Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 |om| Dear Narasimha, namaste & pranaams Yesterday evening, for a possible Krishna Chaturdasi birth the same day (which now changes to an Amavasya birth making it the third Amavasya case that I have looked at in less than two months time!), I was looking at the verses from BPHS dealing with this topic. My question is why did Maharishi Parasara go so much into the details of making the Shiva idol? He has specified that the idol should have a crescent moon on the forehead, a white garland around the neck, seated on a bull and with hands in varada & abhaya mudras. Is there any hidden meaning here? When comparing the translation of these verses, I felt there was some difference in the procedures. As per my understanding, the procedure starts like this:- Mrityunjaya mantra --> Varuna pooja --> installation of kalasha in south-east corner with mantras ---> some A nobhedra...suktam, Agni suktam ---> Purusha suktam followed by Rudrabhishekam ---> Graha puja involving homam with appropriate woods / sesame seeds ---> sprinking of abhisheka water on baby & parents ---> feeding of brahmin. Is this understanding correct? If not, please shed some light on the exact components of the krishna chaturdasi remedy. best regards Hari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
