Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Sri: Dear Bhagavatas pranamams, I request learned bhagavatas to clarify the following doubts I am having. 1. During achamanam why is that only achuta, ananta and govinda namas are chanted? Any special significance to these names in this regard? why not others? 2. During Urdhvapundra dharana we chant Kesava namam and put tiruman on the forhead. Where as in the achamanam we touch the right cheek for kesava namam. So my doubt is why and how 2 different places for the same namam? 3. Saranagata at the end of this birth surely reachs sri:pati. Then what is the significance/necessity of during pitru tarpanam for such soul? 4. I have read the story of a sage who after eating meat says " Jeernam Jeernam Vatapi Jeernam " . How is that a sage ate non-veg? Also I heard that eating of non-veg is not condemned in vedam. Is it true? If so, why now non-veg is prohibited? 5. I heard that Samithadanam is also a nithya karma. What is the significance of Samithadanam? Please pardon me if I have asked any thing wrong and unwanted. Some of them were in my mind for quite sometime and others arised oflate. with narayana smaranams, Gopi. ------------ http://mail.indiainfo.com India's first ISO certified portal Check world time at http://time.indiainfo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
