   Namasthe to all

   I have some unique doubts on Ekadashi acharne pl do clarify
   1. Nitu upavasa means except thirtha we should not consume even drop of water accepted but …. It is scientifically proven that air contains water molecules and while inhaling we will consume moist air that means we are consuming water..
   2. In Hasu (COW) there are more than 300crore gods present including Mahavishnu ,Lakshmi and till end of chart all Yaksha Gandharva purusha’s accepted but on Ekadashi day we feed cow it means all 300crore gods consuming feed/food..etc..so??????
   3.If we feed food to gods on Ekadashi day as described in claim 2 we are definitely going to offer seviour papa… but in other hand if cow dies because of no feed then attains GOHATA papa… now which one to consider and to leave, among both which is greater than which????
   4.In case if we visit any temple on ekadashi day they will give thirtha but if happens to be second time taking thirtha (once taken @ home)now leaving thirtha is also a papa taking twice on Ekadashi day is also a papa…..?
   5.On the same context of above if in temple they give prasada that to made of rice what to do?///??????????

   for my mind now major thing striking is how to measure level of papa/ punya or Papa punys is just Bogous

   Here is the reply to the query from Mr Anand about Ekadashi Query

   Q.No.1 Reply
   - Inhaling moisture along with air doesn’t mean consuming water. If it is so, try to quench your thirst by inhaling air.

   Q.No.2 Reply
   - Feeding cows is just like feeding your kids.Are devatas not preseent in your kids?. Does it mean you are feeding devatas?

   Q.No.3 Reply
   - Ekadashi is meant for human beings and not animals.So feeding them doesn’t fetch papa.

   Q.No.4 Reply
   - Rejecting thirtha second time doesn’t result in papa,because we are expected to take thirtha only once.

   Q.No.5 Reply
   - Reject without any hinderance

   with due respect, i would like to know in Sanchita, Aagami & Praarabdha karmas- most of scholars has been preaching that Sanchita & Aagami can be avoided (nivarane) with the blessings of Hari Vayu, where as Praarabdha Karma Cannot be!!
   if so is it not this statement is against the swatantrathva of Sri Hari (kimalabhyam Bhagavati prasanne Srinikethane, ananyaschintoyanto…. etc).
   if the Praarbdha can also be avoided (nivarane), the How (i.e upasane, karma, seva etc.)?

   Sir, Reply to sameerana says:
   December 24, 2010 at 1:32 pm reg why we should perform sandhyavandana asking the reasons.
   1. If a Dwija, after upanayanam, neglects bathing for seven days and ignores sandhya for three day, then for the rest of life he will remain,equivalent to a person in the last varna ‘Sudra’, When such a person dies, he will be reborn as a dog.
   2. By mere birth in a particular family, a person does not become Dwija. One gets Brahminhood etc by Sanskaras and means of adopting certain prescribed rituals. Before the Upanayana Sanskar, all boys are equivalent to individuals in the fourth group(Varna)
   3. Once the upanayanam ceremony is performed that does not make him eligible to remain dwija through out the life. To retain the Brahminhood thus obtained by the Upanayanam one has to pertorm Sandhya regularly. By neglance of Sandhya one down grades oneself to last varna as said above. It is emphasised that Sandhya is compulsory discipline through out the life of every dwija. Any one neglecting Sandhya week long or if one is affected by Physical or mental set backs then for such a person a brief Upanayana Sanskar is to be done.4. Alternatively, in order to protect Brahminhood of such persons the following instructions may be followed. IF A PERSON SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC DISEASES OR MENTAL ILLNESS, EITHER HIS FATHER OR BROTHER OR ANY ONE ELSE INTERESTED IN HIM SHOULD PERFORM SANDHYA EVERY DAY THREE TIMES ON HIS BEHALF”
   5. iF We just complete on these thoughts for a while, we will appreciate how much importance our ancestors/Rishis have given for adoption of this Vedic Prayer in daily life. One has to understand the protective power and other benefits of Gayatri. Then one would certainly be able to make Tri-Sandhya an in seperable part of his life routine.

   If any more douts on Sandhyavandana, I can further detailed explanation on Exceptional circumstances for ommission of Sandhyavandanam

   Exceptional circumstances for ommission of Sandhyavandanam
   Omission of Sandhya is permitted under exceptional circumstances. The follwing authority describes the exceptions. If one is engaged in learning/teaching Vedas or transcendental meditation or errands of super importance, then one is exempted from performing Sandhya. Under these circumstances omission of Sandhya will not be counted as lapse/sin.
   2.Observance of Sandhya needs water. One may thing as well that under circumstances when one does not get water, performance of Sandhya might be skipped. But it is not so. In the absence of water, alternatively, the Arghya should be given to the SUN God by means of dust particles in the atmosphere and the Gayatri should be chanted mentally. This is how the Agni Sruti recommends alternative ways of observance and not at any cost omit it. That is the amount of importance, respect and interest one has to attach to Sandhya Vandana.

