SrI:

Dear SrI Raama BhakthAs: 

We enjoyed in the previous post the three brilliant
Sanskrit slOkams and two Tamil Paasurams at the beginning of 
Swamy  Desikan's SrI Sookthi Abhaya pradhAna Saaram.Let us
now highlight the content of the first chapter of
Abhaya PradhAna Saaram. 

He is "AnjEl yenRu aruL Koduppaan "  for those who sought His 
refuge  once and identified themselves as His Daasans 
(OrukkAlE SaraNAha adhaihiravarkkum , Unakkadimai AhinrEn 
yenravarkkum ).He will assure them total protection from
all fears . This is the essence of Abhaya pradhAnam offered
by our SaraNAgatha RakhsaNa Vrathy , Lord Raamachandran.

First Chapter: Prabhnadha AvathAram
************************************
SrIman NaarAyaNan took the avathAram as the son
of King DasaraTA during one of the ThrEthA Yugams.
At that time , Brahma appeared before Sage Vaalmiki
and blessed him with "dhivya Saarasvatham"
(Divine speech) to compose the ithihAsam of 
SrImad  RaamAyaNam to celebrate the glories of
the Vibhava avathAram of the Lord centered 
around SaraNAgathy Tatthvam .Brahma blessed Sage Valmiki 
to have dhivya chakshus ( divine vision ) to experience
all that happened during RaamA's life so that his
description of the charitham would be free from any mistakes 
(na tE vaak anruthA kaavyE kaachith athra bhavishyathi).
Valmiki revealed the avathAra rahsyam of the Lord
as SrI Raamachandran in SrImad  RaamaayaNam as a result
of that divine anugraham of Saravathy Vallabhan (Brahma Devan).

After composing the 24,000 slOkams of this sacred epic,
sage  Vaalmiki was looking for a qualified adhikAri
to teach this MahA PuNya charitham , which is 
equal to Vedam ( PuNyam Vedaisccha sammitham).

The beautiful and learned sons of Lord Raamachandran
and SitA PirAtti , Lava KusaaLs , appeared at this time 
before Sage VaalmIki and prostrated (Paadha UpasangrahaNam)
at his sacred feet.

Sage  Vaalmiki recognized that KusaLavaaLs are
the fittest adhikAris( Uchitha Utthama adhikAris) for
propagating SrImad RaamAyaNam , which expounds 
the deep and esoteric meanings of VedAs. He assessed
the young boys of the dhivya dampathis to be MedhAvis
( filled with discriminating intellect) and proficinet 
in the mastery of the VedAs and established in the VedAs
(practioners of Vedic anushtAnams).

Sage VaalmIki was immensely delighted to instruc them 
and spread the messages of SrImad  RaamAyaNam , which came 
in to existence to explain the deep meanings of VedAs.

sa thu mEdhAvinou dhrushtvA VedEshu parinishtithou
VedOpabrahmNArTAya thAvagrAhayatha Prabhu:

--SrImad  RaamAyaNam : Baala KaaNDam: 4.6  

Thus Srimad RaamAyaNam took its avathAram as
a Prabhandham through Sage Vaalmiki and propagated
throughout the world through the kaimkaryam of
his sishyAs , Lava and KuchA.

In the next posting of this SrI Raama Navami series,
we will study the second chapter Of Abhaya PradhAna 
Saaram (Para Tathtva NirNayam) dealing with the establishment of 
the Parathvam (the Supermacy ) of the Lord who incarnated 
as Raamachandran at AyOdhi .
