Dear Sri MadhavakkaNNan :

 

Your posting on the uniqueness of Guhan is very

beautiful. Your description of KambhanAttzhwAr's

anubhavam is truly delightful to read. Your links to

other sources like VaalmIki RaamAyaNam enriched

the narration . Thanks very much.

 

Your posting reminded me of the monograph of

Your reverd AchAryan on Srimath RaamAyaNam .

I thought awareness of this splendid monograph would be

of wide interest to BhakthAs. Hence I am writing a few

introductory words on this important monograph .

Dear BhakthAs: As many of You know , Sri MaadhavakkaNNan

is one of the dear disciples of HH PaRavAkkOttai ANDavan

of PoundarIkapuram Aasramam.

 

HH PaRavAkkOttai ANDavan's scholarship in

Srimath RaamAyaNam of VaalmIki , Kampan

and other RaamAyaNams is legendary.

 

adiyEn would like to invite your attention to

a master piece of a monograph by the name ,

" Raamanai KaRpOm " by HH PaRavAkkOttai ANDavan.

There are 709 pages of delightful presentation

of Srimath RaamAyaNam upto Sri SithA KalyANam .

 

The Baala KaaNDam and AyOdhyA Kaandam events are

covered with the authority befitting a great

AchAryan Known for His anushtAnam , Jn~Anam

Scholarship and VairAgyam .The many quotations are

from VaalmIki RaamAyaNam , Kampa RaamAyanam,

AdhyAthma raamAyaNam , Aanandha RaamAyaNam , TuLasi Daas

RaamAyaNam , AzhwAr aruLiccheyalkaLs , ThirukkuraL ,

Bhagavath Geethai ,VishNu purAnam , Paadhma PurANam,

MahA BhAratham , AchArya Sri Sookthis (Swamy Desikan ,

Sri ParAsara Bhattar ) , BhOja Champu, KaaLidAsan's

Raghu Vamsam, Dharma Saasthrams et al. This book is

an extraordinary compilation of the story of RaamAyaNam

by a great Rasikar . The sacredness of this monograph is

that it was written after HH PaRavAkkOttai ANDavan

entered SanyAsAsramam. This was written at the request of

another great VaishNavite AchAryA ,Vaikunta Vaasi

Sri Thirupputkkuzhi Narasimha TatArya Swamy ,

the editor of the Monthly , PeraruLALan .

 

This monograph was released last year as a part of

the special releases for the celebration of the SathAbhishEkam

of HH PaRavAkkOttai Srimath ANDavan by His dear sishyAs.

Srimath RaamAyaNam's reputation as a SaraNAgathy Saasthram

is well established. Swamy Desikan has blessed us with

" Abhaya PradhAna Saasthram " to illustrate this aspect of

Srimath RaamAyaNam . HH Srimath ANDavan has brought out

beautifully this SaraNAgathy Saasthram and has written about

it in a way in which PaNDithAs and PamarAs can enjoy reading

this monograph. The monograph is priced at 200 Indian Rupees.

 

In addition to the divine content , there are beautiful

photo Images of Lord Ramachandran and His PirAtti ,

Lakshmana Swamy and AnjanEyar from the famous temples

of India ( Thillai ViLAgam, ThiruvahIndhrapuram,

ThErazhunthUr , AyOddhi, Puthu AgrahAram and

Punnai NallUr ).
