Dear Bhagavatas I am overwhelmed by the response to the query seeking PramaaNams for the observance of Pujas like Ayyappa, Durga and Satyanarayana. So many Bhaagavatas have raised these doubts time and again in spite of my explaining to them. That is why the message was posted to elicit authentic authority, if possible with ACTUAL QUOTES from Vedas, Upanishads, Itihaasas and “Saatvic” PuraaNas or from the writings of Acharyas of Bhagavad Ramanuja- Swami Desika Satsampradaayam (from Sriman Nathamunigal to our present day Achaaryas). Kindly read the original message again. Let me hasten to assure you that, personally, I have no doubts and I have complete conviction in the saving grace of Sriman Narayana who alone can grant mOksha – (as already indicated in the original message).
Other "Ksudra devatas" may be His Sareeram and His children like all of us and some of them may even be His Bhaktas and we are sure, therefore, that they deserve neither "nindanam" or "vandanam". The intention of the original posting is to help us –Prapannas, offer clarification on similar questions from others who may have GENUINE doubts in this regard and our replies should be supported by proper authority from our holy scriptures. Otherwise, we will be dismissed as projecting our personal opinions. Personal opinions, conjectures and speculations and hair splitting arguments in justification of or against the observances are NOT (Repeat NOT) expected as answers to this query. Only PramaaNams (if possible, with actual quotes) may be posted, if only to help us explain better to genuine doubts raised by others – (not by way of “Vithandaavaadam”) Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy __._,_.___
