Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Namo Narayana I have 2 queries. 1. Is it that tulasi should not be taken on Ekadasi? If yes, why? 2. While doing Ashtakshari japam . What are the pre requisites. ie Is it only after a bath and at a fixed place. Please elaborate. It may be a rather basic question , but I want to be clear before explaining to some other person. Learned members, please clarify. ramanuja dasi ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 SrI: Dear Yamini : On EkAdasi days , which are known a sVishNu Subha Dinams , TuLasi MaathA is visualized also of having Her UpavAsam and hence it is customary not to pick TuLasi on these days . This is a traditon followed by our elders and handed down .You wont find anything written as PramANams easily . AshtAkshara Mantra Japam for the initiated is done after Morning bath and worship by ladies in front of the KOil AzhwAr or PerumAL vigraham or Photo quitely for any amount ranging from 10 or 28 or 108 . For men , who are initiated , in the Ahobila matam SamprahdAyam , it is done after Morning SandhyA Vandhanam and before AarAdhanam . The ladies will use the special form of PraNavam according to the UpadEsam that they recieved for AshtAkshara Mantra upadEsam . Those who have not been initiated can just recite NamO NaarAyaNAya without PraNavam .
