Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Sri: Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya namaha Dear Bhagavathas: adiyEn understands that consuming Panchakavyam makes one's body pure, nullifies the pApa and also makes one (yokyatha) eligible to do vaidhika karma. Otherwise, one cannot do. adiyEn lives in the US for some years, and doesn't know whether this is available here. During upAkarma, one has to have this three times with appropriate manthram and take snAnam after each consumption. Can anyone explain what is the alternative for not having Panchakavyam? vachaka doshaha kshantavyaha dasan govindarajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Dear Shri Govindarajan Panchakavyam is made of five substances all from cow (1)Milk (2) Yogurt (3) Ghee (4) Cow-dung (5) Go-Moothram. The mantrAs are given in Gopala Desika Ahnikam (ApyAyasva...., DadikravinnO.. etc) Panchakavyam is taken before any Special Vaidika karma and it is not difficult to obtain it here. Hare Krishna missions maintain Go-ShAlAs and you can obtain the necessary ingredients from there. I don't think we have to take snAnam after each consumption. Kindly check with your achAryA. The only substitute for Panchakavyam I can think of is: "Apavitra: pavitrO vA, sarvAvasthAm gatOpivA ya: smarEth pundarIkAksham, sa bhAyAbhyantara shuchi:" The above mantra is also used in mantra snAnam. Thinking of EmperumAn and installing Him in our heart will purify us. (PavitrAnam pavitram..)
