Sri Rama Karnamrutham

Sri Rama  Karnamrutham

By

Srimad Bhagwan  Nama  Bodendra  Saraswathi

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Swami Bodendra   Saraswathi was the 33^rd Pontiff of  Kanchi Kama Koti peetam, 59th peedathipathi  .(17^th centuary) is the author of this great book. .It was  he  who  first popularized   the chanting of God’s name as  BHajans  in Tamil Nadu and  this was  termed by him as  Bhagwatha  Dharma( The  Dharma   of those  who sing God’s name  for   getting salvation) . He has written several books on this subject. Some of them  are  Namamritha  Rasayanam , Namarutha  Rasarnavam  , Namamritha   Suryodhayam,  Namamritha  tharanagam etc. He   was again   one of the   first prominent   Rama devotee  of Tamil Nadu. He attained  Samadhi in Govinda puram on the banks of Cauvery    river. He was referred to as Bodendral  by those  who practice  Dakshina Sampradaya  BHajans.  In the Guru Dhyana    which is  sing during the Bhajans , people   sing about him as Guru Bodhendral  immediately  after  praying  to Lord Dakshinamurthy  .

     Rama Karnamrutham   is a series  of 178   verses  praising Rama   and was composed by Bodhendral.  It is our misfortune that  this book   is not   as famous as Sri Krishna Karnamrutham   of Leela Shuka. One reason could be   that  again by our bad luck, its popularity  is confined  only to Tamil Nadu. This is a humble   attempt   to popularize it.

Unlike normal Hindu stotra  books which end in mangala Slokam , this book  starts with  the Mangala Slokams. Most of these   songs   are  sung during Bhajans)
