Dear Sri VaishNavAs
:
Few of you have asked me
about including daily AarAdhanam to the Dhivya Dampathis
in your lives inspite of
the time pressures that you as young professionals experience
in coping
with the Loukikam
demands from your busy lives .
SandhyA Vandhanam , Bhagavath
AarAdhanam , Bhagavath PrasAdha SveekaraNam
are the
prescribed observances by our AchAryAs in our daily lives .
It will be ideal
to perform Dhivya MangaLa Vigraha
AarAdhanam and/or PaadhukA
as well as
SaaLagrAma AarAdhanam learnt from elders or
AchAryan . It may be difficult
some times to
recieve these traditional instructions about performing
Bhagavath
AarAdhanam
from AchAryan directly or from elders
in the family .
It will be most satisfying
however to perform detailed IjyA AarAdhanam
daily although it
may not be feasible due to time pressures .
We have two
options on weekdays to perform either Laghu
AarAdhanam
or Maanaseeka
Aaraadhanam instead of elaborate , SaasthrOktha
BhAhyArAdhanam .
The precise ways
to perform BhAhyArAdhanams have been recorded in the
AhnIkam
treatises blessed to us by
Prakrutham HH Srimath Azhagiya Singar , SrI VaNN SaThakOpa
Sri NaarAyaNa YathIndhra MahA
Desikan of SrI Matam and other AchAryans .
There is also an excellent
resource ( based on Sri Matam kramam) on how to perform such a detailed
AaarAdhanam assembled by Sriman Thiruvaheendhrapuram Venkata rAghavan
with audio clips and
graphics on
MudhrAs as well as the placement of the vessels for
AarAdhanam
at his excellent
web site :
It is in English , Tamil and
Sanskrit versions and can be printed out
for reference . This version
on AarAdhana Kramam deals with :
1. Preliminaries ( Dress Code
, SaamagriyAs/accesssories , Timing etc)
2. BhUtha Suddhi Kramam (
Purification of the Self to qualify for the
performance
of
Bhagavath AaarAdhanam and the alternate easier way for the
beginners)
3. The Maanaseeka AarAdhanam
( Internal worship)
4. Paathra Parikalpanam (
Laying out of the Vessels for AarAdhanam)
5. The first three Aaasanams
( Manthra, SnAna and AlankArAsanams)
followed by Manthra Pushpam recitation and concluded with three
more
Aasanams (
BhOjyAsanam , PunarmanthrAsanam and ParyankAsanam ).
VisEsha AarAdhana Kramam is
also included at this web site . Our thanks are to
Sri Venkata Raghavn for his
great Kaimkaryam .
Alternatively , the AchArya
RaamAnuja CD ROM containing Multimedia demos
of the AarAdhana Kramam with
extensive audios and color graphics can be used .
This CD
ROM is being updated to play on all platfroms and with
some financial support
from you all should be
realizable in few weeks. Please send me a note if you wish
to support
this regeneration
of the AchArya RaamAnuja CD ROM .
LAGHU
AARAADHANAM FOR THE DHIVYA DAMPATHIS
************************************************************************
Assuming
that an interested Sri VaishNavan is pressed
for
time
during the working days and that he is still interested to
spend
10 to 15
minutes of his time in the morning to perform
what is prescribed
by
AchAryAs as Laghu AarAdhanam , he can have the
satisfaction of
performing the worship for
the Lord inspite of time pressures .
In the subsequent Postings ,
adiyEn will cover the procedure of
performing LAGHU AARAADHANAM .
