Dear Sriman Malolan Kadambi,

 

Sriman Dr. NSA swamy (adiyEn's grand father) has given the following reply

to your query on putra kAmeshti yAgam:

 

"PutrakamEshti is a particular kind of sacrifice performed combined with

the performance of the horse sacrifice(ashwamEdha).

PutrakamEshti and AshwamEdha are both kAmyakarmas only. AshvamEdha yagins do

not attain moksha. In brihadAraNyaka a question is asked to Yagnavalkya

(where does an Ashwamedha Yagin go ?) and he assigns a place to them, but it

is not communion with god.

 

Attaining moksha thru Ahwamedha as mentioned in Sruthi is just a prashamsa

vakya.

 

Dasharatha did Putrakameshti and Rama was born but Dasharatha did

not realise that Sri Rama was God himself. Hence Dasharatha did not go to

Moksha

but only Swarga."

 

Thanks to Sriman Narasimhan (Dr. NSA's son) for forwarding this reply.

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
