Dear Sri Bharat :

 

It is one of the 24 Ekadasis in a year . In leap years , there are two more

EkAdasis . Pari is a prefix to adverbs and nouns ,which mean very much.

Vardhini means increasing .

 

There is plenty of literature on the names of EkAdasi , its observance in

the Internet archives .Have a google search and you will get abundant information .

Respected Sir,

 

Even earlier i had sought the learned counsel of the moderator and other knowledgable members on my following 2 queries:

 

(i) Is it true that when someone attains Paramapadam during the Mahalaya Paksha, he is guaranteed of Moksha and is a permanent nivasi at the lotus feet of Sriman Narayanan &

 

(ii)Whether it is essential to perform punyavajanam before Hiranya Shrrardham( I ask this as our vadyar says it is to be performed only for the Shrrardham, while adiyen fels that it is an intrinsic part).

 

Eagerly awaiting your response.

 

Humble Regards

Bharat.

Dear Sri Bharat IyengAr:

 

MahALaya Paksham has no special significance to Moksham , if one

shakes off the mortal coils during that time . It is Pithru Kaaryam .

 

For a Prapanna , the time of the day or night or period of the year has no

significance as it comes to travel to Moksham via archirAdhi Maargam .

 

PuNyAvAchanam is done for purifying the site for Vaidhika KarmAs .

HiraNya Sraddham is done many times at the temples . With the Saannidhyam

of the Lord , there is no need for PuNyAvachanam there. If it is done , for full

mental satisfaction , PuNyAvachanam can be done .

 

At temples , for Vaidhika KarmAs like PavithrOthsavam , SamprOkshaNam ,

Sri VaasudEva PuNyAvachanam is done .

Respected Sir,

 

Adiyen performs the Hiranya shhrdham at his graham only. In that case what will be the applicability of the Punyavachanam?You have mentioned Sri Vasudeva Punyavachanam, kindly expalin its significance. Also are there other Punyavachanams which are performed for diferent occassions.Kindly enlighten me.

 

Also in case of patients who leave the world either in comatose state or under heavy medications,such persons are not physically able to Chant SrInAmAm.How would the lord accept such less fortunate and physically constarined bhaktas of his.

Dear Sri Bharat IyengAr:

If you are performing HiraNya Sraddham at home and are

inviting Pithrus , You can be in a preparatory mood at home

ther is no harm in doing the PunyAvAchanam . Many overseas residents

go to a Temple to do HiraNya Sraddham by the priests .

 

VaasudEva PuNyavaachanam is sanctioned by

the Aagamas for temple ceremonies and is elaborate . I wont be able to describe

it here . Please attend a PavithrOthsavam doen every year at different VaishNavite

Temples . Perhaps Sri Vaasu VaadhyAr can comment on this topic on his return

to his seat as Moderator .

 

When one is in comotose state prior to departure from here , Prabhandha and

SthOthra PaarAyaNams are done . Sri Rudran is said to chant Raama Taaraka

( Poshaka ) Naamam in to their ears at Kaasi Kshethram if the death happens there .

Anthima smruthi ( the need for or otherwise ) has been debated by our AchAryAs .

Sri VarAha Charama slOkam is a classic example of " appOthaikkippOthE Solli vaitthen "

to anticipate one's inability to hold the memory of ythe Lord during the terse last

moments , when one is incapacitated .

 

That is a big subject .

Hello Shri Bharat !

 

Though the question is addressed to Shri. Sadagopan, i take the privilege to reply your

e-mail.

 

The following text contains all three Charama Slokams & their brief meanings. The esoteric meanings can be acquired through kalakshepams or upanyasams by renowned authorities.

 

You may note that VarAha Charama SlOkam gives the essential reply to your doubt as pointed out by Shri. Sadagopan swami about people who are not able to do Narayana smaranai in their last days or moments.

