There are three instances, two of them directly

and the third indirectly. The two direct ones

are sri srivatsaangaachar's ongoing upanyaasams and

Sridhar thaathaachar's upanyaasam on chatuslOgi in 1991

summer when I was in India. The third instance is

during my parent's baranyaasam. I was not present

for the occassion, but my father described what

took place. I understand azhagiya singar described

how to deal with saivites and what should be our

view of sivan. Having said this, I have also wondered

why sivan is not included in our guru parambara. Perhaps

he should come right after Sri and before VisvaksEnar!

 

 

There are some really interesting paasurams with

respect to Sivan. I have already shared one with

this group. There is one that refers to Arjunan

using flowers from Lord Vishnu's feet for praying

to Sivan in his pursuit to get paasupaasthram. More

on this later.
