Namaskara,

 

In line with the request of Shri Pavan Kumar, allow me to put mine also.

 

I have inherited from my father, pratimas and Mrithike Brundavana of Sri

Rayaru. I am doing my daily puja. What I miss is a saligrama. I do not have

one.

 

I have seen and also heard that people have many saligramas with them

without doing any puja. Such people, who do not have time to do puja, may

come forward to atleast donate a saligrama to others. In two houses alone, I

have seen more than 20 saligramas, simply put in a box and kept on a loft.

They praise their possession but do not wish to donate one to others.

 

My main idea of writing this mail is to seek one more thing. The

Mukyaprana pratima, i have is so beautifully carved and ancient, index

finger height. He is alone. I am looking for pratimas of Sri Sita sametha

Ramachandramurthy. If anybody has any idea, please write to me.

 

Sri Krishna,

 

Rao ALG

His worship. Even then, the worship I do is through His grace and not

otherwise. That devotion and the fruits of the actions that come to me are

due to His recurring grace "

If one always practices to do actions with a dedicated spirit to Hari, in

this way, it pleases Vishnu.

Dear Fellow Madhwa-s & Devotees: While on this subject

of shaalagraama-s, I wish to write that many of us

have been in the same quest for collecting

shaalagraama-s from sources where they are

no longer worshipped for many years.

 

It's truly very hard to find families who are willing to

give their shaalagraama-s away, even though they may no

longer be receiving worship. And - in this age, it is

nearly impossible to find genuine visheSha-lakShaNa

shaalagraama-s in Nepal. What is sold in the cities there

are mostly fakes. Further, it's next to impossible to

go safely Damodar Kund to obtain them - particularly now

now that there are so many political problems in Nepal.

Even going to Muktinath is a risk for US Citizens.

 

Indeed there are many families which possess them, do not

offer any worship to them, and yet are not willing to give

them to someone who would.

 

For past many years, I too have been humbly asking everyone

I've met to see if they or anyone they know may have shaalagraamas

which are no longer receiving worship and to pass my

request onto such families to consider passing such shaalagraamas

onwards to a person who would continue to worship them daily.

 

What Shri.Pavankumar & Shri.Rao have written is so true -

worshipping shaalagraama-s gives such an inner joy &

satisfaction that cannot be achieved or experienced elsewhere.

Worshipping them and keeping them in worship in your home only

makes one feel a greater urge to collect more of them for the

same purpose. Those people who have inherited shaalagraamas

from their forefathers are truly very very lucky & Blessed.

 

I pray & humbly also request for any of you out there who

do have shaalagraama-s that are no longer in worship in

their possesion - to kindly consider giving them to individuals

who would be willing to keep them with all due devotion &

affection in daily-prescribed-worship.

 

with best regards, Raghavendra (Washington DC, USA).

Dear Sir,

 

Details about Asta Vasukkal is as follows: These are references from puranas I have read. Visnu Purana and Srimad Bhagavatham. I have mentioned relevant references. I am sure all puranas when they talk about Sristi and Daksha prajapathi, they will mention about AstaVasukkal and their clan.

 

Vishnu puranam (Prathama amsha, adyayam 15) deals with asta vasus and their family in detail.

 

Sloka 108: Daksha got his 10 daughters out of 60, in marriage to Dharma. Among them second wife is Vasu. From Vasu asta vasu's were born.

Ye twanekavasupranadevaa jyotihi purogamaaha|

vasavoostou samakhyaatasteshaam vakshyami vistaram || (111)

 

Including jyothi, tejas and balam for them adidevatas are astavasus.

 

Aapo dhruvascha somscha dharmaschaivaaniloonalaha|

pratyooshascha prabhasascha vasavo namabhihi smrutaha|| (112)

 

Apa (Jala/liquid) tatvam, Dhruva (Prithvi tatvam, solid), Soma (The moon), Dharma, Anila ( Vayu tatwam), anala ( Agni tatwam), Pratyusha (The recurring dawn: the sun, lagna) and Prabhasa ( Splendorous lights of the stars ) are astavasus

 

112-120 slokams deals with vamsham of astavasukkal - Let me know if you need these slokams too.

Vaitanda, shrama, shaanta, dwani are childrens of Aapa.

One who can take over the world, bhagavan Kala is Dhruva's son.

Varchas is Soma's son. Because of him manavas become varchasvi.

Dharma's wife is Manohare. And to them Dravina, Hutahavyavaha, Shishira, Praana, and Varuna were born.

Anila's wife is shivaa. His sons are Manojava, Avignaatagati.

Anala's son Kumara was born on (medepullu). His younger brothers are Shakha, Vishakha, Naigameya.

Krithike had agniputra Kaarthikeya (Krithike's adopted son is Karthikeya who is son of Shiva and Parvathi).

