Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 QUESTION) Dear Swamiji, Pranams! I have a question about Lord Venkateswara. Alamelumanga Tayaru is shown on the right side of the Lord in all publications of TTD, whereas all our Gods have their consort on the left side. Why is it so? Kindly clarify. Namaste! Siva Prasad ANS: IF NOT ALL THE ACTIVITIES, ATLEAST, WHAT TTD IS DOING IN PRINTING THE CONSORT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LORD IS RIGHT. IN ALL THE TRADITIONAL TEMPLES AND ALSO IN ALL THE TRADITIONAL HOUSES, LADIES ARE PLACED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HUSBAND ONLY. NOT ON THE LEFT SIDE AT ALL. FOR THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MALE IS AUSPICES TO HIM AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LADY IS AUSPICES TO HER. ALWAYS, EVERYBODY WANTS THAT HIS OR HER BETTER HALF SHOULD BE ON THE AUSPICES SIDE ONLY. THEN, MALE SHOULD COME ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LADY AND LADY SHOULD COME ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MALE. DHARMA SASTHRAS RECOMMEND THIS SYSTEM ONLY. IN SRIVAISHNAVA SAMPRADAYAM, ALL SECTIONS OF THE SOCIETY FOLLOW THIS TRADITION ONLY. =Chinnajeeyar= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
