Pranam
Q and A 10322
Q7 CNNpad ; Era 1428 at Kerala; an authority means a scholar in that
subject but definitely not a pioneer since all those were rendered well in
agama and mathematics long ago since 6000 BCE or at least 3000 BCE.
2 ” The science of Vastu is believed as part of the Indian
architecture. Vastu Shastra developed during the period of 6000 BC and 3000
BC and the ancient Indian text (328 pages) *Mayamatam (**मयमतम* *The*
Mayamatam is a Vāstuśāstra, i.e. a treatise on dwelling and as such it
deals with all the facets of gods' and mens' dwellings, from the choice of
the site to the iconography of the temple walls. It contains numerous and
precise descriptions of the villages and towns as well as of the temples,
houses, mansions and palaces. It gives indications for the selection of a
proper orientation, right dimensions and of appropriate materials. Well
thought of by traditional architects (sthapatis) of south India, the
treatise is of great interest at a time when technical traditions, in all
fields, are being scrutinized for their possible modern application.)
represents
Vastu Purusha as the presiding deity for all land structure meant for
temples or houses. Vastu Purusha Mandala is the metaphysical plan of a
temple incorporating course of the heavenly bodies and supernatural forces.
This Mandala square is divided into (8×8 =64) 64 metaphysical grids /
modules or pada for temples. (For dwelling places 9×9=81 metaphysical grids
/ modules or pada).
3 In Vastu-śāstra
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shastra#vastushastra> they are nearly
unanimously identified with the divinities whose names are shown in the
border of the Figure appended in the end—vide Appendix A, following the
‘Bṛhatsaṃhitā, LIL 43f. The evidence of the Samarāṅgaṇasūtradhāra
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/samaranganasutradhara#vastushastra> and
the Mānasāra <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/manasara#vastushastra> would
be just following. The place occupied by anything in the present, is in
the residue of the past. The name of Vāstu, derived from Vastu, a really
existing thing, signified residence as well as residue (S. B. I. 7.3.
18-19).” { tha last line is also a a thought of Indian cyclic mentioned
here, reproduced in his book RAE DELIOS PRINCIPLES SENT BY TNC R TODAY}.
4 “Further the lines are not mere geometrical connections; their
prototype has the measure of Breath; they have direction and width; ( THIS
IS EXACTLY THE MATHEMATIC DERIVED BY THE Narayana pad) while they form a
net cast over the plot, they also share in its extent, represent it in an
aliquot ratio and their points of intersection are the vital parts and
tender spots (marina) of the site. These must not be hurt or interfered
with by setting up pillars, doors, or walls, on them.”
The places which must not be encroached upon by doors, walls or pillars,
beams, etc. and windows (gavākṣa
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/gavaksha#hinduism>, vātāyana
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vatayana#hinduism>;Br.S. Comm.; LIL 57*,
‘Samaraṅgaṇasūtradhāra’, XIII. 10-16),* at the concurrence of the lines
(sūtra) are listed on p. 55. (The ‘*Bṛhat-Saṃhitā
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/brihatsamhita#hinduism>’* enumerates
9 specially vulnerable spots (atimarma) and gives the proportionate size of
the tender spots (Marma). These are grouped according to their importance
and specified in the later texts according to the lines which meet,
diagonals and orthogonals, and their number, at each respective crossing.
