RE: Dr.N.S.Anatha Rangachar's Tele-Upanyasam

[Guest guest]

Putrakameshti yagam is kamya karma. kamya karma is not nishiddha or denied

in the shastras. but kamya karma will not help in attainment of spiritual

perfection. One has to experience the good or bad effects of kamya karma

and then only work for spiritual perfection. Dasharatha was not looking for

moksha. He was looking for a person to take care of his kingdom. Hence he

wanted a son to take care of it. It is perfectly fine that he did it. What

is wrong when he is not looking for moksha. In fact Smt. Radharangarajan

pointed out that Dasharatha went to svarga after death (not moksha) as per

Ramayana. That is fine.

 

for us who are only interested in moksha, we should be careful to avoid

kamyakarma since it is useless in helping us attain moksha.

Dr.N.S.Anatha Rangachar's Tele-Upanyasam

 

 

sri:

srimathe ramanujaya namaha

srimathe nigamantha maha desikaya namaha

 

Dear Bhaktas,

 

adiyen was blessed to listen to the tele-upanyasam od

U.Ve.Dr.N.S.Anantha Rangachar(NSA).

 

Sri NSA and Sri NSA's brother Sri Karyam of

Poundareekapuram Ashramam in Bangalore U.Ve.Dr.Anantha

Narasimhachar (Kittu Vaadyar) is very well know to our

family.

 

I have one small question which I was a bit late in

posting to the forum during the tele-upanyasam.

 

Swami NSA mentions about the demerits of kamyakarmam.

PutrakamEsthi yagam is a sort of kamyakarmam. In

Srimad Ramayanam Dasharathar performs PutrakamEsthi

yagam. How is the event explained on a vaidika stand?

 

Smt.Radha Rangarajan had answered my question, but my

PC Phone got cut off by the time I could listen to her

answer.

 

I would be glad to get this naieve doubt of mine

clarified.

 

Thanks and Regards,

 

daasan Malolan
