Adiyen often confuses on doing nitya and naimittika karmas what should be followed in day to day life. Could any learned bhagavata enlighten adiyen what are the Nitya, Naimittika & Kamya Karmas(if any) in detail after performing prapatti for a sudra? Please forgive adiyen if any mistakes.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nithya karma is that prescribed as the on to be done always like sandhya vandhanam , worship of God etc which are done daily, nithya. Naimitthika is the one doneoccasionally like the sraddha,pumsavan, aayushhomaetc. nimittha means a purpose or cause kamya karma is that done wth a desire, kama like puthrakameeshti yaga kubera pooja etc. saroja ramanujam Dr. Saroja Ramanujam, M.A., Ph.D, Siromani in sanskrit. www.freewebs.com/asrama3 http://www.geocities.com/sarojram18 --- On Thu, 3/12/09, Balaji Ramanuja Dasa <sri.bhakti wrote: Balaji Ramanuja Dasa <sri.bhakti Regarding Nitya & Naimittika karmas"Ponnappan" <oppiliappan >Thursday, March 12, 2009, 7:52 PM SrI:SrImathE Ramanujaya Nama: Dear Bhagavatas, Adiyens saashtaanga pranamams.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Swamin, It is a big subject which cannot be covered in an e-mail, i believe. In short I can say is that Nitya karmas for a fourth category person are doiing prayer while rising from bed, taking bath, wearing sudha vastram, wearing thiruman kappu, doing puja, reciting stotras, learning sampradaya matters, etc. These are to be done every day and hence are called nitya karmas. Naimittika karmas are those karmas that are to be done on prescribed days. Examples are observing Ekadasi prescriptions, Amavasya prescriptions, Shradh prescriptions etc. Kamya karmas are the karmas that we do ourselves, like sumangali prarthanai, Saturday upavasam, Sravana upavasam, etc. Hope this clarifies the basics.
