Dear Sri Narayanan,

Thanks very much for your reply.

Can women chant sUktam? Which part of the vEdA talks about Temple

Worship? Why I'm asking this question is my godmother asked me "why

should we go to temple? Is it not enough if we think of God for 5

mnts?" I asked her how many times she thinks of God in a day. Even

one mnt concentration(absolute) on Him is difficult. I told her that

it's said in the vEdAs and I'll let her know where it is said. I

tried to give her an example by quoting ganges:"though ganges

originates in gaumukh,nobody brings jalam from there but only PrayAg

b'coz it has story behind it plus so many devotees take bath in

that,similarly temples in places have some historic background and it

has holy properties b'coz so many bhaktas visit temple,which our

house lacks". I gave couple of other examples(common sense)based on

my experience(for example we have radio/electromagentic signals

everywhere but we need a receiver to catch those signals)

I asked because I didn't know the meaning of Desika and I wanted to

know who it refers to. Thanks for telling me the meaning.

What does this "6000ppadi,9000ppadi etc mean"? Sorry to ask such a

dumb question. What does that number mean?(that many vyAkhyAnams?)

 

Best Regards and thanks

dear vaidhehi,

 

This is narashiman from NJ. i think i can answer one

of your many questions.

 

The ubadesarathina maalai itself is the garland of

good thoughts and teachings which are equivalent to

the gem "rathinam" which is the most precious of all

the gems. This is told in the taniyan itself"munam

thiruvaimozhipillai thaam ubadesitta ner thannin

padiyai....".

 

Desikan means aacharyan . this is the most straight

meaning anyone can find. Here swamy

manavaalamaamunigal addresses Swami

thiruvaimozhipillai alias malaiazhwar and swami

pillailokacharyar for their ubadesams and

srivachanabhooshanam respectively in the songs.

 

You can note in ubadesarathinamaalai that no other

azhwar or acharyar including ramanuja himself has got

7 songs except swamy pillailokacharya for his

srivahcanabhooshanam. The next azhwar to get more

songs is periyazhwar for his mangalasasana vaibhavam

and "pongum parivu".

 

I think this mail makes the doubts clear.

Sri:

SrimathE RAmAnujAya nama;

 

Dear Narasimhan,

Thanks for your reply. You have cleared only one doubt!

Small correction. Vaidhehi is my assumed name. My official name is

gita and household name is nappinnai. So you can use any one of the

two(of course I don't mind vaidhehi also,but that's nicknamed by

myself!). Nappinnai is more apt b'coz it refers to thAyAr's name.

So,please all of you address me as nappinnai. Whenever I

write 'nappinnai" I'll be adding puNyams to myself! This is one of

the reason we keep God's name. Atleast that way we will keep calling

Him/Her(these days people keep unique,lousy names)
