Guest guest Posted January 14, 1999 Report Share Posted January 14, 1999 1999-01-14 Dear bAgawathAs, I am a newcomer to this latest and an ignoramus on many things concerning our own sampradayam. I am thrilled to see the scholarly discourses and explanataions which are available in this mailing list. I have a lot to learn from you all. As is expected of any new member in any community, I present myself. My poorvigam can be traced to a tiny village called DUSI near Kanchipuram, just across the Paalaar. I am settled in Hyderabad, now on a visiting assignment in a German University. My webpage gives more personal details. I saw two questions in the latest Bhakti Digest concerning Parthasarathy perumaal. I have two more related questions: 1. Everyone knows the origin of the name Partha + sarathy. Why does the name Partha (prthasya putra) apply only to Arjuna, and not to other Kunti putras ? Why did the Lord choose to address only Arjuna this way ? 2. Since Lord Krihna gave the Gita upadesaam to Arjuna, he can be considered to be the guru of Arjuna. What Guru-dakshinai did Arjuna give to Krishna ? Is there any mention of such a guru-dakshinai being given by Arjuna, any where in any scriptures ? Please help me by clearing my above queries. Adiyen daasan, Srinivasan Parthasarathy ------- Dr. S.