The size of a vulnerable spot is given in the ‘Bṛhat
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/brihat#hinduism>-Saṃhitā
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/samhita#hinduism>’ as ⅛ (1/8th) of a
square (the whole plot being divided into 81 squares). The ‘
Samarāṅgaṇa-sūtradhāra
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/samaranganasutradhara#vastushastra>’
however gives to the conjunction of 8 vaṃśas
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vamsha#hinduism> (= 8 stūras [sūtras
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sutras#hinduism>?], at their meeting
point) the extent of the tip of a hair (bālāgra
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/balagra#hinduism>); that is, the
concurrence is just a point. The ⅛ (1/8th) of a small square of the ‘Bṛhat
Saṃhitā <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/brihatsamhita#hinduism>’ does
not correspond to the actual extent of ‘marma’; it appears more as a
parcelled plot with the concurrence of the lines in its centre and agreed
upon to be ⅛ (1/8th) of that of the small square. In the
‘Samarāṅgaṇasūtradhāra’, the ‘sandhi
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sandhi#hinduism>’ or conjection of
lines has no magnitude. It is a point to be avoided when determining, the
position of the middle of door openings, pillars etc.) They are avoided by
shifting for example the position of the respective parts of the building,
to the right of the vulnerable points. Similarly also nothing (no dravya
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/dravya#hinduism>’) may be placed on
the border or middle lines and the consequences are serious too, though not
fatal, if the other orthogonal and the 2 diagonals are infringed (ib. XII.
23-36). ( mathematics of Narayana pad) The earlier texts however limit the
tender spots to the concurrences of lines: (Br.S. LII. 57;
‘Viṣṇudharmottara’, Pt. II. ch. XXIX. 45-46). The spots which are the most
vulnerable and which must be avoided with great care, are in and around the
Brahmasthāna
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/brahmasthana#vastushastra>, the
centre of the square.
5 A temple is fundamentally made of human body. It has been divided into
five sections as Legs, Anus, Stomach, Heart (Mind) and Middle of Forehead.
The five sections have direct meaning relating human bodies. The legs are
the entrance for spiritual feelings and it is constructed with tallest
building (Raja Gopuram ). A flag tree (Kodi Maram) is placed at anus to
remind: that the freedom of body is important to reach the spiritual goal.
The following stage contains a pot (Pali Pedam) showing the sacrificing
importance and based on the scarification (vegetarian or non-vegetarian)
the heart creates the character of mind. Usually the heart (Bagawan )
section contains animal symbols like cow/lion/elephant to indicate that
human mind is almost like animals. The mind itself should have been
controlled to create the path of wisdom. The wisdom is gained at the middle
of forehead (Netrikan) which is named as third eye. Normally the Hindus’
gods/goddesses statues will be placed here and made a tiny hole at the roof
to let the sun shine to reach the statue as how lord Shiva’s third eye
shines. The planetary worship is always located at the right hand side from
entrance. It is not included in the main structure. The meaning of
planetary (nine) worship is shown that they are watching this human body
and they have a communicator (heart) to control the body based on past
karma. The planetary movements give different minds so human behaves
according to it. This is how the good or bad characters are given to human.
6 Thus Mr Narayana pad is an authority as well read the ancient texts
and transcribed it all in a book which perhaps Kerala read it for the first
time. As Ray formula in a book attracted a few, so too this talent might
have attracted a few. At the same time his contribution is not undermined
but he followed the ancient scriptures. Apart from this, there are many
more treatises which I am not quoting here and the work of Nambudripad was
only in the 15th century AD.

Q8 *The *shastras* in Sanskrit Hindu literature are the textbooks of
religious and legal duty. *Shastra* literally means “rule, command, code of
laws, science,” and these works focus on many different subjects, including
the three principal goals for human beings: *dharma* (law), *artha* (wealth,
profit, business, or property), and *kama* (passion, desire, pleasure).
The *Dharmashastra* concerns *dharma*, a concept that incorporates the
nature of the world, eternal or cosmic law, and social law, applied to
rituals and life-cycle rites, procedures for resolving disputes, and
penalties for violations of these rules; the *Arthashastra* concerns
economic affairs; and the *Kamashastra* concerns love generally and
pleasure in particular. (The best known of its component works in the
Western world is the *Kama sutra*, though contrary to popular belief, it is
not a “sex book”). These texts are composed of books from individual
schools of Vedic and Sanskrit commentary, each school often contributing a
sutra named for the school. The *Dharmashastra* includes the following
*dharmasutras:
Gautama, Baudhayana, Apastamba, Vasishtha, Vishnu,* and *Vikhanas*, as well
as the metrical *Laws of Manu.
