ThirmaN wearing by the Lord and His devotees

[Guest guest]

Dear people,

 

I have two basic questions

 

 

1.If thiruman is considered as lotus foot of lord,then why do we see

lord wearing thiruman in temples?

 

2. i live in a small apparment in germany.the only religious practice

i still continue is Sandhyavandanam.

And i give argayam in a small plate.can i drink this argayam water

after my Sandhyavandanam? r can i use it to water some plant in my

appartment? as i dont want to throw the argam water in wash basin.

 

Kindly clarify.

Dear Sriman Gopalakrishnan,

 

We place thiruman on perumal for us to remind of his lotus feet even as

we enjoy his

face.

 

Arghyam water can be poured over plant bed.

Dear sri gopalakrishna

 

The face of the lord is adorned with thiruman as an alankaram for

him. this is done by us.

 

Actually his face is adorned with kasthoori thilakam

- leela sukhar slokam is also there - this same slokam is also

available in mukundha mala by king kulasekara.

 

kasthoori thilakam lalaata palakE vakshasthalE kousthubham

naasaagre nava moukthikam kara thalE vENum karE kangaNam --

 

as rightly said it is also to remind us to wear and remember his feet.

 

argyam water is not to be touched by our feet and that is why it is

to be poured out in such a place where do not put our foot. when it

is not to be touched again, there is no question of drinking it.

 

actually argyam water is the bow which removes the obstructions

created in the path of sun, when he starts his daily travel from east

to west togive energy to all creations in the world. so the argyam

water offered by brahmanas goes as bows to kill those who create

these obstructions in the path of sun. as such it also carries the

blood stains of those killed who created the obstruction to sun. so

such a stained substance should not be taken in by us under any

circumstance.
