Dearest Srivaishnavas,

AzhwAr’s enjoyment of his anger on Samudra rAjan!

The white wavy – dark ocean had become reddish that

day due to the fiery arrow sent effortlessly by Lord

SrI Ramachandra- the most valorous One; and He

presents Himself so graciously at Sri Rangam alone-

which is surrounded by the river where people from all

directions paying their praNAmams and taking their

sacred bath in the holy river Cauveri- where bee

humming flower gardens have become the fence.

 

The deep ocean is generally dark. And when the wave

raises itself it is whitish. And when sun rays hit

them, it is more whitish. “The ocean that did not

listen to me”- and the colors that it has namely, the

white and black- have been changed due to the anger of

Lord Rama and the fiery arrow he had aimed.

 

An aspect of BhagavAn's incarnations is that He

faithfully acts the role [truly] that He assumes in

His

incarnation, as if to illustrate to us all how to live

the life when we are born through our karma in that

form. SrImad rAmAyaNam is an excellent example of how

He lived the life of a true son, a true king, a true

brother, a true husband, etc. One example of this is

when Lord rAma accepts vibhIshNa's suggestion that He

should surrender and pray to samudra rAjan to help Him

cross the Ocean with the army of monkeys etc. He

accepts this suggestion (even though He did not have

to go through this), and lies down praying to samudra

rAjan with the intent of not getting up till he

complies. He went through this ordeal - called

having been born a human, He wanted to play the role

 

jaya jaya mahAvIra!mahA dhIra dhaureya!

 

He is the Only One- unparalleled Lord - Sri

RanganAthan..
