Dear bhakthas, I recall having listened to various discourses on Ramayanam, however, both Bala Krishna Shastrigal and Anna Swamy Bagavathar have extensively explored the Vibeeshana Sharanagathi episode. Can someone tell me as to what is the salient aspects and rationale of Vibeeshana Sharanagathi? What intrigues me further is that Vibeeshana, when he approaches the Rama, the lord accpets him with open arms, but, when Sita returns after the Ashoka-vana period, Rama does not accept her in the same way. Why this discrimination? Regards, Ranga PS: Also, kshama is one of our greatest virtues, so, I beseech the parties in argument over the Garuda episode to reconcile. PS: Also, I had recently sent two stories on our visit to Dwaraka and Somnath, they seem to have been lost. I'll try and send them again.
