RAAMAAYANA MAHATHMYAM SRI RAAMAAYANAM ADHI KAAVYAM RISHINAA VALMIKINAA NIRMITHAM VEDHAANTHA VISAARADHAI : ANUDINAM STHUTHYAM SURAIRARCHITHAM I SROTHRUNAAM AGHA NAASANAM SURA TARO'S TULYAM THU MUKTHI PRADHAM YEH SRUNVANTHI PATANTHY RAAMACHARITHAM TEH YAANTHI VISHNO: PADHAM II --- Sri Rama KarNAmrutham 1. 106 ( Composer : Kanchi Kamakoti Peeta Matathipathi ) (MEANING) : The ancient epic RamAyaNam was constructed by Sage Valmiki . This sacred epic is stufdied and saluted by the scholars well-versed in VedanthA . This epic is worshipped as sacred by the DevAs . It destroys the sins of listeners and is equivalent to the divine Kalpaka tree . The sacred text of Sage Valmiki confers Mukthi to those , who recite it and listen to it . Those who perform PaarAyaNam of Srimadh RaamAyaNam attain the privelege of reaching Parama Padham and are blessed to have the boon of Nitya Kaimkaryam to Paramapadha Naathan. Today is Karthikai SravaNam day . It is a blessed day , when SravaNa deepam is taken around the prakArams of Sri Oppiliappan .Let that light illumine our living moments and guide us . I am some what saddened by the recent note of Sri Sudarshan, where he expressed his wish not to send additional postingsas a result of some one's negative reaction to his postings on Jatayu Moksham . I for one want to go on record to state that how very much I enjoyed the refreshing postings of Sriman Sudarshan , They contained a wealth of information and were stimulating . His kind of inquiries were a clear indication of his careful thinking and reverence to our sampradhayAm both at the micro and macro level . I will miss very much his postings and hope he does not get turned off by some strong criticism(s) of a fellow member or members. We are a group of people with different life experiences and what unites us is the reverence for the rejuvnating and ever-alive tenets of Bhagavath RamAnuja Siddhaantham and other Vedanthic approaches . Having served the United nations and other power centers like IBM , where rubbing shoulders with a group of people with a strong set of views, credo and beliefs on what is right and what is wrong , I have come to the conclusion that there is a need for more tolerance to different points of view . I am convinced that we will be richer for the dialog as opposed to "silencing" some one because we do not agree with their views. I sincerely believe that there are many things that unite us than divide us as inheritors of a rich tradition . Let us keep the dialog open and learn as much as we can from each other . I am sending this note because I feel somewhat responsibe for the posting on Jatayu Moksham that has led to the events associated with Sri Sudarshan's decision . I would like to request him to continue with his postings . I am sure that we can have a healthy debate and still not offend anyone consciously . V.Sadagopan
