I was faced with a similar situation, it has been a
practise to have the babies tontured at a temple of one devathanthram in our
ancestoral village. Even veru orthodox person such as my grand father had
suscribed to such acts in the past. Recently when i had an occassion, I
made a mention about this to H.H. Azagiya Singar- my acharya. "koodathu
ethavathu nadakkum endru nee ninaithaal lakshmi nrusimhan jawab" (Strict
No, if you feel there could be any unplesant conseqences, Lord Lakshmi Nrusimhan
will take the responsibility.) was his reply.
The main tenet of saranagathi is Maha Viswasam.
There is one God and none to whom we shall pray except his own
bakthas.
Saranagathi is done for obtaining moksha. Puthukku
Paal are all done expecting results such as health, wealth, children etc., Para
Nyasam is done to surrender our soul to the Lord and seek Him. Other karmassuch
as puthukku paal would be a barrier in performing saranagathi.
It is common knowledge that it is only Sriman
Narayana who grants what ever is prayed to the other devathanthrams
