Digest Number 1231

[Guest guest]

The Life Sketch of Sri Nampillai and the replies of Nanjeeyar to various doubts

are really clearing identical doubts which arise in the minds of many of us. A

Srivaishnavite had a tenure in Zambia, an African country. Zambia is known for

"Buchi" flies which like to rest in wet cloth dried in the open and after the

clothe are dried the flies still stay there in the clothes. If the clothes are

worn without ironing the flies (which are invisible to the bare eyes) squeeze

into the body and turn in to worms in a week and come out of the body creating

wounds. So, None in Zambia take the risk of wearing the dried clothes without

ironing. The Srivaishnavite was regularly doing the early morning Aaradhanam to

Saalingraama Murthy. He will use the dried clothes, ironed by the servant but

before wearing them, he will put them on the feet of the Lord reciting the

Dwayam and appealing to the Lord to forgive the blemishes and take all his

actions as done only to Please Him. This appears to be in agreement with

Nanjeeyars clarifications about Lord's simplicity, and the superiority of

Dwayam to take us very close to Lord sriman Narayana.

Please continue this noble kainkaryam.

Dear Bhagavathas

 

Adiyen wanted to share my experience in keeping our

cloth washed and clean for our next day's kainkaryam

to Athu Perumal.

 

Adiyen does not have the washing machine and drier in

our apartment in Florida. So I accumulate like my sins

on a bag all the cloths for a week and take them to

the nearby community washer and drier, put them for

cleaning on a friday evening. Come back to home, take

bath and ready to go and change to drier. After

changing to drier will collect (on a cleaned and dried

Plastic Bucket) and pack them on a secluded place so

that every day after taking bath, will go with wet

body and take one of them for that day's Perumal's

Kainkaryam. If the option of washing machine is

available we don't even have to kill those flies. This

suggestion will not work out if that is part of the

cleaning water itself or the washing machine is not

available.

 

Adiyen is very much sure Bhagavatha would have thought

all the possibilities before Ironing. But wanted to

share my experience.
