Namaskaram Swamy,

Please help me in clarifying this doubt. 

Thavaraga edhenum ketu irundhaal shamikka vendugirean.

Adiyen

Sri Ramanuja Munaye Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruvae Namaha,

Dear Karthik Bhagavata,

Adiyen believe, due to Swamis busy schedule and travel for delivering upanyasams, there is possibility that Swami would have missed noticing some questions, or would have skipped if answers are already available in existing enpani audio.

Meantime, keeping Swamis ThiruvAdi and adiyens Acharyan ThiruvAdi on adiyens head, adiyen will try to answer in a ‘creamy form without details’, since BhagavAtas own Samasrayana Acharyan is the final guide regarding the detailed rituals.

Most rituals are stringent for Brahmins.
For example, doing dharpanam is more detailed for brahmins and within brahmins, the procedure changes between smartha, vaishnavaite etc….

For non-brahmins, rituals (dharpanam) is needed but is flexible as per shastras.

[
Swami has said about Veda Vyasar’s 3 statements:
1) Kali sadhuhu (kali yuga is the best yuga to reach moksham faster due to our agyanam/incapability, Bhagavan waves many things for all varnas),
2) Sthree sadhuhu (In addition to above 1) benefits, A women of any varnas gets Moksham easier in kali yuga),
3) Shudra sadhuhu (In addition to above 1) & 2) , A non-brahmin (4th varna male or female) gets moksham faster in kali yuga than the other 3 varnas due to Bhagavan waving many shastric deeds for them)

To qualify for these benefits for Moksham, one has to a Sharanagathan on lotus feet of SriKrishna.
]

Since Bhagavata says, Bhagavata is a non-brahmin SriVaishnavaite and bhagavatas father attained SriVaikuntam, from which adiyen infer that Bhagavata is a Sharanagathan and has a Samasryana Acharyan, and that Acharyan is nithing but Bhagavatas ” UPAKARAKA” Acharyan and self Vadhyar Swami for Bhagavatas family. So please ask bhagavatas own Samasrayana Acharyan what to follow, and don’t wander around with different Vadhyar Swamis.

“Shastra Vazhiyaal, Acharyan Manadhaal ”
(Do what Shastras prescribe, but do only those shastras that our own Acharyan prescribes through HIS. Acharyans Mind).

If Bhagavata is staying at a longer distance from Bhagavatas own Samasrayana Acharyan, then get own Acharyans blessings first and then pick one vadhyar swami and convey Bhagavatas Acharyan Mind to that Vadhyar Swami around your place just to do the rituals, but for attaining Swami Ramanujar ThiruvAdi (Moksham), Bhagavatas own Upakaraka Acharyan is the only route.

Like, for adiyen, Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami is the GyanAcharyan who guided adiyen to have a Upakaraka Acharyan. So adiyen and adiyen’s sambhandhis route to reach Moksham (UdayavAr ThiruvAdi) is Sri Velukkudi Swami ThiruvAdi and adiyens Upakaraka Acharyans GuruParamparai ThiruvAdi.

Adiyen Sri Velukkudi Krishna Dasan,

Sarvam SriKrisharpanam Asthu.

Many thanks for your kind clarification swamy. 

Shamikkanum Swamy. Adiyen is new to Sri Vaishnavism. Adiyen ku innum samasrayanam aagala. Adiyen’s father used to regularly listen to Sri Velukkudi Krishna Swamy upanyasam.

He was intending to do Samasrayanam after finishing my marriage. But, as per Krishna mega plan and directions he left us early.

Adiyen’s father has sown us the seeds in the direction of sharanagathi and shown us the ruchi. Myself along with my family have been regularly following the EN PANI audio’s and Sri Velukudi Krishnan Swamy’s upanyasams seeking directions. 

Since, adiyen is yet to be initiated (samasrayanam), we were looking for some directions from Swamy on the rituals. 

It has been 7 months now since adiyen’s father left to SriVaikuntam. We have been performing monthly tharpanam in a temple kulam  and also performed oona masikam for the 6th month with the help of Vaishnavas. We really wanted to perform monthly masikam for my father but were bit confused with different instructions. 

Request Swamy’s guidance on how we need to perform the Annual Aabdeekam for my father.

Sri Ramanuja Munaye Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruvae Namaha,

Adiyen BhagavAta.

Adiyen’s Salutations to BhagavAta and BhagavAtas family for having ‘Ruchi’ towards following shastric rituals and having ‘Aasai’ towards getting Samasrayanam done.

Meantime Swami answers, Adiyens personal opinion, Bhagavata to continue what Bhagavata is currently doing, since other SriVaishnavas are helping BhagavAta anyway. Pick one instruction and follow it, as adiyen feel it will be difficult to say a specific instruction for all. Manu Smrithi says, when there is conflict in following many prescribed shastric instructions, “ask your own family ELDERLY person” and follow it.

There is a similar Enpani 33 (Ability in Austerity), where Swami touch bases about Shraddham leniency (different options), if we couldn’t follow it perfectly due to circumstances.

Kinchit En PaNi – App Satsang

Say “Srimathe Ramanuajya Namaha” and follow it. Swami will direct from inside and take care of it. Don’t worry.

அவை தம்மோடும் வந்து இருப்பிடம் மாயன் ராமானுஜன் மனத்து * இன்று அவர் வந்து இருப்பிடம் * எந்தன் இதயத்துள்ளெ தனக்கு இன்புறவே.
