Dear SrI Raghavan :Thanks for your questions .I have provided some answers and aminviting others to shed additional lightThe application of Paccha Karpooramis not sanctioned by VaikAnasa Aagamam.Yelam , Lavangam , Karpporam are recommendedfor Thirumanjana Theertham .ThirumaNN made of Paccha Karpooram isunique to Thirumala . DakshiNa Venkataachapathy ,Sri Oppiliappan or Nadu Naattu SrinivAsan( Thiruvaheendhrapuram Devanathan ) or SrinivAsa PerumAL of ANNan Koil do not wearPaccha Karpoora ThirumaNN . They wear standardThirumaNN and the eyes are not covered eitherfor the dhruva bhErams at these dhivya dEsams .The areas between the eyes is the location ofAj~naa chakram , which has a very important rolein Yogic practises .One can only speculate that Paccha Karpooramgot into the picture at Thirumalaa from the time of AnanthALvAn ,the sishyar who volunteered to do pushpa Kaimkaryamat Thirumala , his hitting the Lord with a crowbar inanger and the wound on the chin of the Lord , which was treatedby the perturbed AnanthALvAn to heal the wound .He might have applied the Green Camphor pastewith KasthUri , Sandal paste to cool the forehead ofthe Lord , which might have been smarting fromthe wound created on the chin and the bleedingthat had to be stopped . It is an ancient customunique to this dhivya dEsam , where the Lordcame to help the pregnant wife of AnanthALvAn ,who was helping her husband in his task (earthmoving ) to create the flower garden forthe Lord .Other devotees and students of the customs atThirumala are requested to shed some light onthis Pacchai Karpoora dhAraNam at Thirumala .The coolness of the AakAsa Gangai Theerthamis complemented by the heat extraction attributes ofPaccha Karpooram , which has been used inmedicine for a long time .NamO SrI VenkatEsAya ,V.Sadagopan----- Original Message -----From: Sampath RaghavanSent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 11:33 AMSubject: Pacha karpuram / SripadarenuDear Sadagopan mama,Adiyen Dasan, I'm Raghavan from Bangalore.I would like to seek your inputs / answers on following information / topics1.
