UpavAsa vrathAnushtAnams, pAraNam, naimiththika ArAdhanams, pAdukA ArAdhanams

[Guest guest]

Dear SrI VaishNavas,

 

I have written detailed articles on the following subjects

after writing on IgyA (laghu-tiruvArAdhana kramam) &

Urdva-puNdra dhAraNa vidhi

 

1. UpavAsa vrathAnushtAnams (EkAdaSi, SravaNa-dwAdaSI,

SrI Jayanthi, SrI rAma navami, SrI nrusimha jayanthi etc)

2. pAraNam (dwAdaSI, trayOdaSi(after SravaNa dwAdaSI) etc)

and theertha-pAraNam

3. naimiththika ArAdhanams

(on SrI Jayanthi, SrI rAma navami, SrI nrusimha jayanthi etc)

4. AchArya SrI pAdukA ArAdhanams

 

All these things must be done as per SAstra's prescriptions.

Mere "not-eating food" is not upavAsa vrathAnushTAnam.

Its anushTAnam has been clearly specified in dharma-SAstras, Aahnika

granthams with sankalpam, mantrams etc. Similarly pAraNam.

 

I request people interested in these subjects

to write to me mshari so that I can email the

articles to them.

 

I state that these Vaidika anushTAnams (indeed all Vaidika anushTAnams)

must be learnt only from SrI VaishNava vidwAns in

Aahnika granta kAlakshEpams. Then you may ask "why are you

writing these articles?". The aim of these articles is just

to stress the importance of Vaidika anushTAnams and try to

explain the meaning of pramANa vachanams, mantrams and kriyA

with an aim to increase the interest and spread them. Similarly,

sidhdAntham has to be learnt only from SrI VaishNava vidwAns in

VEdAntha granta kAlakshEpams. The same nyAya applies here also

for articles on sidhdAntham.

 

Thanks & Regards

M.S.HARI rAmAnuja dAsan (mshari)

Its not without reason that our ancestors have included UpavAsam and

pAraNam. Scientific evidence clearly states that fasting followed by

a vegetarian diet effectively treats Rheumatoid Arthritis. The pity is

we give up all these simple anushtAnams and later get treated by

allopathic medicine which is notorious for 'Swallow One Tablet Get 10

Side effects free'.

 

Similar are the reasons behind AhAra Niyamam. Just because we are not

able to scientifically validate them does not prove them invalid. It

just states that science is not yet armed with the right tools. Mere

patch clamps and Atomic Force microscopes arent enough for these.

 

 

With Kindest Regards
