Ramayana - Another Great Epic

The interesting thing here is that Rama falls at the feet of Kaikeyi first.Only then , he falls at the feet of his mother Kaushalya.He loved Kaikeyi equally as his own mother.But Kaikeyi was also the favourite of Dasaratha.
Actually, when Kooni goes and tells that Rama is going to be crowned king, Kaikeyi is very happy and gives her a pearl necklace.Kooni gets angry and says that this event will bring her lot of danger.Kaikeyi asks kooni,i'm the mother who bore Rama.What harm will come to Rama's mother? Even though she did not give birth to Rama,she loves him like her own son.Finally, Gooni uses her insecurity and clouds her mind.

Harikrishnan Sir has dealt with this extensively in www.harimozhi.com and also in his chennaionline series.

Dear Viggop,

From Sundara Gandam, you have gone backwards !!

I thought you are going to maintain the sequence... Hanuman meeting Ravana and what happens afterwards...

Request , pls follow a sequence... You are doing a great job.....

Through you , we are all having a go at Kamba ramayanam...

Continue this good work...

Its ok but still I will request you to follow a sequence...

I wish you pls continue with where you left ... Hanuman meeting Ravana...

So that the sequence is followed easily... whatever queries or questions that come up can be easily responded...

Dear all

I have question about Rameshwaram, Rama was Shiva baktha, he before crossing the Indian ocean to lanka will perform a ritual on the sea side by making a Shiva Lingam on the sea shore and conduct a pooja with Laksman and Hanuman. Maheshwar will appear infront of Rama and grant him a boon, does any one remember what this varam was?

and so this Place became Rameshwaram, i heard that Shiva lingam made out of sand is still there, any clarification on this?

Raghu,

Pl browse the website and you will get the answer for your query…

There is also another version saying that... Rama , after the war, came here and did pooja to Shiva to get rid of the Brahmahathi Dosham which he got because of killing Ravana..
I am not sure on the second version..

Another interesting feature is, while people from South India travel to Varanasi to have a dharshan of Lord Kasi Vishvanathar and to have a dip at Ganga...

People from North India always make it a point to visit Rameshwaram amongst all the temples of the South to have a dip in various wells... to purify themselves...

Thanks for the Wonder full link abt Iswar, I hear that if you stand on the Rameshwaram Gopuram, that you can see Maanar or Jaffna, is this true?

Dear Raghu,

Actually the distance is several nautical miles... I am not sure about this...as the distance should be roughly 30 kms...

The gap which is very very close between India and SriLanka is from Kodikarai.. I think

I thought that a place called Nagabooshanam was nearest to Lanka.
DanushKodi was wiped out by sea recently."danush" means bow and so the name is asscociated with Lord Rama
