Namaskarams..

I too feel the same. And translation effort or an analysis of those

manthrams in modern world and projecting the essence and power of those

manthrams would be just a great gift we could share with all the members and

for FUTURE generations.

Dear Shri Vasu Vadhyar Swamin

A few thoughts about your reply:

/God is everywhere/

--acceptable statement. But this does not mean to deny the presence of

Him in Idols.

/Idol is mere representation

/-- not acceptable. Idol is more than that. After consecreation, idol

becoms Suddha Satvam and God resides in it. (????????? ????????

?????????? ????????)

/If you are able to come to the stage that real God is facing every

direction

/--this statement assumes that in the spiritual evolution, idol worship

is a stage and you get across this stage to realise higher God--which is

also not correct. We say God assumes five States of existence. (?????

??????????? ?????? ????????? ????? ????????...???????????? ?????????????

....)

These are some of the popular thoughts sewn by non-Visishtadvaidtins,

which have settled deep-rooted from our younger days and should be

removed totally.

I may be corrected, if wrong.

K Murali

*** I accept all your statements.

But I did not told god is not there in that idol. I also explained in another

question also the same thing.

At this point I wish to clear thing that one should not think that God is only

in the idol which is kept in the pooja room, and we should keep our decipline

their only.

Also to stress a point elders will use the " Nahi nindha nyayam " to make a thing

great for that praticular point or reason by comparing a popular thing.

Dear NVS

Really beautifully explained. A true brahmin you are, that is proved. Pl

keep it up.

Another member had critizised my explanation and he is correct.

To encourrage one to do as what he think liberally, I degraded the one of the

most important 'Avatharam' of God the 'Archai'. This is due to lake of English

knowledge. If I explained it in Tamil I could able to mangae both the things.

Another thing we should keep in mind.

There is no Agama rules for establishing a pooja room in a house except some

traditional followings. Elders knew it very well, that it is very difficult to

follow a strict rule in homes. So, they grant us the Archai as Saalagrama

moorthi facing all the sides.

Sombody may raise abjecting in this also as " The Vadhanm (hole) side is the face

of a Saalagrama moorthy " .

Simple Living

High Thinking

April 2, 2007

SrI:

Dear Sri Lakshman Iyer :

If the SamprOkshaNam /KumbhAbhishEkam

was done in VaikAnasa Way , then the worship has

to continue the same way . Same for PaacharAthram

way of Consecration , which has to be followed by

PaancharAthra Mode of worship . The two VaishNavite Aagamaas

are VaikhAnasa ( linked to Sage Vikanasa ) and the other

linked to Sriman narAyaNa Himself . The VaikAnasa Bhattars

are at Thirumalai , Oppiliappan Sannidhi , ThirukkOyilUr

,Thiruvaheendhrapuram ,

ThiruvallikkENi and a few other places . Typically ,

there are more temples in PaancharAthra Mode of

worship . PaancharAthra priest is more flexible than

VaikhAnasa mode . There are schools at Kanchi , Melkote

where students are trained to become priests in either of

the modes . You can therefore find the priest trained

in VaikAnasa Aagamam

There are two things in your note that struck me :

1.Your village is prosperous

2. The previous VaikAnasa priest was sent out rather unceremoniously

and that has led to bruises with in that community .

There are poor VaikAnasa Priests , who will jump with

joy over a good offer ( a house , good salary and more than

anything else respect ) . I can give you nmaes of few

VaikAnasa Bhattars to start your recruitment process .

You would have to visit some of these places to choose

who may be the most appropriate . Many priests are leaving

their traditional places in the temples and are going for MBA

and IT Jobs .

Best wishes ,

V.Sadagopan

P.S : " Po Devi " should be spelled BhU Deavi ( BhUmi Devi) .

Dasan!

It is better to continue the same Vaikanasa tradition inyour village temple with Vaikanasa priest.

In case you don't get asuitable Vaikanasa bhattar, then you may approach Pancharatra Agamavidwans to convert the mode of worship to Pancharatra Agamam by doingSamprokshanam as per Pancharatra tradition. Thereafter any Pancharatrabhattar can do the kainkaryams.

Dasan !

Ilayavilli sBoovarahan

Quoting laxmansk2001:

> Dear Sir,

Ibelong to SUNDARAPANDIAPURAm AN AFFLUENT VILLAGE IN

tIRUNELVELIDISTRICT and our prime temple deity is

SRI RAJAGOPALASWAMY withSreedevi and Pothevi.

Accoding to agama sasthra, only VAIHANASAMpriests

should only do puja in our temple. Now nearly fo the

last 4/5years, only a smarha boy is doing the puja.

The earlier priest(vaishnava) was rather

unceremoniously sent out with the result hisclan are

unwilling to come for puja in our temple.

Is it right thatother than vahanas vaishnavite can do

puja. Will it not be breakingthe traditionns and

does the SUPREME LORD will accept the worjshipby

other than a vaihanasa priest. Request your advice

and guidance.

Please offer your valuable suggestion. Perhaps you

will be in aposition to help finding a aihanasa

priest.

With kindregards,

Dear Swamin,

This refers to the explanation given to " Pitchai eduthan perumal, athai

pidunginathan hanumar. " Kudos to him for explaining the meaning of the most used

proverb.

Respectful SwAmin, The tharpanam water contains ellu which is not supposed to be poured on muddy floor to prevent any plant growth from left over ellu. This is what adiyEn heard as said by seniors. So it should not be poured in the Tulasi pot. Hope it is correct.

Respected vasu mama,

After completing sandyavandanam, I usually says 'SARVAM SRI KRISHANARPANAMASTHU'

and pour the remaining water in tulasi. However as per your advice, i think i

should stop putting the water in tulasi and put the left over water in wash

basin and only argyam water should be put in tulasi. am i right? My doubt is if

v say sarvam sri krishnarpanamasthu, it is presumed to be placing it in the

lotus feet of the Lord, hence wd it be proper to put the water in wash basin. I

thought as the lotus feet is as sacred as a tulasi and hence putting the water

in tulasi. pl. advice.

regards

sridhar/railways

***

The whole universe is a tiny part of the Lotus feet of Sriman Narayanan only

(including the wash basin, Pooja room, Tulsi pot etc. of your house).

And

'Sarvam Krishnarpanamastu' is not meant the remaining water, it denotes all " the

karma Phalan " done by you from start to end of this sandhya vandhanam is

submitted to Lord Krishna's account and not to my account is the real meaning.

If you have a place other than wash basin, say under the water tap placed in the

kitchen etc. can be used for your satisfaction .

Here is my explanation for previous doubt raised by another member:

Always the " Sandhyayai namaha " should start from the corresponding direction and

the remaining should follow the remaining direction.

Morning Sandhyayai namaha towards - East

Afternoon Sandhyayai namaha towards - North

Evening Sandhyayai namaha towards - West.

Also, I request members like deepak kumar vasudevan,

always giving links to other websites, it is not a good practice.

We should try to give the answer on that spot with the reference page etc

instead of redirecting members from reading other posts in our group.

Also all members are learned persons, they know well to search the internet to

find results. Here members are expecting the authenticated reply from educated

persons like Dr.Sadagopan and some experienced persons.

Also if we place the answer in this group, then only it will be helpful for all

members and to get other members opinions regarding the subject. Otherwise the

one or two interested (very small percentage) persons only can visit the

redirected page.