Pratyusha's son is called Devalarishi. Devala had 2 sons who had attributes of kshama and vidwat.

Brihaspatji sister Varastri was brahmacharini and yogini who had anasaktabhavam and she used to travel all over the world. Atlast she got married to 8th vasu Prabhasa. Through her Viswakarma prajapathi was born. He is the daivashilpi. He had four sons Ajsikapath, Ahirbudhnya, Twastru and Rudra. Among them Twastru had Vishwaroopa who was tapaswi.

 

Chapter 6 in 6th skanda from Srimad Bhagavatham also while describing Dhaksha prajapathi's 60 daughters clan deals with Astavasus as follows:

 

Sloka 10:

Sankalpayascha sankapaha kamaha sankalpajaha smrutaha|

Vasavostou vasoho putrasteshaam namaani me shrunu||

 

Sankalpe's son is Sankalpa. His son was Kaama. Vasu's son's are Astavasu's. Their names are as follows:

 

Sloka 11:

Dronaha Pranoo Druvooarkoognirdoshoo Vasurvibhavasuhu|

Dronasyabhimatehe patnaa harshashokabhayaadayaha||

 

Drona, Praana, Dhruva, Arka, Agni, Dosha, Vasu and Vibhavasu are astavasus. Among them through Drona's wife Abhimati Harsha, Shoka, Bhaya abhimani devatas were born.

 

Sloka 12:

Pranasyorjaswatee bharya saha aayuhu purojavaha|

Dhruvasya bharyaa dharanirasoota vividhaaha puraha||

 

Through Prana's wife Urjaswati, Saha, Aayu, and Purojava, three sons were born. Through Dhruva's wife Dharani lot of nagara abhimani devatas were born.

 

Sloka 13:

Arkasya vaasanaa bhaarya putrastarshaadayaha smrutaaha|

Agnerbhaaryaa vasordhaara putraa dravinakaadayaha||

 

Arka through his wife Vaasana got Tarsha (Trushnaa) and other sons. Agni's wife Dharadevi had Dharavinaka and other sons.

 

Sloka 14:

Skandascha Krithikaaputroo ye vishakaadayastataha|

Doshasya sharvareeputraha shishumaaro harehe kalaa||

 

Krithika's son was Skanda, through Agni only he was born. Through him Vishakaa and others were born. Through Dhosha's wife Sharvari Shishumaara was born which was perumal's kalavathara.

 

Sloka 15:

Vasooraangiraseeputro Vishwakarmaa kruteepathihi|

Tatoo manuschakshushoobhodwishwe sadhyaa manoho sutaha||

 

Through Vasu's wife Angirasi, Shilpakala's adipathi Vishwakarma incarnated. Through Vishwakarma's wife Krithike Chakshusha manu was born and to him Vishvedeeva and Sadhyaganas became sons.

 

Sloka 16:

Vibhavasorasootoshaa vyustam rochishamaatapam|

panchayamotha bhotaani yena jaagrati karmasu||

 

Vibhava vasu's wife was Ushalzhi. And to them Vyushta, Roshish, Aatapa were born. Among them Atapa had Panchayaama (Dinam) as his son. Due to Panchayaama only in this lokam all people are involved in their own tasks.

According to : Satapatha Brahmana (a Brahmana of Yajurveda compiled by the sage Yajnavalkya),

 

Katame Vasava utu, Agnischa prithvi cha vayusch-antarikshamchaadityascha dyouschachandramascha nakshatrani chaite Vasava aeteshu hidam sarva vasu hitam aete hidam sarvevasayante taddyadidam sarve vasayante tasmad Vasava iti.

 

Eight vasus are 1) Agni 2) Prithvi 3) Vayu 4) Antariksha 5) Aditya 6) Dyou 7) Chandrama and 8) Naksatra.These eight form the primary source of enlightenment about the self.

In the prathama amsha of Vishnu purana Brahma also addresses Sriman Narayana as astavasu's

Madam,adiyen dasasya vignaapanam. Your detailed reply has made me to second the opinion of sri Mukund asking you to learn Tamil. You can within weeks. Adiyen's sincere thanks to Sri Ayyasamy Rajan as his request made us all to realise your level of scholorship and deep knowledge of our Samprathayam.

  And I am surprised to get replies from you within seconds of my mails posted to you. Great!Adiyen,Dasan,Thiruppathi RaguveeradayalC/O SRIRANGAM SRIMAD ANDAVAN ASHRAMAM,THIRUPPULLANI 623532

Dear all,

 

I have been making effort to learn and I shall definitely continue that effort. I myself have a desire to learn tamil so that I can read Tiruvaimozhi and other works in tamil and dip in devotion with them. Right now I read Tamil through Kannada. Everything is perumal's sankalpam and I am just nimitham.

Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya ||
