Agama Sastras..

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavadothamaas,

Please excuse me for my casual English.

 

I have a friend in Srirangam named Sri.Ramaswami

who is presently doing his final year of B.E.in civil Engineering.

He has now taken the task of finding and reprinting all those valuable

Agama Sastras for which he has registered a trust also.The ardous work of

compiling is done by Sri.U.Ve.ES.V.Narasimhacharya Swami (Asthana Vidwan

of SrimathAhobila Mutt).

 

RamaSwami's inspiration for starting that work is that those Agama Sastras

contain

so much of stuffed information and points to get innovation in Civil

Engineering and Structures in which many people here and in abroad work up

on.

>From them I came to know that we have lost so much of those

treasures.Some of the cantos in them are permenantly missing.Some of them

are found in a very weared manner fully decomposed by environment and by

whiteants.

 

>From Ramaswami I came to know that some important cantos which specially

deals with these Structures and Civil Engg aspects have been safe guarded

by some American Institutes.He got one photocopy of one among them.

 

After going through some of the basic rules of these Aagamas I came to

know that most of the temples don't follow it strictly.Some of the

temples in Kerala in India are following it strictly.The penalties given

for not following these rules are very highly fearful.

 

Anything offered to God in an uncleanly manner(Sudhdham Illaamai

in Tamil) are considered to be Non Veg items.This is one of the rule.

 

God turns Ugra! when these rules are not followed properly.The

immediate effect is that either that surroundings get damage or the in the

Sanctum Sanctorium.People say that once it happened in Srirangam that Lord

Ranganatha (Moolavar) got fire.This is suppose some 70 years before.

 

During the year of 1997-98 One of the idols of the Gopuram of Sri.

Ranganachiyar Shrine in Srirangam got totally damaged by a powerful

lightening.

 

The God's Roopam itself imposes ugra nature.Depending up on how God looks

in Sanctum Sanctorium lies the nature of response to faults.

 

Temples in Kerala follow the rules more

cautiously than one in Tamilnadu.When I had a trip to Kerala for going to

all the Tirupathis (in 1995), those Nambudris in our temples perform

Aradhana at the morning at 4.00 a.m with wet Dhoti after taking a bath in

nearby canal.I observed another thing also.They didn't touch us in any

sense fearing that we may be unclean and ofcourse thats true.The same

thing when done in T.N or in other states is considered to be

Untouchability.

 

So it is up to us to follow atleast those Agamas perfectly at the most.

 

I request all Bhagavadothamas to safeguard all those scripts in any

language in which they have.

 

Adiyen,

 

Parthasarathy dasan.
