Rupa Ramanuja Dasi. ANS: "bho:gam" means 'enjoying divine joy'. A day giving that eternal joy, is named after "bho:gi". Go:da performed dhanurma:sa for 30 days. Having pleased, Lord Ranganattha sent all His subjects and invited Go:da de:vi, to Srirangam. Amidst all the devotees etc., marriage celebration was done. Goda went into the sanctum and joined Lord Ranganattha, experiencing His divine qualities, she was blessed with that "bho:gam". Hence that day became "bho:gi". =Chinnajeeyar= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
