Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 _/|\_ Hare Krishna & Vanakkam dear Vaishnavas, please advise me in my present situation. My sister in law gave birth yesterday to a beautifull girl. We are all happy and feel blessed to have received a new Lakshmi in our Family. My problem is that my parents said according our Eelam Hindu Tamil customs i can not do Abisheka etc. to the Deities in our House for 31 days.I follow a mixture of Gaudiya Vaishnavam and Sri Vaishnava belief. I do on Fridaya a special puja with mantras,Abishek,fire yajna for our House Deities Perumal(Vishnu)with Sridevi Bhudevi and Lakshmi, i say Narasimha & Narayana kavacam and Stotrams. According to the ISKCON they ´ve advised me to continue with my normal puja showing arati,ringing bells,lighting incense sticks,singing songs,offering flowers etc. to Krishna and Narasimha, however i was also advised that to certain Deities i shall not conduct a special Puja where certain Mantras are used. I will continue with my normal Puja but would love to do a very special puja with Abishek & fire yajna on this Weekend to my Home Deities Perumal with Sridevi Bhudevi and also Ganesh Statue. The Deities size are like the ones in a any Hindu Temple, they ´ve a seperate big room wich is only used as a puja room. I am quite confused about the Deity service,please all my dear loved Vaishnavas please advise me, if the deity workship can continue also for the next 31 days. Many Many Thanks for you replies in advance. Hare Krishna, Jai Sriman Narayana Murthi ki JAI adiyen Rangan PS: is there anything special to be done, according to our Vaishnava customs by a birth of a child(regardless girl or boy)????
