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 :
 
http://www.srivaishnavam.com.aradhana.htm
 
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 .
