Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 QUESTION) Why the restrictions till one year after one's father died? As a vishnavite, when i can enter into temple and eligible to perform pooja ? Please forgive me if i asked an irrilevant question? Venkata Subbaiah ANS: PRIYA SRIMAN SUBBAIAHJI! JAI SRIMANNARAYANA! FOR VAISHNAVITES, ONE YEAR RESTRICTION IS NOT THERE TO DO THE PUJA, WHICH IS A REGULAR ACTIVITY, AFTER DEMISE OF PARENTS. FINISHING THE PARAMA PADO:TSAVAM WITH 'IYAL GOSTI' ON 13TH DAY, CLEARS THE 'A:SOUCHAM' AND MAKES ELIGIBAL FOR NITYA KARMA. PUJA IS ALSO ONE AMONG NITYA KARMAS. SO IT HAS TO BE DONE. EVEN IF IT IS A TEMPLE, ONE CAN GO FOR DARSAMAN AND FOR SELF PUJA, IF HE IS A PUJARI. KALYANAS AND SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS SHOULD NOT BE DONE. EVEN THAT IS TO SHOW ONE'S SORROW ONLY. BUT, FOR NON VAISHNAVITES, THEY DO NOT DO THE PARAMA PADOTSAVAM, 1YEAR A:SOUCHAM WILL BE THERE, SO THEY CANNOT GO TO TEMPLE AND DO THE PUJA. =Chinnajeeyar= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
