Vilwadri Nadha
Keeerthnam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(One of the greatest Rama temple of Kerala is
Thiruvilwamala. The God is consecrated below
a Vilwa tree and is called Sri Vilwadrinathan..When my friend Smt Geetha
Narayanan send this stotra , initially I
thought it was referring to lord Shiva (lord of Vilwa) but when I started
understanding it, I could see it was a prayer addressed to Lord Rama. You can
read about this great temple in http://rajathathaskeralatemples.blogspot.com/2011/11/thiruvilwamala-ramabhadra-swamy-temple.html )
