MantrAkshathai - explanations please...

[Guest guest]

Dear Sriman Narayanan :

 

Regarding your question on Pahala MantrAkshatai from Srimath Azhagiya

Singars ,

it is a great BhAgyam to recieve it from the sacred hands of the MalOla

dhivya PaadhukA

sevakar , Srimath Azhagiya Singar. Raaja SanyAsis like Srimath Azhagiya

Singar have

unique power in their hands since they themselves are " NadamAdum

Narasimhans " .

One should recieve it in folded upper Veshti ( utthareeyam ) and with bent

head after prostrating before Sriamth Azhagiya Singar and should make sure

that the sacred akshatai does not fall on the floor . It should be kept in

the Pooja gruham seperately in a container or with the SaalagrAma Moothys

and dhwArakA silAs in the Koil AzhwAr .

 

Uncooked rice grains ( Tandulam) are mixed with turmeric powder in a time

honored and traditional manner followed by previous Azhagiya Singars and

Sri Nrisimha

BheejaKsharam is written over it to impart power and invoke the presence of

Lord

Narasimhan in those golden yellow gains . The golden yellow color is also

indicative

of PirAtti's presence since the AarAdhana Moorthy of Sri Matam is Malolan

( Sri Lakshmi Nrisimhan).

 

The usage of these sacred mantraakshatais varies depending on family

practises :

 

(1) some carry few grains with them during their travel or while attending

important

events in their lives ( job interviews , major conference speeches etc).

(2) some soak it in water, sprinkle that water over their heads (PrOkshaNam)

and also partake it as sacred water to cleanse themselves , while invoking

the vaibhavam of the AchAryan and MalOlan .Those akshathais are pavitra

vasthus and can be added to

Udaka Saanthi water to ennhance its power .This is a personal preference .

(3) Using them as a bed for SaaLagramam has been mentioned before .

(4) They are like shield ( Kavacham) to ward off dangers of every kind .

 

I am sure there are so many other ways that the sishyAs use the Phala

MantrAkshatais .

 

Whenever one does a specific Kaimakryam like participation in ChAthrumAsya

Vratam support , Srimath Azhagiya Singar sends the Phala Mantraakshatai to

the sishya

by mail , if he or she could not be there in person to recieve it .

 

The ChAthurmAsyam observed by the two Azhagiya Singars will take place at

the Bangalore Aasramam for 60 days starting from July 7 and concluding on

Sep 4, 2009

this year . Those of us who have not firmed up on their plans are requested

to take part

in presenting their samarpaNams yathaa Sakti . Your samarpaNams can be sent

directly to Sri Nrisimha Priyaa Office , Mylapore ( 30 VenkatEsa agrahaaram

, Chennai 600 004 )

or can be sent via the Ahobila Matam web site ( http://www.ahobilamutt.org )

..

Your samarpaNams help to perform ThiruvArAdhanams for Malolan during

Abhigamanam , Ijya ( mid day) and Evneing Paanaka AarAdhanam . Those funds

are also used for the daily TadhiyArAdhanam and Bikshai for the Azhagiya

Singars .

 

Worship of One's AchAryans during the ChAthurmAsyam is a great bhAgyam and

adiyEn would encourage your participation to make this year's ChAthrumAsyam

a special One .Please contact adiyEn , if you wish to take part in thsi

year's chAthurmAsyam .

 

NamO SrI NrisimhAya,

V.Sadagopan
