Sri Ramanuja Muneya Namaha,

Dear Baktha,

Swami has said in one of earlier EnpAni that a question should be “simple question” rather than making the question itself as a “statement”.

 The question should be “Saamanya Kelvi (simple One-line question)” and answer received will be “Vishesha Badhil (special Detailed  answer)” based on PoorvAcharyas teachings from Shastras/Vedas/PuranAs/Ithihasams..

But here, the question itself appears like a statement as “why Garuda PuranAm to be read only on specific occasions”. This questions defines as if Garuda Puranas are “read only during occasions why not other times”. In this case, if the VIshehsha Badhil is received, it will conflict our initial thinking, so acceptance of the answer will be in jeopardy.

So, here the question itself needs to be “revised” to give the answer. Everything that we hear need not be true unless, it can be verified against Shastras.

So the question should be rather asked based on our “practicality/experience” as

“BAsed on adiyen’s practical life, adiyen has come across, Garuda PuranAm is not read in all occasions, what is the reason. Kindly please clarify Swami. What does Shastras say about it”, Now, the question is more like a question for clarification rather than a Statement”,  then there will be an answer.

Adiyen is only picking this particular topic just to lay down Swami’s past EnPani regarding “Saamanya Kelvi” & “Visheha Badhil”, and not to pick on the Baktha who asks the questions, since adiyen and other Bakthas are also going through such transformations. Our life is a “continuous improvement” till we reach Moksha in this birth for Nithya-Kainkaryam/Nithya-Anubhavam. So, adiyen is focusing only on the subject.

****************************

One Baktha asked the same question in a different circumstance to Swami in the past as:

“Should Garudapuranam be studied only during these 10 days of the person’s death? Shouldn’t be read inside the house?”

Sri Velukkudi Swami’s answer based on PoorvAcharyas teachings from Shastras/Vedas/PuranAs/Ithihasams as

“There is no specific advice to read Garuda puranam within these 10 or out of these 10.”

Same answer applies to ALL Bakthas as “Garuda Puranam can be read at all times“.

Initially Swami was answering, of late Swami not answering any of my questions and if I expect he says “EdhirpArpum yEmAtramum” in EnPaNi

Oru question kudava valid illa? Or am adiyen obsessed with ahankAram? Na avlo kettavana??

Bhagavat Gita 16.5 — தெய்வீக குணங்கள் முக்தி தரக்கூடியவை, அசுர குணங்களோ பந்தப்படுத்துபவை. பாண்டுவின் மைந்தனே, கவலைப்படாதே, நீ தெய்வீக குணங்களுடன் பிறந்திருக்கிறாய்.

Sarvam Sri Krishnaarpanam!
