Questions Regarding No Worship of Shiva By Rama

[Guest guest]

Priya Sriman Srinivasa Kumar!

Jai Srimannarayana!

 

You are very very little, so far as

your knowledge is concerned.

 

Authenticity of the scriptures and

the history, is accepted by the great

people like Sankaracharya, RAmanujacharya

and Madhwacharya etc., not by the people

born today and yesterday, here and there.

 

You may paint a picture with your face

and a lion body and if you have some money

you may construct a temple with that

figure also. It may, people think, become

authority after a few hundereds of years.

But not.

 

Rameswaram also became like that. As there

are some people to authenticate the

scientific facts, there are some people to

recommend ancient history and puranas also.

Some are accepted in total, some partially

and some are not accepted as authority.

Yet, they are called as puranas only. For

Itiha:sas, which are nothing but the world's

ancient history, no one is authorized to

meddle with them and they are unchangeable

so far as their story is concerned, for they

were written, when it was happening.

 

Our mangalasasanams to you all on the eve of

Vijayadasami.
