Sollinselvar V Subburaman began the discourse with comparison/contrast of Rama and Krishna, the two poorna avatars of Maha Vishnu.

Rama	Krishna
Born in Palace	Born in Jail
Born amidst four people – Dasaratha, Kaushalya, Kaikeyi, Sumitra	Born amidst four people – Vasudevar, Devaki, Nandagopan, Yashoda
Born at 12 noon	Born at 12 midnight

Crossed Ganga to go to forest	Crossed Yamuna to go to Gokulam
Kothandam Kaisumantha Kotravan  (கோதண்டம் கைசுமந்தக் கொற்றவன்  For Rama it is clear that he is the King who had the bow - Kothandam	Kothandam Kaisumantha Kotravan This is applicable to Krishna too Ko+thandam Ko- cow Thandam – stick Krishna herded the cows with a stick
Gobiaathavan gunathuk kotravan (கோபியாதவன் குணத்துக் கொற்றவன்)   Very soft spoken, great king	Gobiaathavan gunathuk kotravan King of Gopikas and Yadavas

Bala leelai went on like this – Yashoda went to Nandagopan’s brother Upanandan’s house requesting him to check on Krishna’s health as he was not eating well.

“Who? Krishna is not eating well? He is the one who ate

-         Aval (beaten rice) from Kuchelar

-         Butter from Gopikas

-         Snacks from Yadavas

-         Keerai (greens) from Draupadi

-         Poison from Boothana

-         Kanji (porridge) from Vidhuran

-         Food from Perunchotru Cheralathan”

Most of these are familiar stories to all. Sri Suburaman expanded on the last two stories. Check the next blog for the same.
