if iam wrong).

being a woman myself, i cannot digest the fact of a woman being

marooned by her soul mate when she is pregnant( the time when a woman

needs emotional and physical support) whatever the reasons may be.

when i asked this question about Rama to several people most of them

say that Rama came into this world as a human and he had to suffer

just like any human. well if so, why should he set a bad example to

his bhaktas ? just because a washerman spoke ill of his Sita, Rama

cannot send her away . didnt he promise in front of Agni devata that

he will ever protect her and never leave her alone under any

circumstance( isnt that the true meaning of marriage ?).

can Lord himself fail from his promise ?

these questions have been troubling me for a long time . can anyone

please clear them for me and help me restore my faith in all acts of

god ?

 

regards,

Mythreyi Srivaths
