Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thirukkolur Ammal Varththaigal (Thirukkolur Penpillai Rahasyam) 53. kAttukkup pOnEnO perumALaip pOlE After Dasaratha decided to coronate Rama as the king, he informed that to everyone in his kingdom and with the consultations of his guru's heset a date for the same. The night before the coronation ceremony, Rama performed a vratam along with Sita and prayed to Lord Ranganatha. However, due to the ill advise of Mantara, Kaikeyi had a change of heart and demanded two boons that she had from Dasaratha. With those boons, she asked that her son Bharatha be crowned the king instead of Rama and that Rama should go to the forest for 14 years.Hearing that Dasaratha was extremely sad and fainted. When Rama came to the palace of Kaikeyi, she told Him about the two boons and that it was a royal decree that He go to the forest.Rama immediately accepted it and with great pleasure prepared to go to the forest.Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I show steadiness in my heart andmind like Rama showed in following His father's word and give up thekingdom and go to the forest?"
