Seethamma maa amma sri ramudu maa thanri

There was a huge crowd assembled outside the palace. Next day is the "pattabhishekam" of Sri Rama. King Dasaratha had summoned Sri Rama that night. The crowd having known this information thought father had called the son to give some important lessons on "Raja Dharma". They wanted to see rama before and after that important class. Rama was coming on his chariot with his face glowing like sun. Crowd hailed him. He directly went to his father and presented his respects. The purpose of the summon was to inform rama that he was stripped off from the previages of heir apparent, he was sent on "Vanavasm" for 14 years and his brother Bharatha was to be crowned. The Rama came out of the palace. The crowd was hailing. They did not find any change in the body language of Rama and his face was beaming as ever. The poet Kambar compares his face to "andru alarndha malar" (the flower that just blossomed). Rama is embodiment of the dharma. His detachment for everything but dharma makes me celebrate his birthday "Rama Navami". "Rama neeku samanam yavaru?" (Rama who is equivalent to you).

  • nice one muthukumar...but, tell me if rama was detached of anything except Dharma, why did he go mad and went behind searching Seetha ;- ) ?

  • I think searching for seetha is his dharma. ofcourse we can argue a lot based on ramayana..it is when one realises rama as supreme god and all the talks ceases..adhuku munnadi varai questions ezhum..ennaium serthu than
