Pranam Q1 There was a big article without reading it, one writes adopting some archives that vinayaka suklam; from where those lines in the veda taken?; are there any inquisitiveness?; why does Mahabharatham Vishnu sahasranamam not have that verse but today every CD has?. Gajananam denotes Ganesa but does it denote the Adi God of Nirodha impediments?; even elsewhere I read that in Kaliyuga mamsam is prohibited for shraddham as if it was permitted in the earlier yugas. Anartha-writings , without knowing the significance, pushes some into garbage. Yanaikku yarram ente gudiraikku gurram kadandi. Writing is right but it is subjective. Suklam is later modern invention .
मां स भक्षयिताऽमुत्र यस्य मांसमिहाद् म्यहम् । एतत्मांसस्य मांसत्वं प्रवदन्ति मनीषिणः ॥ ५५ ॥chap 6 part 5 verse 55 Manusmrithi *māṃ sa bhakṣayitā'mutra yasya māṃsamihād myaham* | *etatmāṃsasya māṃsatvaṃ pravadanti manīṣiṇaḥ* || 55 || ‘Me he (māṃ-sa) will devour in the next world, whose meat I eat in this’—this is the ‘meatness’ (māṃsatva) of the ‘meat’ (māṃsa), as the wise ones declare.—(55). Mamsam eating is permitted to some varna and taboo is only for the satvics. SradhM IS PERFORMED BY THE bRAHMIN vARNA; THITHI GIVING IS CARRIED OUT BY OTHER VARNAS; where the rules of Sraddham (niyama) are performed and executed they are all Brahmin Varna; and even Brahmin by birth but did it otherwise belongs to the set of rules for the other varnas; so anything discussed if analysed and written it will be aprasadam to others .
