Sri Sadgurubhyoh namah
When the construction of bridge across ocean is started (sethubandhanam), Rama consecrates a Shivalinga. This is called Rameshwaram. Rama proclaims "Whoever visits the sethu (bridge) and prays to Rameshwara will get rid of Brahma hatya dosha (sins commited). Further whoever bathes in sethusamudram and visits the Rameshwaram temple and does sankalpa of going to Kasi (varanasi) and brings Ganga water back to Rameshwaram to do Abhisheka (pouring of water on shivaling) will definitely reach Brahmapada (Ultimate abode)" .
Meaning :
Ocean stands for Samsara sagara. Varanasi is ajna chakra, Ganga water is jnana ganga. Rameshwara is the paramatma that is residing in Ajnachakra. Whoever worships Paramatma with wisdom , beyond Ajna chakra, he reaches the ultimate abode.
Prabhu's correction :
Brahma hatya dosha is killing brahma = self. Ignorance of self