*The shastras, including the *Dharmashastra,* are classified as *smriti*, a
word indicating “what is remembered,” as distinct from the *Vedas* and the *
Upanishads* [q.v.], which are *shruti*, “what is heard.” The *Vedas* and
the *Upanishads* are considered to be divinely perceived—that is, the early
seers were held to have perceived eternal truths—and the *Dharmashastra*,
as well as other *smriti* texts, are the thoughts and explanations of Hindu
scholars in response to the *shruti* books. Chronologically, the sutras of
the *Dharmahshastra* follow sometime after the Vedic period, but these
works have been notoriously difficult to date. Most scholars agree,
however, that the first three sutras from which selections are included in
this volume, *Gautama, Apastamba*, and *Vasishtha*, fall sometime between
the 6th century B.C.** and the 1st century B.C., while the *Laws of
Manu* probably
date from between about 200 B.C. to 200 A.D. From the time of their
composition, the works of the *Dharmashastra* have played a significant
role in influencing Hindu culture and law. In fact, the *shastras* were
still being cited in cases of legal contracts as late as the mid-19th
century in some regions of India.*
The sea voyagers, the “Samudra langhana” were among the chief cause
as declared to loss of Brahmin’s upper-caste which was very cautious about
the maintenance of their social status according to the Baudhyana
Dharmasutra. The reasons behind the proscription include the inability to
carry out the daily rituals of traditional Hindu life and the sin of
contact with the characterless, uncivilized milecha creatures of the
foreign lands. An associated notion was that crossing the ocean entailed
the end of the reincarnation cycle, as the traveller was cut off from the
regenerating waters of the Ganges. Such voyages also meant breaking family
and social ties. In another respect, the inhabitants of the land beyond the
"black water" were bad-spirited and monstrous swine who could sometimes
mask their true ugliness by presenting an illusion of physical beauty or
superiority. Therefore, it was thought that true Hindus should not come
under their influence or embrace their beliefs, as they will be just as
deserving of contempt as a milecha. In the eighteenth century, the banias
of North India even considered the crossing of the Indus River at Attock to
be prohibited and underwent purification rituals upon their return.
Apastamba Dharmasutra It is a Sanskrit text and one of the oldest
Dharma-related texts of Hinduism that have survived into the modern age
from the 1st-millennium BCE. It is one of three extant Dharmasutras texts
from the Taittiriya school of Krishna Yajurveda, the other two being
Baudhayana Dharmasutra and Hiranyakesin Dharmasutra. The Dharmasutra is
attributed to Apastamba, the founder of a Shakha (Vedic school) of
Yajurveda. According to the Hindu tradition, Apastamba was the student of
Baudhayana, and himself had a student named Hiranyakesin. The Apastamba
Dharmasutra is notable for placing the importance of the Veda scriptures
second and that of samayacarika or mutually agreed and accepted customs of
practice first. Apastamba proposes that scriptures alone cannot be a source
of Law (dharma), and dharma has an empirical nature. Gautama
DharmasutraIt is part of Apastamba Kalpasutra collection, along with
Apastamba Shrautasutra and Apastamba Grihyasutra. It is one of the best
preserved ancient texts on Dharma.
Gautama Dharmasutra is a Sanskrit text and likely one of the oldest
Hindu Dharmasutras (600- 200 BCE), whose manuscripts have survived into the
modern age. The Gautama Dharmasutra was composed and survives as an
independent treatise, unattached to a complete Kalpa-sutras, but like all
Dharmasutras it may have been part of one whose Shrauta- and Grihya-sutras
have been lost to history. The text belongs to Samaveda schools, and its
26th chapter on penance theory is borrowed almost completely from
Samavidhana Brahmana layer of text in the Samaveda. The text is notable for
its broad-minded and liberal views on women and all social classes. It is
also notable for mentioning and citing views of ten ancient experts on
Dharma, which has led scholars to conclude that there existed a rich genre
of Dharmasutras text in ancient India before this text was composed.
