Vali Vadham an epilogue

From the Bhakti List Archives

Hari Krishnan • December 26, 2002 


With the four instalments sent today, I am completing the discussions on the subject.  Though I cannot say that all the aspects have been completely discussed, I have tried my best to cover almost all the points that have been advanced both for and against this never-ending subject.

If at all it was interesting, it was due to the fact that we have been speaking about the grandest of characters that walked the earth - Sri Rama.  

Apart from the question of whether it was interesting or not, this was an attempt to analyse the disputed subject threadbare, dispassionately.  I hope I have, with the Grace of Sri Rama, done justice to the subject.  

I thank all of you for the patient hearing.  A few personal mails touched my heart and moved me deeply.  I am rewarded.  Kindly bear with me for faults of language, faults of expression, lack of understanding, and my ignorance.  As Kamban would put it,

kArALum mEnik karuNAkara mUrththikku
ArAthanai en aRiyAmai onRumE.

What do I have to offer to my gracious Lord, the One of cloud-like hue!  If at all something is to be offered to someone, that someone should not be in possession of that something and the giver of it should have it in abundance.  What does the Lord not have, that I alone have!  Yes.  There is one thing.  Ignorance.  I have super-abundance of it.  I offer it to my Lord, for He does not have it.  

I would be happy to receive the opinion of scholars of this assemblage, postive as well as negative.

Sincerely,
Hari Krishnan
