Question : Bhagavad Ra:ma:nuja's divine feet / pa:dukas in his temples are referred to as "ba:sarathi" or "Mudaliya:nda:n" in all places except in one sannidhi. Which sannidhi and how is that called there? Posted On : 05-05-2018 ANSWER : In Tirumala Bhagavad Ramanujas padhuka are called Anata:zhva:n Note : Bhagavad Ra:ma:nuja wanted to offer regular flower service to Lord Srinivasa of Tirumala. But it was dense forest at that time. He needed a volunteer from his disciples who could go to Tirumala and stay-put there, build a garden, and offer flower garlands to the Lord as nithya kainkaryam (regular service). People were afraid of doing that. However, Anantha:cha:ryulu / Anantha:zhwa:n, in spite of his old age, offered to stay at Tirumala and fulfill the desire of his guru. As a staunch disciple, he wanted to fulfill a:cha:rya's wish all by himself without any assistance. Seeing him struggle to dig a garden, Lord himself came down disguised as a small boy and insisted that He will help Anantha:zhwan. When the boy would not go after telling many times not to interfere in his work, Anantha:zhwa:n threw the crowbar at the boy to scare him away. The boy ran away and disappeared into the main sanctum of temple. Anantha:zhwa:n and local priests noticed that blood was dripping from the chin of deity, from the place where the small boy was hit by crowbar. Anantha:zhwa:n felt very sad that he did not recognize the Lord when He came to him. They quickly offered camphor to the deity on chin, to take care of that injury. Lord offered a boon that as a mark of respect to Anantha:zhwa:n, he will wear the camphor / karpu:ram mark on his chin forever. Even today, when we visit Tirumala temple, we can see the crowbar that was used by Anantha:zhwa:n hanging near the sanctum. |

Question : When we go to Peruma:l temples, after we get ti:rtham, the priest places the divine feet of God (made in shape of a small crown) on our head. What is that crown-like thing called? Posted On : 04-05-2018 ANSWER : Sathako:pam or Satha:ri Note : Namma:zhwa:r is known with that name - Sathako:pam or Satha:ri. As he thought of Lord's divine feet when he attained parama padam, he became Lord's feet. So whenever we are offered Satha:ri in Peruma:l temple after ti:rtham, we bow down with utmost respect as we are getting touch with Lord's feet or Namma:zhwar himself (bhagavat-pa:da sambandham). If we go to a sannidhi where the main deity is Namma:zhwar himself (and not Peruma:l), then the pa:dukas or divine feet of Namma:zhwar are referred to as "Ra:ma:nujam". That is because Bhagavad Ra:ma:nuja is considered as the divine feet of Namma:zhwar. If we go to a sannidhi where the main deity is Bhagavad Ra:ma:nuja, then the pa:dukas or divine feet of A:cha:rya Ra:ma:nuja are referred to as "Da:sarathi" or "Mudaliya:nda:n". That brings us to today's question... |
