Raghu Veera Gadhyam of Vedantha Desika


                         (Maha  Veera   Vaibhavam   of  Sri Vedantha   Desika)

                                                                Translated   by
                                                           ( P.R.Ramachander)                
Introduction

“Vedanta Desika's Raghuveera Gadyam, which celebrates Lord Rama's valour, was composed when he was residing at the temple town of Thiruvendipuram in Tamil Nadu. The temple has icons of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita, and here Rama is seen as Kodandarama (with a bow in His hand).
Inspired by this, Desika wrote Raghuveera Gadyam, in which he focuses on Rama as a ‘veera' (warrior). But Rama was not an ordinary warrior. He was a ‘mahaveera.' He was not only capable of fighting courageously Himself, but could also lead an army. Thus, He combined in Himself the qualities of courage and leadership. Hence, Desika referred to Him as a ‘mahaveera,' said Vaduvur Veeraraghavachariar. In fact, Raghuveera Gadyam is known as Mahaveera Vaibhavam.” Gadhya means “prose” . The great poet chose this unusual form possibly   because  the existence of Three great books (Gadhya Thrayam) written in Gadhyam style by by the great Acharya  Ramanuja,”(Source : http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/religion/article2633529.ece)
    The book does not  attempt to tell the story of Ramayana  and not even summarize   Ramayana but   brings before us    some of the very important and striking   scenes of Ramayana .  The words used  vary from soft to hard  and   takes great care   to make  it most suitable to describe the scene that   it depicts.
      This is a simple translation. Readers interested to read a very scholarly translation with commentaries    are requested to  visit http://www.sundarasimham.org/ebooks/ebook5.htm
