Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 sri: srimathe ramanujaya namaha srimathe nigamantha maha desikaya namaha Dear Bhaktas, adiyen was blessed to listen to the tele-upanyasam od U.Ve.Dr.N.S.Anantha Rangachar(NSA). Sri NSA and Sri NSA's brother Sri Karyam of Poundareekapuram Ashramam in Bangalore U.Ve.Dr.Anantha Narasimhachar (Kittu Vaadyar) is very well know to our family. I have one small question which I was a bit late in posting to the forum during the tele-upanyasam. Swami NSA mentions about the demerits of kamyakarmam. PutrakamEsthi yagam is a sort of kamyakarmam. In Srimad Ramayanam Dasharathar performs PutrakamEsthi yagam. How is the event explained on a vaidika stand? Smt.Radha Rangarajan had answered my question, but my PC Phone got cut off by the time I could listen to her answer. I would be glad to get this naieve doubt of mine clarified. Thanks and Regards, daasan Malolan Get email at your own domain with Mail. http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Putrakameshti yagam is kamya karma. kamya karma is not nishiddha or denied in the shastras. but kamya karma will not help in attainment of spiritual perfection. One has to experience the good or bad effects of kamya karma and then only work for spiritual perfection. Dasharatha was not looking for moksha. He was looking for a person to take care of his kingdom. Hence he wanted a son to take care of it. It is perfectly fine that he did it. What is wrong when he is not looking for moksha. In fact Smt. Radharangarajan pointed out that Dasharatha went to svarga after death (not moksha) as per Ramayana. That is fine. for us who are only interested in moksha, we should be careful to avoid kamyakarma since it is useless in helping us attain moksha. adiyen Krishna Malolan Cadambi [mcadambi] Monday, January 15, 2001 3:36 PM bhakti-list ; Dr.N.S.Anatha Rangachar's Tele-Upanyasam sri: srimathe ramanujaya namaha srimathe nigamantha maha desikaya namaha Dear Bhaktas, adiyen was blessed to listen to the tele-upanyasam od U.Ve.Dr.N.S.Anantha Rangachar(NSA).

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Swamy Deshikan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam Dear Sriman Malolan Kadambi, Sriman Dr. NSA swamy (adiyEn's grand father) has given the following reply to your query on putra kAmeshti yAgam: " PutrakamEshti is a particular kind of sacrifice performed combined with the performance of the horse sacrifice(ashwamEdha). PutrakamEshti and AshwamEdha are both kAmyakarmas only. AshvamEdha yagins do not attain moksha. In brihadAraNyaka a question is asked to Yagnavalkya (where does an Ashwamedha Yagin go ?) and he assigns a place to them, but it is not communion with god. Attaining moksha thru Ahwamedha as mentioned in Sruthi is just a prashamsa vakya. Dasharatha did Putrakameshti and Rama was born but Dasharatha did not realise that Sri Rama was God himself. Hence Dasharatha did not go to Moksha but only Swarga. " Thanks to Sriman Narasimhan (Dr. NSA's son) for forwarding this reply. Sriman Narasimhan wrote - >> I passed on this message to my father and he was very happy >> to see the positive response. He asked me to convey this to >> you that he was quite impressed by the large audience and >> their high level of interest in philosophy. dasan, Balaji (Rajiv) SIEMENS vAzhi vyAkhyAmuddirak kai !!!
