dear DevoteesPlease accept my humble obaisencesAll glories to Srila PrabhupadaShyamasundara Prabhu has written an article:He states that Sri Lanka was not the place of Ravana but much further north this is really crazy,
then Lord Ramachandra made a mistakebuilding the Ramasetu ,(Bridge of Lord Rama at Ramesvaram)Srila Prabhupada has also confirmed Lanka as this place in the CC and the authenticity of Ramesvaram in CC.There is a most interesting website about the many holy places related with Ramayana in Sri Lankawith a most inspiring yourtube video about the places of Lord Ramachandras lilas in Sri Lanka.Of course the Rama Setu very clearly goesfrom Ramesvaram to Sri Lanka and is proven by NASA pictures, the remains of that bridge is clearly there.We have personallywitnessed some stones from the Rama setu that floats on water in Ramesvaram, in 1985 while being on Padayatra there.I hope this helps clear up any misconception about this.Happy Ramanavami, and sorry Shyamasundara Prabhu you are wrong on this one ....your servantPayonidhi dasPS Another misconception some have is that Lord Ramachandra did not appear in this Treta yuga this is also a misconceptionas Narasimha Purana has confirmed that Lord Narasimha appeared in Satya, and Lord Ramachandra in Treta yuga.
Prabhu you are a very nice devotee and your article about Kulasekhara is very nice, but on the issue about Ahovalam and Sri Lanka we certainly do not agree as it is against sastra , I did not mean to attack you personally, but it is frustrating there is so much ignorance about these places among many devotees in ISKCON ,especailly Srila PRabhupadas disciples should know such basic facts, this kind of presentation also hampers our relationship to Sri Vaisnavas.There was no attention to offend you or put you downbut when speaking or writing about siddhanta we have to be most careful, otherwise we misrepresent the disciplic succession from Lord Caitanya

Sri Lanka is certainly the place where Lord Ramachandra killed Ravana but one of Srila Prabhupadas disciples does not agree so I wrote an article in the past.

Also Jayadvaita Swami and some other devotees from the BTG challenged Srila PRabhupada about the location of Lord Narasimhadevas apperance. Ahovalam is the place.All these holy places are described in Skanda Purana and a good translation of this sacred Purana will share light on many holy places.
Hari Sauri Prabhu even doubts that Lord Ramachandras lilas took place on this earth,,,this is just out to lunch....
Srila Prabhupada did not say not to write the article about Ahovalam as the place because of Jayadvaita Swamis doubts this is a misunderstanding of Hari Sauri das, many years later the BTG did eventually grow up and published an article about Indraduymna Swamis visit to Ahovalam .Then again in 2007 or so , Romapada Swami also challenged Ahovalam as the actual appearance place of Lord Narasimha. (at ISKCON Baltimore)
I am sorry these are childish doubts of some of Srila Prabhupadas disciples, I humbly ask they give up their misconceptions about these places and accept the actual facts as confirmed by sastra.And by Srila Prabhupada himself.
your servant
