Contd from 12-03-14........ E- Satsang members missed out all our previous postings can read them in my timeline.... SPECIAL QUESTION no 278: What is the significance of Nivedanam and Deepa Aradhana in our Puja? Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: Raja Yoga has eight steps or angas towards the final goal. The rituals and rites have their own procedures. Likewise, Niyama Puja (Pujas as prescribed by the Shastras) have 16 angas or parts like Aavahanam, Aachamanam etc. Of these, Nivedhanam and Deepa Aradhana are key aspects. So we perform at least these two as a part of our daily pujas. -------------------------------------------------- In Temples, why is teertha prasad given three times? Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: Teertha prasad is given three times to protect one from untimely (unnatural) death, to destroy all the sins and for cure from all diseases. ________________________________________ Can women do Sashtanga Namaskar? Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: According to the scriptures, only men are permitted to perform Sashtanga Namaskar. ------------------------------------------- There is a Perumal temple in my native village that is locked up most of the time and the priest would not hand over the keys or responsibilities to anyone. I requested them to take measures to have it renovated, however no one is willing to take responsibility. Every other small temple by the roadside becomes famous in no time, but this ancient temple is in a sad state. When will this be renovated? It is my ambition to have it renovated. Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: One can become rich by honest earnings or through unlawful means. However the second path is not permanent. In the same way, a temple becomes famous by its ‘sannidhyam’ (presence of divinity of the Lord). It could become popular through publicity etc., but that is not permanent. In order to bring about Sannidhyam in the temple, organize Akhanda Maha Mantra Kirtan for 7 days in the temple precincts with not less than 3 bhaktas chanting at any point in time. When this is performed. The Lord will show a way out and a solution towards renovation will definitely be born. !!!
