Subject: Definitions of visvadevas & pracetas?

[Guest guest]

Anantha prnamams to Sriyuths Sadagopan and

Anbil Ramaswamy for pramanams on Visvadevas,

who are invoked in pairsin during both shubha and

punya samskarams.

 

I always wondered about the Visvadeva Sthanam

in Paarvana Shraddham.

 

Sri Narayana Bhattar (priest) explained to me that,

the Visvadeva pairs are like two witnesses who

communicate to our ancestors.

Perhaps, some of our ancestors are reborn and may be

our own neighbour or lot younger to us.

Their life will get better by our performance of

ordained vidhis. Likewise, if our life is smoother,

part of it may be attributed to the vidhis karthas among us.

This is a wonderful, built-in mutually self-supporting system.

lokaah samasthaah sukhinO bhavanthu).

 

In Bhagavad- Gita,

Krishna chooses himself to be

Vishnu among the 12 Adityas

( aadityaanaam aham Vishnuh) Ch.10v.21,

Sankara amond Rudras

(Rudraanaam Sankarahchaasmi) Ch. 10, V23,

and Pavaka among the 8 Vasus

(Vasunaam paavakaschaasmi) Ch.10, v23.

 

Vishwasi,
