Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 All, I would like to have a clarification. Can any devotee in a Temple do namaskara (touching the feet) to a Priest? That too when the Priest is standing in front of the deity. If this is not correct, should the Priest advise the devotee accordingly?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Dear Bhagavatas: Forwarded is a reply on the subject of doing Sashtanga namaskaram inside the temple. May I add that such namaskaram should NOT be done between Bhagavaan and His Bhaagavatas (eg) Periya TiruvaDi (GaruDaazhwar Sannidhi) or Siriya TiruvaDi (AnjanEyar Sannidhi) installed facing the main deity in Sri VaishNava temples?. I learned this during the Sathabishekam celebrations of Srimad Andavan of PouNDarikapuram Swami Ashramam. When I did DanDavat praNaamams before him and PerumaaL on the dais at the special pandal, he asked me to do so only at the farther end beyond the groups of Bhagavatas assembled in front of the dais chanting Vedas and Prabandams, saying that it would be a disrespect to the Bhagavatas to do such namaskarams in between. I would suggest temple authorities to put up bill boards to this effect for the guidance of SEvaartis.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 /namastE. I am somewhat surprised at this. I request that no such posting be posted. A /namaskAram is a personal obeisannce. Ourreligion excels in personal acts and duties. If you say, a/bhi/vAdayE type of /praNAm, you have to make a gesture of touching the feet of the person bowed to, and it becomes obligatory to do the /namaskAram in front of the person irrespective of other conditions. In this case, one could do a general /namaslAram to all /bhAgavatAs at a determined moment on call for such a move. But to take away the personal element is to lay the foundations for making the veneration meaningless in course of time. We have lost so many such moves, and we are tryingto rediscover these acts. It may be considered a noble gesture on the part of /Srimad Andavan to forego the direct obeisasnce. But he really deprived the person of a psychological boost which the person was seeking. I am sorry to write so, but this kind of extreme /nYAsA makes a prayer meaningless. /vantanam.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Dear bhagavatottamas, Answer to Sri Narayan's querry is as follows: When inside the temple, pranams to be first for the deity (direction of namaskaram performance is important-not to do any apacharam to any nearby sannidhi, swamies, goshti & also near by temple). Regarding archaka vandanam, it can be performed again following the above norms (i.e.not to do any apacharam). In this context, the swamy should stand in a convenient nearby place and not in front of the deity. He should not be made to show his back to the deity. In other words the swamy & the devotee should be positioned in such a way that no apacharam is done by both. sajjana padapadma paramanuhu Lakshmi Narasimha dasan NARAYANHK wrote: All, I would like to have a clarification.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Respected Vishvanathan, I do see your point in retaining the noble act of namaskarams, but according to our poorvacharyas, bhagavatas are not to be disrespected even if we have to respect the allmighty and thats what i see Respected Anbil Swamy saying and quoting Andavan Swamy saying that do the namaskarams at the farthest point so that u do pay your respects to bhagavatas and bhagavan at the same time and not depriving the devotee from anything. These are very subtle details recognised and cherished by the Srivaishnava sampradyam. Thats y even in temples you would see a lot of devotess prostating at the dwajastambham and not coming in between Perumal and the devotees as a mark of respect to bhagavatas and all the devotees.
