Can women chant sUktam? Which part of the vEdA talks about Temple 
Worship? Why I'm asking this question is my godmother asked me "why 
should we go to temple? Is it not enough if we think of God for 5 
mnts?" I asked her how many times she thinks of God in a day. Even 
one mnt concentration(absolute) on Him is difficult. I told her that 
it's said in the vEdAs and I'll let her know where it is said. I 
tried to give her an example by quoting ganges:"though ganges 
originates in gaumukh,nobody brings jalam from there but only PrayAg 
b'coz it has story behind it plus so many devotees take bath in 
that,similarly temples in places have some historic background and it 
has holy properties b'coz so many bhaktas visit temple,which our 
house lacks". I gave couple of other examples(common sense)based on 
my experience(for example we have radio/electromagentic signals 
everywhere but we need a receiver to catch those signals)

I asked because I didn't know the meaning of Desika and I wanted to 
know who it refers to. Thanks for telling me the meaning.
What does this "6000ppadi,9000ppadi etc mean"? Sorry to ask such a 
dumb question. What does that number mean?(that many vyAkhyAnams?)

Best Regards and thanks
