336. OM PURANDARAYA NAMA: ॐ पुरन्दराय नम:
Destroys the Cities of Asuras.
Today's lecture is from Panchavati, near Nasik.
Panchavati means Five banyan trees. There is a museum depicting incidents in Ramayana. Purandara means burning down 'puri' or towns. At this place Lord Sri Rama, without any assistance, destroyed 14,000 Rakshasas. Swami Desika says it was like a great elephant effortlessly destroying lotus pond! The Lord destroyed Tripura.
