present atthe base of Shivalinga, Vishnu in the middle and the upper part is

Q8 Why do parents desire for a son?
A8 There are religious, social as well aseconomic reasons behind the desire of
a son. Right from the moment of birth, aperson is burdened with three kinds of
debts. These are debts due for the gods,debts due for the sages and debts due
for the father. One can easily freehimself from his debts, which are due for
the gods and for the sages.
But to be free from the debts duefor the father, one must have a son.The
scriptures say that unless anduntil a real son performs last rites, a person
cannot be saved from thetortures of the hell
Q9 What are the days and time prescribed for human sexual activity?
A9Accordingly, after the menses, intercourse should be carried out on
anyauspicious moment on days except the fourth, eighth, fourteenth and
moonlessand full moon nights.
Even onthese ten days, if a festival or full moon and moonless nights
fall,intercourse must be postponed. Positions of the Sun and the Moon on these
daysare such that their combined effects influence profoundly the human
psychologyand the movement of fluids in the body.
Even a child that a woman bears, on full moonand moonless nights may carry
these defects like having two heads, a tail, fourhands, joint bodies or
psychological defects like being cruel, daredevils,murderers etc
Even atnight, time from nine to twelve is most conducive that to at least one
andhalf-hours after taking dinner.
Intercourse is strictlyprohibited at twilight of dawn and dusk
Ravanan is one such profound example. Despite being a Brahmin by birth,
hedeveloped demonic virtues for his parents had an intercourse at twilight
Q10 What is vaitarni Godana?
A10 Donating a cow at the time of death ensures aplace in heaven. It is said
that in the way of Yamapuri, there lies aformidable river Vaitarni in which
foamy blood flows. Fearsome serpents thatabound in that river bite all those
who cross it.
But holding the tail of a cowleads one easily across the river because in her
tail stays the religionand no one can dare to challenge religion.
Q11 What is the importance of peepal tree?
A11 According to Skand Purana, Lord Vishnuresides in the root of Peepal. In
its trunk live Keshav and in the branchesNarayan, in its leaves Hari and in its
fruits live all the other gods. Thusfrom the tip of its root to the top of its
shoot, Peepal is an idol of LordVishnu
Watering Peepal with water andsugar is a sure remedy to undo the adverse
influence of Shani.
Q12 Why it is told to tiea thread around peepal trunk?
A12 There is a practice of tyinga thread around Peepal’s trunk after watering
it. There is a story behind thiscustom. At the time of sea’s churning, Goddess
Lakshmi had emerged from thesea. Her counterpart Alakshmi also had emerged with
her. Alakshmi symbolizedpenury and hence, there was no taker for her. She
begged Lord Vishnu to takeher also with Him. But Lakshmi was not ready to share
Lord Vishnu with her, so sheprotested. Hence Lord Vishnu ordered Alakshmi to
take an abode on Peepal tree.
Since then, Alakshmi lives there. Anytime an unwary devotee forgets totie a
thread around Peepal’s trunk, Alakshmi comes to ride him or her causing great
poverty.That is why custom of tying a thread around Peepal’s trunk after
watering itcame into practice.
Q13 It is told due a curse fromsage Kashyapa Lord Siva had to Kill Ganapathi
made from sandal powder. What wasthe curse and circumstances?
A13 Onceupon a time, Surya had killed the demons, Mali and Sumaali. This
infuriatedLord Shiva because Mali and Sumaali were His devotees. So, Lord Shiva
launchedHis trident on Surya. Theblow of the trident was unbearable for Surya
and he fell from his chariotunconscious.
Seeingthat dire condition of his son, sage Kashyap began to wail in agony. All
thegods soon accompanied him and began to cry mournfully. Without the regular
motion of Surya, thewhole world was plunged in darkness.
Sage Kashyap cursed Lord Shiva that as fromHis trident, his son had been hit,
one day His own son will be decapitated by His trident.
Shiva’s anger subsided soon afterwards. He resurrected Surya butbecause of
Kashyap’s curse, He had to cut the head of His own son.

Dhruv,which was situated
MY note- Sun is also slightly movingaccording to latest studies

MaharshiNandikeshwar was the first originator of Kama Shastra in to various
chapters.Apart from these, great sages like Dattakacharya, Charayana,
Suvarn-namaGhotakmukh, Gonardiya, Gonikaputra and Kuchumar had also contributed
their mitein the evolution and refinement of Kama Shastra. Sage Vatsayan gave

Q16 What is samanya kamaand Vishesha kama?
A16 Samanya Kama(General pleasure): When thesoul wishes to have superficial
pleasures related to sound, sight, smell etc.,The resulting action is Samanya
Kama. With the appearance of the wish, mindcomes into action and stimulates the
related sense organs. Thus activated, thesense organs begin to seek the sources
of pleasures
But to have VisheshKama, one needs a partner for the category of
pleasureinvolves total involvement. In fact superficial pleasure itself lays
thefoundation for total involvement in pleasure. During superficial pleasure,
thesoul seeks more and more satisfaction. Sooner or later, a stage arrives,
whenthe partners cross over all the barriers between them and establish
closeintimate contact
Q17 Was Brihannala wasappointed to teach uttara dance alone?
A17 In Mahabharat, the king ofVirat had appointed Vrihannala (Arjun in eunuch
guise) to teach his daughterUttara in the arts related to Kamasutra
Q18We all claim that Sri Rama's birth place is Ayodhya. In our tradition the
birth of the first child isgenerally at the mother's place, in thiscase - this
should have been at Koushalya's town.
A18 It isbecause Srirama was born after Puthrakameshti yagam performed at
Ayodhya andKoushalya remained at ayodhya.
Q19 Why do we provide Mahavishnu elai inSraddaham?
A19 It is said that without prayers to Maha Vishnu the Karma does not bestowthe
desired results and hence Vishnu Varanam..
It is believed that Puroora and Aardravaare the Shraaddha Samrakshakaas
(protectors) or the escorts to the Pithrus. It isalso believed that Puroora and
Aardrava reside in the Saannidhya of LordMahavishnu and hence as a reverence .
It is our desirethat we feed everyone on the Shraaddham day. Since the entire
universe is believed to be in thestomach of Maha Vishnu, feeding Him is
presumed to feed those in the entireuniverse and hence the Swamy Elai and
Vishnu Varanam
Q20 If there is no male member to perform‘pitru karyam’ How it can be done in a
family?
A20 Then the eligible female is asked tohand over ‘darba’ to the nearest
relative male member to perform therituals who will do it in her behalf on the
power of attorney given by her(authorised to do through handing over of darba).
Our vedas or ancient system is not confined to malesonly. Each ritual the wife
is asked tojoin the rituals done by her husband by proper participation like
touchingthrough ‘darbha’ putting water forofferring ‘dakshina’ etc.
Even sabarimalaallows post menopausal women to dharshan. The unfortunate
naturally designedperiods in women has to keep them away in those days because
it can lead toemotional and hence behavioral problems especially during the
fullmoon andnewmoon {amavasya} days.
Q21 Do the pithrus have physical body toeat?
A21 The pithrus have no physical body to eat ordrink what we offer. But the
bhavana is possible and enough for them to bless{iassure you some of them at
high planes can curse or bless as we deserve}
On the amavasya day, prompted by the planetary proximity to the earth,pithrus
visit our home expecting food and water{this explains the rice andEllu{Til} to
cool after cremation memories of heat and dehydration}
