Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
29. Q .: I heard that Srivaru's Janma nakshatra is "Sravanam" But the starting letters of Name, one who have born under Sravana Nakshatra is "Khee, Khoo, Khe, Kho" Is in any name of the lord starts with these letters. Kindly clarify.
Ans .: The incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Venkateswara in Kaliyuga. Bhadrapada Month, Sukla Paksham, Dwadasi Tithi, Sravana Nakshatram, Monday, Siddha Yogam Lord Vishnu selfmanifested as archavathara murthy at Tirumala Hills.
Naming according to letters for a particular Nakshatram comes under Samskaras (That means set of rituals that must be performed to a person who born in a particular community, for example Astadasa(18) Samskaras in Vaikhanasa Agamam). So clearly this naming convention do not apply to Lord Venkateswara as he is the ruler of this universe. As Humans will have the effect of planets on them they are bound to follow this convention according to Sanathana Dharma.
Regarding the naming conventions or for any other purpose to use Panchangam I will personally only follow one rule That is whatever Panchangam is for my Lord Venkateswara i will take that as Pramana for my requirements. Because if u dwell deep looking for the right ones as this is a big ocean one cann't find so easily the right one. So whatever is followd for our Lord, let us follow that.
Infact it is not compulsory to name according to a set of letters belong to that Nakshatra and is clearly specified in Sasthras. This convention is actually followed to know by name to which Nakshatra a particular person belongs to.
30. Q .: I have seen Padala mantapam near alipiri, which is operated by Kodandaramaswamy temple. I have also seen Padala mantapam on the top of a hill where one can touch the feet, and no archakas present there. the padalu at the top of hill are very small; whereas the padalu at alipiri are big. Can you through some light; which are real one?
Which are the real dashavataras ?
:
Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Nrisimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna,
Blarama / Budha,
Kalki.
I also heard that No. 8 is have the storng attachement with Lord Krishna. like,
He born on Ashtami (8th) day,
He has Eight wives etc.,
If balaram is under considertion of Dashavataras; He is elder to Krishna and comes as eigth avatara.
Ans .: Both of them are real padalu and size doesn't matter.
Real dasavatharas are,
Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parasurama, Rama, Balarama, Krishna and Kalki. Theres no Buddha in Dasavatharas.
The Speciality of Dwapara yuga is Lord Vishnu at a time incarnated in two avathars as brothers Balarama and Krishna.
31. Q .: I have seen Venkateswara mahatyam; wherin they showed that Lakshmi mata incarnates in a muslim family and marries to Lord Srinivasa. Is this right story ?
Ans .: The story that is shown in the film is created just to bring Balaji popular amoung other communities. It is a folk story and might be created when India is being ruled by Muslim Rulers to avoid invasions at Tirumala Temple. There's no clear evidence for this story of 'Bibi Nanchari' ('Bibi' or 'Bivi' means 'Wife' and 'Nancharamma' is taken from 'Nacchiyar'(tamil) meaning the consort of Lord Vishnu). But some Muslims still believe that this happened and they visit Tirumala regularly. Every Tuesday 'Swarna Pushparchana' or 'Astadala Pada Padmaradhana' is performed to Mulavirat of Lord Balaji where in 108 names of Balaji are recited while offering Gold pushpams. These 108 Gold pushpams were donated by a Muslim named 'Sayyad Mirza' of Hyderabad. He also donated two Mangala Sutrams to the processional deities Sridevi and Bhudevi which is still in use everyday during Kalyanotsavam of Balaji.
