Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Pranams Recently there was a discussion about Saligrama Aradhanai. Regarding this, i have a doubt. REQUESTING THE BHAGAVATHALS TO KINDLY GUIDE ME PROPERLY. Four years back when i went to Nepal, i brought many Saligrama murthys (nearly fifty) which were of different size with different colours, shape and gave all that to one sadhu. But i kept four of them in home and distributed one murthy each to some of my family members. When i went out the country i gave all the four murthams to my in-laws. I am very much sure that in all my family including my in-laws, are not doing daily abishekam/offering a tulasi to the murthy though they does the naivedhyam, which is the daily practice in all the house. Now, what should i do? can i request them to hand over the murthys to some madam or to some vaishnava who does the aradhanai daily?? many of them kept the murthy just like that in their pooja place not even inside a box. Now, after reading the different mails,guidance from different acharyas and Sriman Sadagopan's article about Saligrama aradhanai, i feel very much guilty of giving the murthys though unknowingly to my family members who doesnt know the value. What should i do if they(including my in-law) are not willing to give the murthy to some vaishanava or to mutt?? I am now very much afraid also becoz will PERUMAL ever forgive me for having done this great apacharam to Him?? pranams once again rajalakshmi Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Dear Smt Raji Sridhar By definition, PERUMAL is infinitely merciful. HE is not given to pleasure or displeasure. HE has no expectations. So please rest assured PERUMAL is not going to chase you down and punish you. However, it is important to ask would we do that to 2 month old baby or 13 day old baby. We should care for PERUMAL like we would a new born or very old mother. The baby does not care nor does the old mother. We derive pleasure doing so. Same here. PERUMAL by HIS own words is very next to you as a bagawatha for thinking along these lines. I am not a seer or vedic personality...just another slave of PERUMAL living a working life. These are my personal opinions. Please do consult Acharyan to guide you properly. --- RAJI SRIDHAR <sridharaji wrote: > Pranams > > > Recently there was a discussion about Saligrama > Aradhanai.
