Relevance of Visnupaadi and the protocol to be followed

[Guest guest]

My dear esteemed members of the group:

 

Sri Guruvayoorappa Sharanam, Sri Krishnaaya Parabrahmane Namaha

 

Tomorrow, Saturday, the 12th of February is the Vishnupadi.

 

Could someone in the group kindly elaborate on the relevance of this

religious observance. I know that Visnupadi is the other name for

Holy Ganga, since she is said to originate from the lords feet (pada

of Vishnu).

 

I was planning on reciting the Vishnusahasranamam, and Narayaneeyam

as usual, and offer a prasadam with love and devotion to the lord. Is

their anything else that would be specific to this observance by the

way of dietary restrictions and/or ritualism that a devotee must

observe in order to experience the complete satisfaction of serving

the lord.

 

Thanks for your responses, I look forward to them,

 

Sincerely,

 

Narasimhan Nagan
