Dear Sri Padmanabhan,

Thank you for the posting.  I have been looking for evidences that support the 'Sabari Virundhu' for a long time since this 'feast' is not mentioned either in Valmiki Ramayana or in Kamba Ramayana.  I have heard that there is a kriti of saint Thyagaraja Swamigal that mentions the story of Sabari offering the fruits tasted by her to Sri Rama, but I am not aware of the exact song or lines.  I will be obliged if someone could enlighten me on this.  

But your view is very well supported by the feast that Rama accepted from Guhan.

Regards,

Sincerely,
Hari Krishnan

  Dear Sri Pattangi,
   It is extremely true that not only Aazhwars and Poorvacharyas didnot reckon varna and Jaati but God also did not consider it as a factor. Lord Krishna s Vidhurar Virundhu and Sri Rama s Sabari virundhu are indeed outstanding instances. 

  Thank you
  Padmanabhan
