Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 namo narayana Dear devotees, I have a question regarding Vilvam/bilvam leaves which are mostly offered to Lord Siva, but not to Lord Narayana. According to Sri Lakshmi Ashttotaram, Sri Mahalakshmi resides in the Vilva leaves, "Bhaskarim bilvanilayam vararoham yasasvinim" , if this is the case then shouldnt the Vilvam/bilvam leaves be offered to Lord Narayana instead of Lord Siva? I request the learned members of this group to please enlighten me on this issue. Sincerely, Kamlesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 SrI: Dear Kamlesh : TuLasi is the preferrd scred leave to perform Archani for PerumAL although MahA Lakshmi has Bilva Nilayam . You will see the Tree at the North East on thre Banks of AhOrathra PushkaraNI in Oppiliappan Sannidhi ( Hope it is still there , Some one can check this out and let us know). The Bilva Fruit is dried , hollowed and is used as the storing vessel for SrI ChUrNam by VaidhikAs. There is a tradition of Using Bilva Leaves as one of the "pushpams" in the Pushpa Yaagam for Padmavathi ThAyAr at ThirucchAnur . Rose, Lily , lotus, Jaaiji , Maruvam/vetti vEr, chAmanti , KanakAmbharam , Dhavanam , TULASEE, Mogili , Maasa Pathri are the others used in such Pushpa Yaagam . On Sri PadmAvati ThAyAr's birthday , Lord SrinivAsa senda baskets of TuLasi and Flowers to Her. At ThirukkaNNa Puram , PerumAl has Rudra Vesham and recieves VibhUti . Bilvam ( Fresh or in Gold) are otherwise exclusively used for Siva Poojai . BilvAshtakam praises the glory of archana to SivapirAn.Sivan uses TuLasi to perform archanai for His grandfather, Lord Sriman narayaNan .
