Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha

Priya Bagavad Bandus

As per our Isthihasas it is true that SriRama naver went as a messanger, and 
only Sri Krishna did walk as a messanger.

But SriRama's messanger SriHanuman was successful in His mission, 

Inspite of SriKrishna going as a messanger His mission was not successful.

Futhur thoughts on this :

Hanuman during His mission had His thoughts focused on SriRama and since He had 
surrendered to SriRama it was successful.

Whereas SriKrishna had nobody to focus His thoughts and no one to surrender to, 
hence mission failure.

Onceagain it proves that if surrender to our Acharya and leave our burdens to 
Him, He will make our life successful.

Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

A devotee once challenged Bhattar saying "Swamin! You 
show great devotion to Sri Rama but not to Sri Krishna.
However, Lord Krishna is greater in one respect than 
Lord Rama and even you cannot deny that".

Bhattar asked him "What is that?"

The devotee replied "Lord Krishna went as a messenger
for the Pandavas to the Kauravas. Lord Rama never did
such an act. Therefore, you have to accept that 
Krishna is the more accesible form of the Lord".

Bhattar replied "You are saying this without reading
Azhvar's pasuram on thiru-evvuL. 

Thirumangai Azhvar says,

munnOr thUthu vAnaraththin vAyil mozhindhu, arakkan
mannOr thannai vALiyinAl mALA munindhu, avanE
pinnOr thUthu AdhimannarkkAgip peru nilaththAr
innAr thuthanena ninRAn evvuL kidanthAnE

That is, it is the same Rama who sent a message through 
Hanuman who later walked as a messenger Himself for the
Pandavas. Therefore, you cannot say that Sri Rama did 
not go as a messenger.

However, even if you make such a claim, it is not that 
Rama could not be a messenger. He was born as a king and
therefore no one asked Him to be one. Krishna was born 
in the yadava clan and therefore it was easy for the 
Pandavas to ask him to be their messenger. Had someone
asked Rama to be a messenger, He would have gladly 
become one".
