Post 17

 

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

In this post, we will see the naamaas which we use daily many times viz while

performing the aachamanam featured in Sree vishNu sahasra naamavaLi. So this

post carries the common thread of "aachamana manthra naamaas".

 

In particular, these naamaas are recited many times repeatedly on four occasions

in a day, by bhakthaas, namely

1. during the puNdra dhaaraNam - carrying the act of putting the thirumaN
