Dear BhAgavatAs,

Thank you for answering adiyEn's questions. Is it specifically mentioned by

Bhagavath Ramauja that Anya Devata Aradhana(chantingSrirudram, Aditya

hridayam) would amount to 'Blasphemy' and would violate one's adherenceto

Srivaishnavism. .................

.............................................................

 

Is reciting Aditya Hrudayam amount to Anya Devata worship? Sri Rama did

chant this 3 times before engaging in battle with Ravana.

 

Could some one clarify?

Dear BhAgavatAs,

Thank you for answering adiyEn's questions. Is it specifically mentioned

by Bhagavath Ramauja that Anya Devata Aradhana(chantingSrirudram, Aditya

hridayam) would amount to 'Blasphemy' and would violate one's adherence

to Srivaishnavism. If so where is it mentioned? What is the harm if the

bhagavata while fully realizing that the Antarayami in everything is

SrimanNArAyana worships other devatas but does the aradhana without

'Kama' and Surrenders to the Supersoul of the Devatas, SrimanNArAyana.

AdiyEn has not had Samashrayanam. If someone has Samashrayanam and

Bharanyasam and the Acharya asks the bhagavata not to perform pooja for

any other devata other than Sriman NArAyana, then is the bhagavata bound

by what the Acharya says or read books to seek proofs for the same and

then decide one way or the other? If one does anya devata worship in

addition to all the daily rites and prayers prescribed for a

srivaishnava, Will he still be denied Moksha by Sriman NarAyana?

AdiyEn is very ignorant to even engage in this conversation so please

forgive and feel free to correct adiyEn and put him on the right path!

AdiyEn cannot read or write Tamil, only sanskrit and kannada. AdiyEn is

from Bangalore and speaks hebbar iyengar Tamil at home. So i need books

on Prabhandam with Translation. I have the book for Thiruvaizmuli but

not the translation(kannada or english) for rest of the 3000 pasarums.

Please suggest me some books.
