Madi Vastrham etc

Shree Bhoomi Neela Sametha Shree Lakshmi Nrusimha Parabramneya Namaha:

Shrimathey Shrivan Satakopa Shree vedantha Desika Yateendra Maha

Desikaaya Namaha.

 

Dear Shri R.Venkat

 

Adiyen humbly feel that " Shudhi " cannot be obsrved anywhere outside

India (for that matter even here in India too particulary in Chennai)..

 

The situation here is no better than that in UAE.

 

Many of us here claim to be vaideekas but believe adiyen ....it is not

so... Let us not adiyen not dwell in to that.

 

Adiyen humbly believe that a " gruhasthan " must always wear Kacham and

Gruhasthas must defer from wearing a " Thatti " veshti (4/8 Muzham Veshti)

please.Insist on that please.

 

If dheval is really particular in practising such anushtaanaams but find

it very difficult in places like UAE follwoing may throw some light.

 

1) One can do Mantra Snaanam atleast if not a proper snaanam.... ..

 

2) If one cannot wear a " madi " veshti you can sprinkle (do prokshanam)

with Pranavam + Bhoor + Bhuva Svaha On the vasthram and wear Proper

Pancha Kacham.. ...Or wear a " Pattu veshti " ...(Change to another

veshti/dress after you finish your anushtanam and particulary while you

eat).

Dont wash your " pattu " veshti.

 

3) You can do Sroutha Aaachamana atleast (touching the tip of your nose

and right ear) if you think doing aachamanam takes a little bit of time.

 

There are many such things one can do..

 

Refer to Idhaaneem azhagia Singars's Sree Vaishnava Sadhaachaara Nirnaya

... and browse through .. you will very often and frequently stumble upon

many procedures and anushtaanams that can suit us anywhere.

 

Remember none of the above is useful if one doesnt perform

Sandhyaavandhanam.

 

Atleast recite/meditateupon (the whole of sandhyaavandhanaa mantras and

procdures) if you cant find water/place to do sandhya.(while travelling

especially)..

 

If the above is not acceptable perhaps Vidwans and Parama Vaideekas can

come up with Noodhana Sandhyaa vandhaanam and Noodhana Sri Vaishnava

Karmaanushtaanam and Sudhis... considering the plight of many..

 

Shree Dharmmam is not followed rigidly by many sri vaishnava women

themselves.. We must be happy that atleast they wear " pottu " instead of

wearing " paravai or animal or Kathi or Kabada or Kelvi kuri " (latest

modern trend) to sanndihi.

 

Kumkumam is mostly worn as " pottu " and it is not really wrong wearing it

as a " pottu " though they are advised and suggested to wear " Aaandaal

Thiruman " .
