Can we put LIVING ACHARYA PHOTO in daily POOJA and offer flowers

October 30, 2008

Sreeman Peesapati VVS Chari garu

You can put the photo of your " Acharya " along with other deities and

also you can offer flowers at the lotus feet of " Acharya " {SriSriSri

Ramanuja China Jeeyar Swamy} without any hesitation. You may be seeing

while we are doing Pada Puja of Swamyjee we wash his lotus feet and put

flowers at his feet. He is our living GOD , as he is liaison between GOD

and ourselves and deserves all sorts of pujas what we do them to LORD.

Sincerely

Nrusimha Charya.

minutes (less than ten minutes) before lord, put flowers, a little

sndyavandanam and few slokas of Vishnu sahasram. I GAIN DIVINE SPELL AND

STRENGTH and my day starts good.

EXTENDED WITHOUT HESITATION TO MY LIVING ACHARYA.

Sri:Srimathe ramuanujaya nama:Dear Sriman P V V S ChariAdiyen is stating our poorvacharya's views on this. So, please take no offense, it is just reality from our acharya's perspective.>>> I have put the photo painting of my ACHARYA (Thridandi Chinna jeeyar

swamy) in my daily pooja along with all other dieties - >>> Ganesha,

Lakshmi, Sri Ranganatha, Andal, Meenakshi and different pooja books.Our Acharya is considered as equal or even above Perumal. So, it is quite proper to worship him along with other deities.But, it is not considered proper to bring in anya devatas (meenakshi, ganesha, etc). Actually according to our poorvacharyas, sastra (gita, rahasya granthams) it is a bhagavat apacharam (offense against perumal) to treat any other devata equal or higher than him. For better guidance, please get proper instructions from your own acharya/elders.adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan

My acharya I respect him on par with my daily Perumal. I sit only few minutes (less than ten minutes) before lord, put flowers, a little sndyavandanam and few slokas of Vishnu sahasram. I GAIN DIVINE SPELL AND STRENGTH and my day starts good.

The confusion I have is whether, I can put flowers before the lotus feet of my Acharya, who is living and inspiring us with divine messages to enrich my life.
