EDITORIAL:

Dear Bhagavatas:

We have completed the two series on

(1) on Sri Ranga Vijayam and

(2) Sampradaya Lessons.

Hope you enjoyed both. We look forward to your comments on the

above.

IN THIS ISSUE:

1.“. QUIZ PROGRAM 2 - ANSWERS

You will remember that quite a while ago, we posed a few queries under our

“Quiz Program”. We present below the answers to some of these queries.

1. How did the Lord get the mole called "Srivatsam"?

2. Lord NarAyaNa has names such as "munjakEsan" and "KhaNDaparasu"

What do these mean?

3. When and why do Vaidheekas wind the sacred thread around their ear?

4. What does “KalpAntha RAmAyaNam” mean?

5. Do you know that Sri Sita performed SandhyAvandanam?

6. Can ladies do "Pitru TharpaNam"?

7. There is a SlOkam that refers to Sri Rama sitting in "VeerAsanam">

(veerAsanE susthitham) What does this 'Aasanam" mean?

------

Answers to the following Queries will follow in the next issue:

Please stay tuned!

8. There are some passages in Srimad Vaalmiki Ramayanam itself which

seem to lend internal evidence to conclude that Sri Rama had spouses

other than Sri Sita? How is this reconciled with the description of

Sri Rama as "Eka pathni vrathan"?

9. Do you know that according to some reports, Hanumaan had not only a

wife but also a son?

10. What is “Rama Gita”?
