Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: An interesting point about Hanuman's passage to Lanka as SriRama's messenger. SriRama was not there personally to guide or help Hanuman to reach Lanka. However, it His divine nama that Hanuman kept reciting all the time that helped him do that. Our acharyas point to this to show that His nama will help His devotees even if He does not come directly there. Recall the Mumukshuppadi sutra here that says "avan dhUrasthananAnAlum ithu kitti ninRu uthavum" - here ithu is His thirunamam. Another example for His nama helping is Draupadi caling out His name at her time of distress in the Kaurava sabha - "draupadikku AbaththilE pudavai suranthathu thirunAmamiRE". adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
