Starwise Desika Stotra patas

[Guest guest]

Dear All :

 

We had some discussions recently on reciting specific

SthOthram of Swamy Desikan on a particular day , when one

of the 27 stars is in ascedance .This is not for KaamyArtham .

 

There is also a tradition to recite specific sthOthrams from our AchAryAs

during the different stages of TadhiyArAdhanam . This is the path of

AchAryAs during the TadhiyAraadhanams . This is just the opposite of

running for the door after taking part in a TadhiyArAdhanam involving

a Vaidhika GhOshti .

 

I had asked for clarification from Sriman Govindarajan Swamy , who is

known to many of You from his untiring efforts to teach Sanskrit

from his bases in MadhurAnthakam and Muscat .He is very knowledgable n

such matters as a sishya of great AchArya Paramparais . I am thankful

for his informative response . With his permission , I would like to share

his input and encourage you to adopt this ancient practise in your homes

as well .