Vashistha Dharmasutra It is one of the few surviving ancient Sanskrit
Dharmasutras of Hinduism. It is reverentially named after a Rigvedic sage
Vashistha who lived in the 2nd millennium BCE, but the text was probably
composed by unknown authors between 300 BCE – 100 CE. It forms an
independent text and other parts of the Kalpasūtra, that is Shrauta- and
Grihya-sutras are missing. Like the dozens of other texts in this genre,
the Vashistha Dharmasutra is a treatise on Dharma that discusses duties,
responsibilities and ethics to oneself, to family and as a member of
society. This Dharmasūtra is likely of a later date than the Gautama and
Baudhayana Dharmasutras that have also survived. In short these ar main
Dharma, sastra, sutra and grhya sutra and many more are available to read.

Q9 Suruttapalli SHIVA appearance of VISHNU style: Pallikondeswara
Temple: Lord Shiva is usually displayed in linga form in any of the Vedic
temples or Shiva temples. Like Sri Mahavishnu, there is a shrine where Lord
Shiva is seen sleeping. This vegetarian temple is located in our Telugu
state. Sarvamangaladevi is a rare temple located in the lap of Lord Shiva.
The shrine where Lord Shiva resides Surathu School is a village in
Nagalapuram district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
Halahalam was first born when angels were boiled in milk for nectar. While
the halahalam was burning the worlds, the frightened zealots cried out to
God to save the worlds. To save the worlds, Lord Shiva swallowed the poison
of that time and hid it in his throat. Sri Maha Vishnu Karlam was in the
throat with a tiny body without going into the stomach. The venom stayed in
the throat and the whole area turned blue. From then on Lord Shiva was
called Neelakandudi and Sri Maha Vishnu was called Neelimeka Shyamuni. Lord
Shiva, suffering from poison, lay on the lap of Goddess Parvati.
Suraganamantha reached Suradapalli to go to Neelakandudi. Nandeeswarar
said that Parameswarar was in the shrine. Knowing this, Lord Shiva arose
and appeared to the gods. All the gods danced with joy. According to the
Shiva Purana, the Saptarishis and the gods visited Parameswaran on Krishna
Paksha Triyodasi. The name 'Surulapalli' came from the place where the curls
appeared. Over time, the area came to be known as the Surat School. It is
said that seeing Lord Shiva asleep gives an indescribable feeling.
Temple Visiting Hours:
Devotees believe that on Saturday, the third day of Krishna Paksha, the
deities will come to pay homage to Pallikondeswara Swami on the occasion of
Mahapradosha and if they perform darshan today, they will get the mercy of
all the deities. According to the Shiva Purana, fifteen thousand deities
were worshiped at this place when Lord Shiva swallowed the halakala.
Devotees here worship Parameswara as Neelakandudi and Srikanth and
Nanjundaswamy as this Pallikondeswara Swami.
Panchamirta anointing .. get health. Milk anointing .. get longevity.
Yogurt anointing .. Get fertility. Sandalwood anointing .. Lakshmikadaksham
will join. It is the belief of the devotees that marriage can be achieved
by seeing Swami. Marriage life will be happy for the married people. Swami
Pallikondeswarar was worshiped by fifteen thousand deities for Lord Shiva.
Purchased Soil Curry School. Here Sri Mehta Datsinamoorthy Swami is on the
scale. Worshiping him brings significant educational access. The temple is
famous for the worship of Sri Nandeswara during the Pradosa period.
Devotees do not see the idol of Lord Shiva sleeping on the lap of Goddess
Parvati. At a height of fourteen feet, we get a glimpse of this rare
sleeping Lord Shiva. Surrounded by Brahma Vishnu, Sun and Moon, Narada
Thumburas, Indra, Kuberan, Markandeyar, Agasthiyar, Bulastiyar, Valmiki,
Vishwamitri and other sages, Lord Shiva is seen reclining on the lap of
Sarvamangaladevi.
