Dear all

Recently I was reading thru a compilation ( by " Anna " )on navavarna pooja and

its meanings.

The book mentioned that its parasurAma kalpaduthra. In the list of Gurus ,

Srimadh sankarAchArya was also included.

My understanding is that parasurAma kalpasuthrA is a very " ancient " book and

that Sri SankarAchArya' s avatara happened around 2000 years back. So is acharya

included by the author as a later addition in the list of gurus? Or is it

because that author considers sankarAchArya as one of his guru, hence included

in the navavarna pooja.

I am by no means trying to question why srI sankarAchArya was included in the

guru is list. ( who else would have had the compassion to include words like

mamapisivey, inspite of his exalted status and himself being a avatar of

sAmbasivA.)

I only want to know if inclusions in ancient scripts are allowed and are

accepted inclusions.

Dear Rajeshwari,

We ordinary humans with several limitations lacking mantra siddhi cannot do

anything other than *sincere prayer* from the bottom of our heart.

These are the jobs of upasakas who have attained siddhi of *Varuna Mantra Japa*

or the siddha purushas who haved attained mastery on pancha bhutas.

The sincere parayana of *Virata Parva* from Mahabharata under the supervision of

great upasakas can help to get the rain. It was done at the times of Shri

Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamigal who was supervising the parayana of Virata

Parva.

regs,

sriram

Yes and probably stop cutting down trees and stop building concrete structures

all over the place. The ground water has run dry with all the concrete roads.

just to echo Sri Ganapathy's point on an earlier mail, why would varuna japam be

successful when the problem is a result of our own actions? upasakas will not

intervene in such situations, HH Swamigal intervened in a particular situation

for a specific purpose,

re forestation and rain water harvesting will be a better option to varuna

japam, what we should definitely pray for is to get good common sense specially

the builders and of course the government,
