Guest guest Posted January 3, 1999 Report Share Posted January 3, 1999 SRI VISNOR VAISNAVANANCA PAVANAM CARANO DAKAM SARVA TIRTHA MAYAM PITVA KURYAD ACAMANAM NA HI (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 9/91 AGASTYA SAMHITA) The water which has washed the feet of Lord Visnu and Vaisnavas (real devotees) is equal to all the places of pilgrimage together. After drinking such water, one does not have to take any acamana or to wash his hands or mouth. VISNOH PADODAKAM PITAVA PASCAD ASUCI SANKAYA ACAMATI CA YO MOHAD BRAHMAHA SA NIGADYATE (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 9/92 SKANDA PURANA spoken by Lord Siva) Lord Siva says, " Any person, due to bewilderment, after drinking water emminated from Lord Visnu, thinking that he has become unclean, he washes his mouth, he becomes the killer of a brahmana. BHAGAVAN PAVITRAM BHAGAVAT PADAU PAVITRAM, BHAGAVAT PADODAKAM PAVITRAM, NA TAT PANA ACAMANIYAM. YATHAHI SOMA ITI. (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 9/93 from SRUTI SASTRA) The Supreme Personality of Godhead is all pure. His two lotus feet are all pure and water emminated from them is all pure, therefore, after drinking that water emminated from Him, one should not take any acamana because it is a best as soma. VISNU PADODAKAM PITVA BHAKTA PADODAKAM TATHA YA ACAMATI SAMMOHAD BRAHMAHA SA NIGADYATE (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 9/94 SAUPARNA SANHITA) If due to bewilderment, somebody washes his hands after drinking water which has emminated from the lotus feet of Lord Visnu or of His devotee, he becomes the killer of a brahmana. These instructions for sure are not karma-kanda. Anyone likes to comment? Can we just wipe the hands with a cloth after taking caranamrta?
