vIrabhadrotsava

[Guest guest]

> during the vira upasana of Tripurasundari and Veerabhadra in Trilinga

Desa.There is also a similar stuthi for Veerabhadra in Trilinga Desa

among Vira Saivaites. And symbolically among Vira Saivites, this

Vira Stuthi is ascribed to Vira Khadga among the worshippers of

Veerabhadra.

 

My tenants in trilinga desha performed a vIrabhadrotsava a couple of

months back. Among the many things they do, there will be a person who

simulates a sword combat while people recite songs in Telugu(actually

mixture of Telugu and Sanskrit) in praise of vIrabhadra. It is true

that these songs are called khaDga-s(vIrabhadra khaDgamulu in Telugu).

The reason why they are called khaDga-s is of-course clear given the

context. But will that apply to yesterday's discussion is another

question which I will not discuss for now. AFAIK Tripurasundari does

not figure in this utsava(do correct me if I am mistaken).

 

No offense taken regarding any posts. So be easy. :-)

Dear Shri Shriram:

 

Every Gurumandalii has its own set of interpretations of various texts, which

are disputed and contested by others.

This is why it is important to follow one's Guru.

 

I am sure your Guruji has your best interests at heart, and I am glad to know

that you are following her instructions.,

I hope you can still join us in singing praises of Shri Maataa, while avoiding

unnecessary debate and argument.

 

Thanks and Regards.

This is not completely true. If something is illogical and not

sanctioned by the shastra-s it should be abandoned.

 

It is good to follow one's teacher but if it is found that it has no

basis in the shastra-s, it should be abandoned and the right procedures

should be followed.
