kaRpaar Ramapiraanai allaal maRRum kaRparO- why would anyone learn anything but Rama?- Rama Navami special

[Guest guest]

Sri:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

I am reminded of a great Tamil verse of Kambhan on Sri

Rama naamam- the

Divine Name that can fetch us anything and everything.

I place that verse humbly for the enjoyment of

Bhagawathas, Rama bhakthas, on this Janamdhin of Sri

Rama. Rama-the Red Lotus eyed Lord of the Greatest

Beauty, the embodiment of Heroism and Generosity, the

most merciful, Most Compassionate Lord, who said " I am

only on ordinary human being- son of Dasaratha " .

(AtmAnaam maanusham manyE Raamam dhasarathaatmajam. "

What a modesty! He lived the role of a human suffering

all the while! [Manisarkaay padaadhana pattu]

 

Our manatthukku iniyaan- the most endearing Lord- SrI

Rama appeared on this day. asmadhAchAryan His Holiness

Srimad ParavaakOttai Andavan has written a richly

divine book in Tamil describing in sweet, simple and

divine Tamil easily understandable even by us-

narrating the sweetest Ramayana (upto Seetha Kalyanam)

in his first release. The second book (upto Padhuka

PattAbhishEkam) was also released. The articles are

titled under Ramapiraanai kaRpOm- Let us learn [from]

Rama… The series of articles are still being continued

in PeraruLALan magazine...

 

Sri NammAzhwAr says: (in Thiruvaymozhi 7.5)

 

kaRpaar raamapiraanai allaal maRRum kaRparO? why would

anyone learn anything but Rama? - One needs to learn

only about Rama...

 

He is the One who has no imperfections; who has only

most auspicious kalyANa guNAs; who has indescribable,

most wonderful valour strengths; who is jnAna swarUpi;

who is the personification of Anandham; who is the

Lord of all worlds; who establishes dharmA; who is the

form of DharmA Himself (dharmO vigrahavaan); who takes

avtaars only to protect the sAdhus and destroy their

enemies (evil doers); who has long hands that touch

the round strong knees; strongest mountain like

shoulders; conch shell like beautiful neck; chubby,

round cheeks; broad divine chest and He is the epitome

of Handsomeness. He is the only refuge for everyone.

saranAgatha rakshakan; He never ever swerves from his

word (rAmOr dvirnAbhibAshathE..)- Rama never utters a

word

twice..

 

Kaman says:

 

venRisEr ilankaiyaanai venRu maalveeran Odha

ninRa, Ramayanatthin nigazhndhidu kadhaikaL thammil

onRinai paditthOr dhaamum, uraitthidak kEttOr dhaamum

nanRu idhu enROr dhaamum narakamadhu yeydhidaarE..

 

[Meaning: The One who conquered the king of

LankA-about Him- This Ramayana- and those who read

even of the stories (of Ramayana) and those who listen

to such reading of such story (of Ramayana) and those

who say, " wow! such a GREAT STORY - SUCH a Divine epic

is Ramayana- - all those who do that will (be blessed

with) never ever reach narakam (hell). [Heaven is also

a golden cage hell]

 

Rama shabhdham can do wonders to the devotee who

utters the Divine Name of Rama:

 

nanmaiyum selvamum naaLum nalgumE/

thiNmaiyum paavamum sidhaindhu thEyumE/

jenmamum maraNamum inRi theerumE/

immaiyE " Raamaa " enRa iraNdu yezhutthinaal.

 

When one simply says or utters " Raamaa " , one is

blessed to receive all good qualities, and most

auspicious, most prosperous life. All bad karmas and

karmic diseases will all vanish. one is thoroughly

freed of all future cycles of births and deaths. One

will continue to enjoy in the glory of the Divine name

Rama and is in Rama bhakthi saamraajyam.

 

Jaya Jaya Mahaa veerA! Raamaa! Sri RamachandrA!
