Jaya Jaya Sri Sudarsana

Hits: 606

We all know svAmi vEdAnta dEsikan composed srI sudarsanAstakam to relieve the sufferings from a dreadful disease which pervaded in thiruputkuzhi. 

There is another story which enumerates the background for svAmi dEsikan to compose this astakam. He intended to write paramartha bhangam, setting strong arguments against vEda bAhiyargaL and vEda kudirshtigaL. He wanted to take the grace of srI sudarsana AzhvAr, before start of his work.

The 3 Phrases

Hits: 784

In Tamil, we commonly say these three phrases -

oru peNNin kashtam innoru peNNukku thAn theriyum (ஒரு பெண்ணின் கஷ்டம் இன்னொரு பெண்ணுக்கு தான் தெரியும்)

pombaLa vishayam (பொம்பள விஷயம்)

peNN pAvam pollAthu (பெண் பாவம் பொல்லாது)

srI rAmajayam and srI krishNArpaNam

Hits: 604

It is customary in our sampradAyam to say at the begining "srI rAmajayam". While there are numerous avathArams, this phrase doesn't get commonly associated with other avathArams, ie. we don't say srI nrisimhAjayam or srI krishnajayam.

So why is this unique for the rAmAvathAram?
