A Question from the Valmiki Ramayana that will remain eternally Unanswered:

Was Vibheeshana a traitor to his country, kin and conscience?

This essay seeks to answer from the perspective of the Sri Vaishnava theological doctrine of “saranaagathi”.

Do download the PDF document and take some time to read it please.

Readers already familiar with the story of the Ramayana and with the Vedantic concept of Saranaagathi too will find this essay easy to read and absorb… even if they find it has aroused in their minds many more questions than the ones they think got answered! It’s OK…! Please send in such questions to me at my email ID and let’s have a discussion going!

Readers who are familiar with the story of the Ramayana but not with the Sri Vaishnava theology of Saranaagathi might read still want to read through this essay perhaps out of sheer intellectual curiosity.

Readers who are familiar with neither might find this essay readable but a little inscrutable… but that’s OK too… Do connect with me and perhaps I can unravel it all a bit more for you to get fascinated with the subject.

Regards
