Adiyen has doubt about the sevakalam after varushaptikam.

Seems there are two ways of doing this.

one the next of aaptikam

two before performing the aaptikam

which is correct and as per shastram

Dear Sriman Sadagopachar swamin,

 

Regarding Apthika Sevakalam,

people are always confusing this by comparing with the 'iyal Sevakaalam'.

 

Purpose of the both are very very different.

 

A) 'Iyal Sevakaalam' is done as a very tiny and model preview of the

'Upacharam' being done by the 'Aadhi vaahikaas' for the 'Atma' which

traveling through 'Archiraadhi gadhi' to 'Paramapadham' .

Reference : 1. " Thiruvai mozhi - Suzhvisumbanimukil " - " Vedha nal vaayavar

velviyul maduththalum, ... madanthaiyar vaazhthalum marutharum vasukkalum

.... thodarndhengum thothiram sollinar " .... all the ten paasurams are

describing this upacharams only.

Reference : 2. " Adhikaara sangraham " -- Paasuram no : 28,

" Nadaipera angi pahal oli naal uththaraayanam aandu

idaivarukaatriravi iravin pathi, min, varunan

kudaiyudai vaanavar kon, prajapathi, endrivaraal

idai idai bhogangal yeidhi ezhirpatham earuvare "

 

So many references are there,

 

So, performing vedha prabanda, other paarayanams on the day of subha

sweekaram is a model upacharam done assuming the atma is present in the

'Velli Sombu'.

 

But,

2. Apthika, prathyaabthika sevakaalams:

It is a part of chradham, which should be done on every year chradham.

Because we are - Vedha, Prabhanda - 'Ubhaya vedhanthi'

We should perform every day aaraadhanam with minimum nithyanusandhana part

of

Vedham and prabandam for aaraadhanam, but we don't have time so, we

curtailed / minimized it to " That vishno : " vedha panchathi and " chitran

siru kaale, vanga kadal " prabanda paasurams.

 

But in the day of chradham, we should perform ubhaya veda paarayanam to some

extent.

So, atleast for the first year " Varusha Aapthikam " we are doing it

elaborately.

 

Most of the gruhasthas are not understanding the difference between " Subha

sweekaaram " and " Apthika dhathiyaaradhanam " .

Doing seva kaalam on the day of Apthika dhathiyaaradhanam " is meaning less.

dasan,