   Dear Sumadhwaseva brothers & sisters,

   I sincerely wish our acharya srimadh anandatheertharu will be pleased by your seva.

   I feel you are doing a great disrespect to Srihari by frequently trying to insult sankara and advaitha, for the simple reason that sankara had to be born and establish advaitha is also a decission of srihari, so please accept it.

   secondly, srihari will decide if sankara was wrong or right, it is our duty to worship srihari instead of foolishly trying to weigh mountains in a balance!

   kala – means Jnaana, k – suKa,
   (As paramathmana avatara is having the Jnaana and SuKha he is called as Kalki. He will attack Kali and destroy him – that is why he is called as Kalki)

   (dvaadasha stotra)

   Srihari told in Srimadbhagavatha Dwiteeya Skanda, Adhyaya 7 shloka 38 -

   that During the closing stages of Kaliyuga, even in satpurushaa’s house also Srihari’s stories will not be the topic, Brahmanaas also will follow nastika maarga, the people’s government will result in dharmanasha, there will not be Havirdana with Svaaha mantra, then Srihari will incarnate himself as the son of a Brahman dampathigalu, by name Vishnuyashas-Sumathi in a city called as Shambala.

   Vishnuyashas will the avatara of Swayambhuva Manu

   Kalki will learn from Parashurama.

   Kalki will have a great sword as his weapon and a high speed white horse named Devadatta to be his Vehicle.

   Kalki will marry Padmavathi, who has the sannidhana of Srimahalakshmi, daughter of Simhala Dweepa’s bruhadratha.

   Kali nigraha: kalki yatra praadurbhavishyati |

   He will kill and destroy the entire miscreants and dharma drohees and save the Dharma.

   Kaliyuga started when Duryodhana fell to the great beat of Bheemasena. And it will end with the avatara of Kalki.

   After Kalki’s avatara, it is the end of Kaliyuga and new Tretayuga will be started when Surya, Chandra and Guru planets will all stay in Pushya Nakshatra.

   Since the world has gone utterly corrupt with adharmic activities, it is believed that the Kalki Avatar will bring an end to the present Cycle of Universe and after a span of darkness creation will began once again.

   According to Padmapurana, Kalki roopi paramathma will end the age of Kali and will kill all the wicked people and, thus, destroy the bad condition of the world. He will gather all the brahmanas and will propound the highest truth. He will know all the ways of life that have perished and will remove the prolonged hunger of the genuine brahmanaru . He will be the only ruler of the world that cannot be controlled, and will be the banner of victory and adorable to the world.

   This is answer to the request of Sri. V.K.Murthy dt.11th January 2011 at 11.17hrs.

   The Brindavan situated at Mudumala, near Gudeballur is of the great saint Yadavendra Theertharu. He is senior to Sree Raghavendra theertharu. They both are the shishyas of Sudheendra theertharu. Yadavendraru sacrificed the peetadhipathya even though he was eligible to that post. Now also the brindavana of Yadavendraru belongs to Mantralayam Rayara mutt. I hope you are satisfied with this information.

    Dear Sir:

    My question may appear, very primitive for Madhwas. In the Pancha Mudras, 3 are easily identifiable viz., Sudharshana, Shanka and Narayana Mudra-s.

    The confusion, comes between Padma and Gadha. The confusion is because, there are so many books for Sandhya Vandana and Deva puja. The figures are always varied, when one book says smooth edged one is Gadha some other books say the other way round, the sides, with spikes is Gadha.

    Would you please publish a ‘scholarly’ article with photos, with the blessings of Sri Satyatma Theertha swamiji of Uttaradhi Mutt, because he is head of the Uttaradhi matha and there won’t be any more wrong publications.

    Thank you,

    Jammi

    Respected Acharyajee,
    My father’s ceremony comes on yati dwadashi, many of mutts wont accept chataka shradha on that day. More over since I have undergone surgery on my right leg i cannot sit (I am 50yrs)on floor(permanently) and do the rituals. None of the mutt support for such people and say that they cannot do including in uttaradi mutt. Every year on that day i wont get Acharya to do the ritual. Kindly suggest me in such situation how to continue the varshika shradha. Just because of my leg problem I don’t want to discontinue. Kindly suggest me some temple/mutt who will support such people who cannot perform due to their such physical problems but still want to continue our vidi vidana.
    Hope I will get information on mail email dkgururaj@yahoo.co.in

    HARE SRINIVASA
    It would be much better on the part of Sumadhwa Seva to notify all the subscribers, of the itinerary of MahaSwami Shri 1008 Satyatma Thritharu from time by means of SMS. Especially people situated in the south east and east of Andhra do not get a chance of having a darshan of swamiji, and by the time it begets known, it would be too late and one ends up unprepared, and highly disappointed. Please spare a thought. should
