Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 sir,re.query of sri.ptsrinivasan- the restriction of hindus/brahmins not to travel across seas is perhaps if the travel takes more than a day when the nithyakaramanushtanam may be affected.airtravel theseday avoidsd these difficulties.dasan narayan --- "P.T.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 It is my understanding that even for performance of the anushThAnams within a day, there are rules to be observed (such as: arghyam during sandhyA is supposed to be offered while standing in knee-deep water etc.). There are rules even for how we should clean ourselves after mala visarjanam, mUtra visarjanam, etc. The prakRtam ahobila maTham azhagiya Singer has written a book on Ahnikam which might go into the details of the nitya anushThAnams. -dAsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Dear Sir your thoughts are well founded. Most of Brahmins are not having KUDUMI. But Brahmins should do nithya karmas without omission Then only other rituals will give the desired results Those who seek moksha and do not want rebirth should have pancha samskara and prapathi.They should conduct themselves as true brahmins for which DOs and DONTs will be of use. Please refer my book Sri Vaishnava sampradayam-Sila mukya vishayangal And YEN-YENNA-YHERKKU Dasan Thiruvahindrapuram Uruppattur Soundararajan Chairman Sri Kanchi Perarulalan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
