Can you give clarifications on specific aspects of Aashoucham?

[Varadarajan]

What kind of clarification do you need?

[Varadarajan]

We’ll be eager to answer if it’s more specific

Adiyen, It’s heartening to see a galaxy of young Srivaishnava champions arise,such as yourself and Vakulabharana swamy and several other younger faces brought into the fore especially by Ethiraja matham Bengaluru through their unremitting service of broadcasting sampradaya suktis since the past few years. There is abundance of sampradaya literature, vyakhyanams, upanyasams and other helpful and free resources on the net today; one more such as yours is a welcome addition because it’s unique in it’s contents especially the interview sessions with Srivaishnava stalwarts which gives us a glimpse into the making of these legends.

Adiyen guessed that the title ‘Svairalapam’ is perhaps, an inspiration from Erumbiappa’s Uttara dinacharya where by the usage he refers to the sweet and simple expressions of Sri. Manavalamamunigal in expounding arcane shastrarthams. Correct if adiyen is off-mark.
Adiyen is old enough to shower Mangalashasanams ‘Poliga, poliga,’ on this brilliant venture and to both of you.
Kindly accept adiyens kinchit karam to this commendable cause.
Srivaishnava dasan,

Thank you for your generous comments. We had explained why we kept the name ‘Svairalapam’ in the first episode. And what devareer said is true. The word was taken from the works of Erumbiyappa.

Adiyen thinks that it might be hugely useful, particularly for youngsters if devareer could arrange for an upanyasam on Sandhyavandanam with Srivaishnava vyakyanams. The brief for the upanyasya karta should be to cover the Necessity of doing sandhya, sabdhartham of every mantra and swapdesa artham of it. Yes, there will be the issue of whether to cover Rig, Yajur and Sama veda mantrams. It will be good if the basic common mantras are touched upon.

அனந்தகோடி நமஸ்காரங்கள் ஸ்வாமி! அடியேன் ரங்கநாதன். பொதுவாக பாரத்வாஜ கோத்ரம் ஸாம வேதம் (த்ராஹ்யாயந ஸூத்ரம்) சேர்ந்த ஸ்ரீவைஷ்ணவர்கள் எந்த வம்சம் / பரம்பரையில் வருவார்கள் என்று தேவரீர் சொல்ல முடியுமா? அடியேனுக்கு சொல்ல பெரியவர்கள் இல்லை. உறவினர்களுக்கும் சரியாக தெரியவில்லை. மாற்றி மாற்றி சொல்கின்றனர். அதர்க்குதான் யாரேனும் பெரியவர்களிடம் கோத்ரம், வேதம், ஸூத்ரம் முதலானவையை சொன்னால் அவர்கள் சொல்வார்கள் என்று பலர் சொன்னார்கள். தேவரீர் பல வேலைகளில் இருப்பீர்கள். தேவரீர் தயவுக்கூர்ந்து அடியேனுக்கு சொல்ல வேண்டும். அனந்தகோடி தன்யவாதங்கள். 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Swamiji i need a clarification on Puranas as there are 18 mahapuranas and few upapuranas given by Veda vyasa maharshi(who is an avatar of bhagawan vishnu) in which few puranas explain creation as made by Bhagawan vishnu and few puranas stating Creation came from Bhagawan Shiv and few puranas state creation came from Durga maata/Lakshmi maata.

I am studying different sampradayas in Sanatan dharma and few sampradayas outwrite say that except puranas related to Bhagawan vishnu remaining are not valid and same goes for followers of Bhagawan Shiv.

Can you give a clarification why Bhagawan Vishnu has given us these many puranas(As each puranas are written in different kalpa).

The present state of Hinduism in general is very very precarious.
I can tell this in a very comparative manner. In the days of Prahalad maharaj, there was only one Hiranyakashipu. But now there are thousands. But Lord Narasimha is not coming to protect us.
Most politicians in Tamil Nadu are against Hinduism, they propagate other religions.
The state of Hinduism is told clearly in the following video:

If we dont take proper action, the religion will face its end, we are in the computer era
and ending a religion is not difficult.
I find majority of Hindu children are not practicing the religion. If they dont, where is the future?
Those who practice are simply and exception.

Adiyen has listened to Velukkudi Swamis discourses for more than 5 years and benefitted a lot. I am extremely grateful to Swamy to make Hindus understand that we are in now way inferior to other religions and that we have a library of books compared to a single one in other religions.
Adiyen, an engineer by profession and has used my Maths, Engineering, Astronomy and Physics knowledge to prove why the Hindu view of having many devas serving a unique all powerful central Paramatma is the only way possible for the universe which is so huge to exist. The views of other religions that there is only one God, is totally wrong and proved in my little book below:

Please let other religion people read this and understand the truth in Hinduism.

A poem on Narasimha the BHAKTA PALA
Narasimha, the Bhakta-pala!
Oh Prahalad, Oh Prahalad
Even when you were just a lad,
Born to mother Kayadu, you had
Learnt a lot from Narada Muni, the bard
That Vishnu is the Supreme Lord!.
None like you so far, even while in womb,
Learnt that every life will end in a tomb!
Therefore pray to Krsna in joy and gloom! 1

Hiranya, your father made the world to him pray:
None could oppose him in any way:
Even Indira before him had no say!
But you preached to your mates every day
To chant Krishna Hare
And hence keep Maya at bay! 2

You kindled hence your father’s wrath
As so different was your path
To his ego filled aftermath!
His wrath made him to try to kill you, his only son
Who was to inherit all he won.
But though he tried every way under the sun,
The Lord all his heinous attempts over run. 3

Finally he asked his son, ‘who are you?
Who is protecting you?
Where is he that protects you?’
The wee Prahalad replies: ‘He is Hari
If you pray to Him there is no worry
As He is like a safe ferry
To cross samsara and be merry! 4
He is present in every Tom and Jerry!!
Though I love you dad
I cant worship you in your temporary body clad
But Hari is supreme personality in whole.
For sure only he is ultimate and everyone’s goal.’ 5

Father: ‘So Is he just a filler?
Will he be in this pillar?’
Prahalad: ‘Yes dad, everywhere for sure
So why not in in this pillar pure?’
Hiranya strikes that pillar with force
Lo behold!.. came a terrible Man Lion pose:
Appeared from inside the pillar and arose, 6

And spring on him to carry him to be disemboweled,
So that His dear devotee gets the crown jeweled;
And nay, even the offender be moksha enabled,
Though the son just pleaded for a forgiven end.
This Man Lion form is Narasimha the omnipresent.
He is the only one who even to Death can get death sent !
Why waste time watching the Lion King
When just thinking of Him all benefits bring? 7

Gita Sublime as an English Rhyme: This it entire Bhagavad Gita written as an English poem with rhyme,
every verse in the Gita converted into English verses, all ending with rhyme.
Just as Thirukkural was converted into English rhyming verses by Pope, long back.