Varaha Charama slOkam revealed to BhUmi Devi:

**********************************************

sTithE manasi susvasTE sarIrE sathi yO nara:dhAthusAmyE sTithE smarthA visvaroopam cha maamajam (1)

tatastham mriyamANam thu kAshDapAashana sannibhamaham smarAmi madhbhaktham nayaami paramAm gathim (2)

(Meaning): This whole world is my body. I have no birth or death .When devotee of Mine maintains his mind in an auspicious state , his body in he healthy state-- where the dhAthus of the body are in equipoise-- and hinks of Me in that state and seeks Me then as his firm refuge , I do one thing unique for that devotee , when he is totally unconscious like a log or stone duirng his last moments. At that time, I lead him ia archirAdhi mArgam to My Supreme abode to perform nithya kaimkaryam for Me there. This is My unfailing assurance .

SrI Raamachandra Charama SlOkam*********************************

sakruthEva prapannAya tavAsMIthi cha yAchathEabhayam sarvabhUthEbhyO dadhAmEyathath vratham Mama--Yuddha KaaNDam:18-33

(Meaning): I vouch safe protection against all living beings to him , who seeks that protection even only once from Me stating "I am Yours". To protect him without fail is My vow.

KrishNa Charama slOkam***************************

Sarva dharmAn Parithyajya MaamEkam SaraNam vrajaAham Thva Sarva paapEpbhyO mokshayishyAmi maa sucha:--Bhagavath Gita : 18.66

(meaning) Totally relinquishing all dharmAs (completely relinquishing the sense of agency , posssessiveness and fruits of actions) , seek Me alone as Your refuge. I will free You from all sins .Grieve not.

Jai Sriman Narayana !

Adiyen,

Deepa Balaji.

Respected Sir,

 

Adiyen performs the Hiranya shhrdham at his graham only. In that case what will be the applicability of the Punyavachanam?You have mentioned Sri Vasudeva Punyavachanam, kindly expalin its significance. Also are there other Punyavachanams which are performed for diferent occassions.Kindly enlighten me.

 

Also in case of patients who leave the world either in comatose state or under heavy medications,such persons are not physically able to Chant SrInAmAm.How would the lord accept such less fortunate and physically constarined bhaktas of his.

Respected Sir,

 

Even earlier i had sought the learned counsel of the moderator and other knowledgable members on my following 2 queries:

 

(i) Is it true that when someone attains Paramapadam during the Mahalaya Paksha, he is guaranteed of Moksha and is a permanent nivasi at the lotus feet of Sriman Narayanan &

 

(ii)Whether it is essential to perform punyavajanam before Hiranya Shrrardham( I ask this as our vadyar says it is to be performed only for the Shrrardham, while adiyen fels that it is an intrinsic part).

 

Eagerly awaiting your response.

 

Humble Regards

Bharat.

Hello Shri Bharat !

 

Though the question is addressed to Shri. Sadagopan, i take the privilege to reply your

e-mail.

 

The following text contains all three Charama Slokams & their brief meanings. The esoteric meanings can be acquired through kalakshepams or upanyasams by renowned authorities.

 

You may note that VarAha Charama SlOkam gives the essential reply to your doubt as pointed out by Shri. Sadagopan swami about people who are not able to do Narayana smaranai in their last days or moments.

Varaha Charama slOkam revealed to BhUmi Devi:

**********************************************

sTithE manasi susvasTE sarIrE sathi yO nara:dhAthusAmyE sTithE smarthA visvaroopam cha maamajam (1)

tatastham mriyamANam thu kAshDapAashana sannibhamaham smarAmi madhbhaktham nayaami paramAm gathim (2)

(Meaning): This whole world is my body. I have no birth or death .When devotee of Mine maintains his mind in an auspicious state , his body in he healthy state-- where the dhAthus of the body are in equipoise-- and hinks of Me in that state and seeks Me then as his firm refuge , I do one thing unique for that devotee , when he is totally unconscious like a log or stone duirng his last moments. At that time, I lead him ia archirAdhi mArgam to My Supreme abode to perform nithya kaimkaryam for Me there. This is My unfailing assurance .

SrI Raamachandra Charama SlOkam*********************************

Sri Vasudheva PuNyAhavAchanam is performed mainly in temples as per

Agama sAstras.

For a PrapannA " anthima smruthi " is not required, nor the UttarAyana

kAla rule will apply. That's why for people who are in the death bed,

Aapath Prabhatthi is requsted by the dear and near from the Acharyaa.
