amsha, avesha

[Guest guest]

Dear Haribhakthas,

 

Kindly enlighten me about

 

1) What is the mUlaswarUpa of Lord muKyapraaNa?. Everywhere we see only

icon of Lord Anjeneya in different postures, but not a diffenent icon

to represent shrI muKyapraaNa.

 

2) If I remember correctly shrI AnjanEya and shrI BImasEna are

sometimes referred as 'pavanasutha', 'vaayuputhra' etc. Is this

correct? Then what is the difference between shrI vAyu and shrI

AnjanEya / shrI BImasEna.

 

3)Is there any difference between these three avathaara? If I am

correct, we have icon of Lord mukhyapraaNa as well as shrI AchArya in

Udupi shrI Krishna maTha. But regular and detailed pooja is done only

to shrI muKyapraaNa and not to shrI AchArya. Is there any specific

reason?

 

Pardon me for my ignorance

 

shrI Hari prIyathAm

B.Gopalakrishna
