Ramanuja's philosophy

[Guest guest]

QUESTION)

I would like to know about Bagavad Ramanuja's philosphy on role of women in

doing pooja of the saligrama. If a women in married to a family who are not

srivaishnavas can she still take a saligrama from the parents family and do the

pooja. Your repsonse would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

ANS:

JAI SRIMANNARAYANA SRUTHI!

IT IS ONLY MEN RECOMMENDED TO DO THE SALAGRAMA PUJA, BUT NOT LADIES. THERE IS NO

QUESTION OF SAMPRADAYA. IT IS A COMMON RULE FOR ALL THE SAMPRADAYAS. FOR

SALAGRAMA, SO MANY MANTHRAS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CHANTED, WHICH MAY NOT BE

POSSIBLE TO THEM. THEN, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING PUJA, YOU CAN HAVE

VIGRAHAS LIKE GODA, KRISHNA, RAMA ETC., AND DO THEM WELL. EVEN IF THERE IS AN

UNAVOIDABLE BREAK IN BETWEEN, HERE AND THERE, IT IS ACCEPTABLE.
