dear shri padmanabhan,
thanks very much for your detailed response.
essentially, as for as Emperuman's "ecchil" is concerned, what i have written
and what you have pointed out are essentially the same. i have just indicated,
on the basis of the "Saccharitra Raksha", the objections raised by some
misguided people to consumption of bhagavat prasaadam and how the same is
wrong, when considered in the light of Pancharaatra texts and Tiruppallaandu.
you have confirmed the same with the aid of Sri Kodai Naachiar's sree sookti.
as for Pitru sesham, it is bhagavat prasaadam, but becomes Pitru sesham after
consumption by those officiating in the shraaddham. as to offering of Pitru
Sesham to unconnected persons, there appear to be several opinions on this--we
would do well to follow the practice of our own elders and the guidance of our
Acharyas in the matter.
as for Tiruththuzhaai prasaadam given to us at Tirumala, it is perfectly
acceptable. it does not lack Lakshmi sambandham, as you have pointed out. since
Sridevi never leaves the Lord's chest (Agalakillen irayum endru Alarmel Mangai
urai maarba), the Lord never lacks Lakshmi sambandham and as such Tiruttuzhaai
prasaadam at tirumala should be perfectly acceptable to us.
thanks and regards, dasan, sadagopan
