Is "Sri Lanka" the Lanka of the Ramayana? (shyamasundaradasa.com)

Shyamasundara das the socalled ISKCON astrologer wrote this misinformation that Sri Lanka is not the place where Lord Ramachandra went,Listen to any lecture of Srila Prabhupada about Ramanavami where Srila Prabhupada states in many places ,that Sri Lanka Cylon is the place of Ravanas kingdom .

It is mentioned in many sastras and confirmed by acaryas, there is the Rama setu from Ramesvarama to Sri Lanka ,there are…

When Lord Ramachandra came to Dandakaranya forest all the sages wished to change body and become wifes of Lord Ramachandra, Lord Ramachandra said no I have only one consort it is Sitadeva, but I bless you in your next life you can become Gopis in Vraja and marry Sri Krsna, so from this point of understanding you can read this chapter two of the 4th canto in Garga Samhita .Srila Jiva Goswami explained that all the Gopis of Vraja though in parakriya Bhava are eternally married to Lord Sri…

GS 4.1: The Story of the Personified Vedas

GS 4.8: In the Story of the Yajna-sitas, the Glories of Ekadashi

The interesting thing about Garga Samhita like here in canto 4 it gives so much details ,the Yajnic Sitas ,where Deities of Sita used in fire sacrifices, after Sita was banished to the forest, and each time a Yajna was there another Sita Deity installed because Lord Ramachandra could not do these Yajnas without His wife,so one day all the Yajnic Sitas came to life as Deities are persons and they demanded Lord Ramachandra…

Krishnamacharyulu and Sri Ramanujacarya!

this first part is from Wikipedia :

Krishnamacharyulu's curse

Sri Kantha Krishnamacharyulu was a poet and musician who composed sankeertanas in praise of Varaha Narasimha.[17] As Narasimha danced listening to those songs, Krishnamacharyulu began showing offensive attitude towards others with arrogance.[17] When Ramanuja visited Simhachalam later, Krishnamacharyulu did not treat him properly. Ramanuja wanted to know whether Vishnu…

question raised 11 years ago :

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! First I will just raise the issue before we can discuss further.

For this reason, editions of Ramayana other than Valmiki Ramayana do…

I think about Rama who is every second pretty,

Who has hands reaching up to his thighs , who has lotus like eyes,

Who is pure all his life, who has a smiling face ,

Who is black , who holds bow and arrow and has a generous form.
