Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Jai Srimannarayana! My respectful obeisance unto the lotus feet of HH Sri Jeeyar Swamiji. My name is Phanindra Narayan and I have few quires to which I would like to know the answers from you. 1. What are the criteria chosen by Vyasadeva for the division of Veda? 2. Does karma, gynana and upasana kandas exist in all the four divisions? 3. What makes saamaveda different for the Lord to say "vedaanaam saamavedo smi…"? Thank you, Phanindra.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 SrI: Dear Sri Venkat : Here re some answers to your queries : (1) Pavazha Malli is also known as PaarijAtham or coral Malli . It belongs to the botanical family of Nyctanthaceal . Its actua name is Nyctanthes-arbor- Tristis. It shares the common suffix of Malli such as GuNdu Malli ( Mathurai ) , Mara Malli , Nithya Malli , Sara Malli etc . These have fantastic , lingering fragrance . Pavazha or PavaLa Malli is anight blooming flower and is profusely flowerign in the Months of September thru December . I tcan be grown in pots in shady section of a balcony .It takes 12 to 18 months to flower from seed . It is preferrable to grow outddors as a tree ( ~4 Meters in height ) . It is considered to be a heavenly tree brought to earth by KrishNa from IndhrA's garden with the help of SathyabhAmA . At dhwArakai , both RukmiNi and SathyabhAma wanted the tree to be planted in their gardens . The clever KrishNa plante the tre in SathyabhAmA's garden but the wind blew he flowers over the fence to RukmiNi's garden . This flower is therfore very dear to the Lord because of the diplomatic solution tha the concieved to please both His devis. It has a divine fragrance . It is therfore called PaariAtham Flower tree . If the planrt is grown indoors in pots , they should not be overwatered. The flowers are normally offered to KrishNa TuLasi Plant . By the way , KrishNa TuLasi and VishNu TuLasi ( paler colored leaves) are both used in constructing garlands and archana for the Lord . The milky sap from the tree is poisonous and one has to exercise caution .The flowers usually fall on ground in the early morning right under the tree . Garlands are made by stringing a thread thru the hollow coral colored stem of the Flower . 2) Pavazha Malli is not the same as Vanamaalai or Vyjayanthy . One who wears Vana Maalai ( garland made of wild flowers of ' the forest is Vanamaalee) . 3) The fruits dear to Lord KrishNa are anything offered with affection . Naaval Pazham ( Rose apple / Jambhu) is very dear to Him . Navaneetham is very dear to Him among dairy products . 4) Sri VishNu sahasra Naamam is always an all expansive sthOthram that applies to all avathArams and VyUhams of Sriman narayana . Swamy Desikan's Gopala Vimsathy is very dear to Him . Sri Gopala Mantram is enshrined in this sthothram , which you can read with meanings at : http://www.ibiblio.org/sadagopan/sundarasimham e-Book 22 in the above series covers the Gopala Vimsathy . 5) Sudarsana Narasimha Sambhandham :Sudarsanar is the sanklapa Sakthi of Sri Nrusimha-Narayanan. Front is seated Narasimhan & the back of the six cornered yantram houses Sudarsanar in walking (standing ) posture .. Sudarsanar will not sit before His Lord , Narasimhan . The worship of such joint Murthys are prescribed by PaancharAthra and VakhAnasa Aagamams . Padma Samhithai describes the 16 kinds of Aayudhams in Sudarsanan's 16 hands. ShOdasAyudha SthOthram of Swamy Desikan covers it in the Sundara Simham e-book series refereed to above .Each of the six corners of the Shat KoNa Yanthram has special significance and has chakrAs named after each of them ( Jwaala chakram , Su chakram etc) . KrishNAya Thubhyam Nama: V.Sadagopan ---- Original Message ----- narayanan venkat Dr. Sadagopan Cc: Srirangasri Saturday, January 20, 2007 11:18 AM Queries Hello Vishnu Bhaktas, 1) Would someone know where to find the list of things which the Lord Vishnu/Lord Krishna likes.(such as Songs, Pavhamalli flowers malai ., chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam etc). 2) I am trying to grow Pavhzamalli flower tree by sowing Pavhzamalli seeds. they somehow dont seem to germinate. I got a sapling which got infected by some germs/insects, may be because of inadequate Sunlight. 3) Is Pavhzamalli same as Vanamalee in Vishnu Sahasranamam? 4) Why do they have Lord Narasimha behind Chakrathalwar, when Chakrathalwar is a part of Lord Vishnu and Lord Narasimha is Lord Vishnu himself?
