[Vaideekam] PANCHA KAVYAM

[Guest guest]

Dear swamin

I agree that we should not doubt and question the sastras and their

dictats.

At the same time, if science unveils the goodness of certain practices,

they should be highlighted to the world to tell the importance and

relevance of our Sastras in today's world.

All will be good, if we have only a minority that looks down on us.

In the interest of our own people, it is preferable to answer certain

doubts for which Science has provided some supportive answers. Take

them as fourth level of proof and ignore them when they contradict like

we do in the case of secondary and tertiary level of proofs (ithihaasaas

and puraanaas).

I accept your points also.

 

If we start telling and discussing reasons in this group,

that will take much time and much volume of this group

moderators and resources, who already have tight schedule for other

important works.

 

I well come any of the interested and learned members

of this group may start a new group and they can discuss

the reasons for all the rituals and sastras it may be

useful to convince persons who are interested in reasons.

thanks,

Dear Moderator,

 

Namaskaram

 

Thanks for explanation given on the above issue.

 

After joining the group I have learnt a lot especially simple things like

doing daily

Sandhyavandanam, etc. I also learnt about the difference between what is

Shastric

and what is Sampradayam. I never knew these two were different and now with

your

explanation and that of Shri Padmanabhan I fully comprehend that Shastram has

just

got to be followed and there is no alternative and it is also unquestionable.

 

I am really grateful for your guidance on Vaideekam matters.

Dear Sriman Vasu Vadhyar,

 

Namaskaram.

 

I definitely agree with you fully on reasoning.

 

There are certain things which needs no reasoning like we need not know the

meaning of vedam to recite it, we need not know the meaning of daily rituals to

perform it. Slowly we will know the reasons by ourselves that is the thatparyam

of performing blindly. The most important thing however is, we should have the

right Guru guiding us through to Sriman Narayana.

 

I also used to question my father(he was a great soul) daily about various

things like the meaning to Purushasooktam, etc. - he used to say tell it daily

you will start understanding on your own and since we are Thatacharya, I learnt

all from my father. He used to sit beside me daily and teach veda. He was an

IAS officer himself and was very busy in official life but still without

reciting veda and without doing his daily pooja he will never step out.

 

Today also, I will never step out without performing sandhi and my daily pooja

even if I have to catch flight at 5 am (I live in US and do lot of touring). I

had no question on why should it be done till now. I had been a silent observer

in this gorup till now but just wanted to share my thoughts on this.

 

Kindly pardon me if I am wrong and I stand corrected.

 

With lots of regards

 

Adiyen