The temple is located on the banks of the Aruna River on the
Tirupati-Chennai National Highway. The school is famous for the Kondeswara
Swamy Temple. The temple was built between 1344-47 by the Vijayanagara
ruler Harihara Bukharai. Inscriptions on the walls of the temple indicate
that it was renovated in 1833 by the Srikalahasti princes. Realizing the
significance of this temple, Sri Kanchi Kamkodi Pitapati Sri Jayendra
Chandrasekara Saraswati Swami conducted the Mahakumbabhishekam here in
1979. At that time, Chandrasekara Saraswati himself said that he had the
privilege of seeing Lord Shiva in this temple.The temple is located at a
distance of 73 km from Tirupati towards Chennai and 68 km from Chennai to
Tirupati. It is located on the Chennai-Tirupati National Highway. The
temple can be reached by APSRTC buses from Tirupati to Satyavedu.
Suruthapalli is a small village so there is not much accommodation here.
The temple hut has five rooms. You can stay in these cottages by paying
rent when these are vacant. Getting to the Thirumalai Tirupati Temple by
daily bus is free. You can take this bus for free from Tirupati to reach
this temple. Contact the temple phone number 07382005038 for details.

"கணிகண்ணன் போகின்றான் காமருபூங்கச்சி மணிவண்ணா நீ கிடக்கவேண்டா - துணிவுடைய
செந்நாப்புலவனும் போகின்றேன் நீயுமுன்றன் பைந்நாகப்பாய்சுருட்டிக்கொள்" 'என்

வேலை. நீயும் உன் பாம்புப் பாயைச் சுருட்டிக்கொண்டு என் பின்னாலேயே வா" என்பது
இதன் பொருள்.

MUHURTA IS 48 MINUTES NOT 2 HOURS. Muhūrta (मुहूर्त).—A measurement of
time; thirty *kalas* making a day and a night, a muhūrta; 15 for day and 15
for night on an equinoctial day; 45 *kalas* one muhūrta; 15 muhūrtas make a
day exactly in Viṣuvat; division of day into units of three muhūrtas; those
of the afternoon are Raudra, Sārpa, Maitra, Pitṛya, Vāsava, Āpya,
Vaiśvadeva and Brāhma; those of the day are Prājāpatya, Indra, Indrāgni,
Nirṛti, Vāruṇa, Aryamana, and Bhaga; these are to be calculated according
to the shadow cast by a gnomon; the muhūrtas of the night are the Ajaikapad,
Ahirbudhnya, Pūṣāśvi, Yama, Āgneya, Prājāpatya, Saumya, Āditya,
Bārhaspatya, Vaiṣṇava, Sāvitra, Tvāṣṭra, Vāyavya and Samgraha; time
reckoned by the movement of the moon Kṛṣṇa born in the Vijayamuhūrta; the
eighth muhūrta said to be kutapa, auspicious for beginning any activity;
the sun becomes *manda* or inactive then. ( 24*60/30= 48minutes per
muhurtam). Muhūrta (मुहूर्त) refers to “forty-eight minutes”, according to
the Arcana-dīpikā (manual on deity worship).—One *daṇḍa* comprises
twenty-four minutes, and two *daṇḍas*, or forty-eight minutes, comprise one
*muhūrta*. In one complete day of twenty-four hours, there are thirty
*muhūrtas*. In the last part of the night, the segment of time consisting
of the two *muhūrtas* (one hour and thirty-six minutes) before sunrise, is
called *aruṇodaya*, or dawn. The first of these two *muhūrtas* is called
the *brāhma-muhūrta*. This *brāhma-muhūrta* is the most beneficial time of
the day for the cultivation of spiritual life. KR IRS 10322
