Q - sandhya vandanam & Vasudeva

[Guest guest]

QUESTION)

I have a few questions on Madhyahnikam (Noon sandhya prayers).

1. The noon arghya pradanam is done facing north. Should the Prayaschitta

arghyam also be done facing north or east?

2. Should Aikyanusandhanam at noon be done facing north or east?

3. Should the Pranava Japa (starting with Pranavasya rishi brahma) at noon be

done facing north or east? Thank you. regards, rohit

 

ANS:

jai srimannarayana Rohit!

 

* MORNING SANDHYA SHOULD BE DONE FACING EAST.

 

* NOON SANDHYA ALSO SHOULD BE DONE FACING EAST ONLY. RIGHT FROM

BEGINNING TO THE END. NO NORTH BUSINESS.

 

* WHEREAS IN EVENING SANDHYA VANDHANAM THERE ARE SOME CHANGES.

 

* UPTO ARGHYA PRADA:NAM, IT SHOULD BE DONE FACING NORTH.

 

* STARTING FROM ARGHYA PRADA:NAM IT SHOULD BE DONE, FACING WEST.

 

* BUT, WHILE DOING A:CHAMANAM IN BETWEEN, IT SHOULD BE DONE FACING

NORTH ONLY, FOR, DOING A:CHAMANAM FACING WEST IS PROHIBITED.

QUEATION)

Dear all, I heard vasudeva is supreme of all demi gods.is vasudeva lord

krishna?.i heard for each loka there will be three vushnus,for all these

vishus krishna is the origin,is it coorect ? please give me detailed

description."dhanyavad" in advance.

 

 

ANS: PRIYA SRIMAN GANGADHAR REDDYJI!

 

JAI SRIMANNARAYANA!

 

THE DESCRIPTION YOU HAVE SEEN, MUST BE FROM ISCON BOOKS. THEY FEEL THAT KRISHNA

IS THE ORIGIN TO ALL THE INCARNATIONS. FROM HIM ONLY EVERYTHING CAME. WE ACCEPT

IT THOUGH, FOR LORD KRISHNA IS NONE ELSE THAN LORD NARAYANA HIMSELF, YET, HE IS

ONLY ONE AVATHA:RA AMONG MANY. THAT HAS BEEN VERY CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN SRIMAD

BHAGAVATHAM. THE DIFFERENCE IS, IN OTHER AVATHA:RAS, LORD CHOSE ONLY A FEW

QUALITIES FOR HIS ACTIVITIES, WHEREAS IN KRISHNA AVATHA:RA, HE APPEARED WITH

MANY OF HIS DIVINE QUALITIES. AND ALSO, THE QUALITIES OF ALL AVATHA:RAS ARE SEEN

THERE. THAT IS WHY, KRISHNA AVATHA:RA IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE "PARIPU:RNA

AVATHA:RA".

 

THE LORD SUPREME IS NO DOUBT NAMED AFTER 'VA:SUDE:VA' ALSO. THERE ARE MANY OTHER

NAMES IN THOUSANDS TO THE LORD SUPREME. ACCORDING TO VEDAS THE NAME GIVEN TO HIM

IS 'SRIMAN NARAYANA' OR 'VISHNU' OR 'PARAMAM PADAM'

 

THE NAME 'VA:SUDE:VA' GIVEN TO KRISHNA BECAUSE HE IS THE SON OF 'VASUDE:VA'.

 

LORD SUPREME, HAVING THE NAME AS 'VA:SUDE:VA' IS VERY MEANINGFUL AND ALSO FIXED

ON HIM. VAS=EXISTS, DIV=SHINES. ONE WHO EXISTS EVERYWHERE AND EFFULGENT, IN

OTHER WORDS, OMNI-PRESENT WITH HIS GRACE IS 'VA:SUDE:VA'. THIS NAME IS ALSO SEEN

WITH 1)THE LORD IN HIS PRIMERY ABODE, THE PARAMAPADAM, & 2)THE FIRST ONE AMONG

THE FOUR PLANNING ABODES, THE FOUR VYU:HAS.

 

PARAMAPADAM, VYU:HAM AND KRISHNA AVATHA:RA, ALL THESE 3 ARE VYAKTHA RU:PAS OF

VA:SUDE:VA, i.e., FORMS THAT ARE VISIBLE. BUT THE NAME 'VA:SUDE:VA' THE ALL

PERVASIVE, EVER EFFULGENT IS THERE WITH THE FORM OF THE LORD THAT CANNOT BE SEEN

BY ANYBODY 'AVYAKTHA'. THIS FORM ALSO WAS SHOWN TO ARJUNA IN HIM VISWA RU:PA

SANDARSANA IN 11 TH CHAPTER OF BHAGAVAD GITHA. NO BEGINNING NOR ENDING TO THAT

FORM.

 

THAT NAME, IF AT ALL GIVEN TO THE SUPREME SHOULD BE LIKE 'NA:RA:YANA'. THAT IS

WHAT MENTIONED IN PURA:NAS AND UPANISHADS.
