Surrendering to Lord Rama

“Angan nedhumadhil pudaisoozh Ayodhi“ — Sri Kulasekhara Azhwar says that the name of the city of Paramapadha (the heavenly abode) is called Ayodhi. The Lord had descended on the city bearing the same name. He had manifested in the Sun race as Sri Rama with the divine lustre, like the rays of the Sun God.

Smt. Padma Ranganathan said in a discourse that He removes the ignorance of people who surrender at His feet (Jeyathyasritha Santhrasa: Dwanthavidwam Sanothaya:). The first sloka of Sri Raghuveera Gadhyam narrates His qualities.

Swamy Vedantha Desika in his Tamil work “Adhikara Sangraham” says how much ever we enjoy His divine grace, we will not be fully satisfied as His mercy abounds in the form of Sri Rangam temple (Araadha Arul Amudham Podindha Koil).
