COULD SRI AYAPPAN BE A REINCARNATE OF SRI RAMACHANDRA PRABHU? Swamiji speaks thus: " The Treta Yuga saw the advent of Sri Ramachandra Prabhu as the son of King Dasaratha of Kosala. The love King Dasaratha had for Sri Ramachandra Prabhu was extraordinary . The love was founded upon the untarnished bhakti , not just for the son, but for the incarnate of the Para Brahman Himself. The siblings- Barathan, Satrughnan and Lakshmanan joyously grew up amidst Sri Raman as the beacon showering its effulgence upon them always. Without Sri Raman their history is void and insignificant. However, the childhood pranks and carefreeness was shortlived. Sage Visvamitra had a divine plan for Sri Rama - that is to unfold the true purpose of His birth upon this earth. Under the watchful eyes of Sri Raman and Lakshmanan the great sacrifice of sage Viswamitra at Siddhasrama was a success. Ahalya was purified of her sins by the dust of Sri Rama's feet. Next the breaking of Siva's bow followed and the the marriage with Sita Devi ensued. All these were joyous moments for King Dasaratha in particular. However, just like in every one's lives , fate took a different turn. Events became tumultous for King Dasaratha. The next phase i.e the stage of separation of Sri Rama from the king strarted with the Vanavasa (living in the forest).This was an unbearable for King Dasaratha. Uttering Sri Raman's name , the King soon passed away yearning for Sri Ramachandra Prabhu. Sri Rama pledged upon hearing of His earthly father's death that He would be born again as King Dasaratha's son in a different era to fill up for the lost years with His father. Thus, Manikandan was discovered by the King of Pantalam, Rajasekaran in this Kali Yuga. Manikandan is the reincarnate of Sri Ramachandra Prabhu and the King of Pantalam the reincarnate of King Dasaratha. The exemplary father-son affinity and rapport run parallel in both the yugas- during the Treta yuga as well as in the Kali yuga. Sita actually is Vethavalli who was once fancied by the demon Ravana. It was Vethavalli's curse that Ravana shall be demolished by her in another era. Thus, the downfall of Ravana by Sri Ramacahndra Prabhu, the consort of Sita Devi. Mahaletchumi ought not to be confused with Sita Devi. She is Padmavathi and not Sita Devi. Similarly, Madura Meenakshi was the daughter of King Pandyan." |
