About Ayodhya
Ayodhya is a city situated on the banks of the Sarayu river in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Ayodhya is one of the “saptha maha shetras”. it was the capital of Suryavamsha dynasty, where Lord Sri Rama took birth and rightly called Rama Janmabhoomi.
Sri Vaadhiraaja in his book Tirtha prabandhaa, explains the beauty of holy place Ayodhya, after praying Lord Sri Rama in this place.
Holy Saint Vaadhiraaja Swamin compares Ayodhya city with “Sthree/Women”. she is very strict but auspicious , and divine Women. the one with highest and finest qualities, the one who follows Dharma always. the one who’s always meditating Lords feet. When her husband Lord Sri Rama was not in the city, she was waiting for her husband to come back, who was on exile but she was always great & well disciplined in her tapas on her husband. She was waiting to feel the vibrant presence of her husband(Lord Rama), the one who protects righteous devotees always!
Saint Vaadhiraaja had to compare because holy place Ayodhya was always attached to Lord Sri Rama, as this place cannot live without Lord Sri Narayana’s presence, is the concept behind. We cannot separate Lord from this place!
Sri Vaadhiraaja Swamin lived during 14th Century, this confirms that the city Ayodhya was having a beautiful temple built for Lord Sri Rama.
Sri Purandara Daasaru beautifully describes Ayodhya Sri Rama. O Lord who lives in Ayodhya shethra, the one who gives only happiness to his devotees. the one who destroys his devotees EGO. and protects every souls to attain the highest state. Lord, please bless us!

As Purandara Daasaru rightly says, chanting of holy mantra of Sri Rama gives strength and aproksha gyana. as its secret mantra for which Mukyaprana surrenders Lord Sri Ramas feet. and this is rightly called Vaasi Yoga, as per Siddha purushas. Control of Praana inner self results in self realisation.
Let Jagadguru Madhwacharyaa’s guru Sri Rama bless everyone with Gyana bhakthi and Vairagya.
