Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 dear colleagues Many have respondedbut i think a few quotes are inappropriate. KRISHNA DEMANDING FOOD FROM DRAUPATHI HAD TWO reasons1. He wished to chastise Durwasa and 2. to point out to draupadi-the lady of the house that she did not wash the holy ahayapathra properly after use. Similarly Ramanuja throwing the remnants of his meal into the pushkarni -the pushkarni is a holy place and Ramanuja would not have despoiled the same.Further as pointed out by Sridesika the remnants of food eaten by a sanyasi is not to be consumed. Maybe Ramanuja might have fed the fishes with fresh food in a different water area. Sabari had spent several years seving the rishis and certainly would not have tasted the fruits before seving Rama or to anybodyelse. This brings to my mind an act practised by my mother.After the annual srardham the leaves and remnant of food of the swamins was buried by her and not thrown to cattle as practised by many. The cow is revered and should not be served with the uchisttam . dasn narayanan Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
