Namaskaram
 
Adiyen have a question about ishta daivam and kula daivam. I'm not sure if this 
topic has already been discussed before or explained in Hinduism Rediscovered. 
 
Everybody including archagar in our vaishnava sthalam have ishta daivam and 
kula daivam which will be different from the koil that he is doing archagam. I 
understand the meaning of ishta daivam, as it is a daivam prefered by the 
individual. What is kula daivam? 
 
Though our single motive is to attain saranagathy to the lord. We have kula 
deiyvam like hanuman, durgai, etc.,. Is it kula daivam means the god/godesses 
is workshiped by our family for very longtime? if so on what basis do we 
classify? Is it based on our ancesters  did archagam/kaikaryam to this god? Can 
you please explain?
