A4 Legend has it that on LordKrishna's Swargarohana (ascension to Vaikunta) the idol of Lord which was worshipped by Lord Krishnahimself was given to Uddhavawhoin turn was to entrust it to Brihaspathi(Devaguru) for installation in asuitable place. Devaguru along with Vayu with thehelp of Parasurama found a suitable place which at that time was the abode ofLord Shiva and Parvathi. Lord Shiva agreed that this was the suitable place toinstall the idol and agreed to move to a place called Mammiyoor which is onekilometer away. The place is called Guruvayoorsince Guru and Vayu installed the idol. Since Lord Shiva agreed to moveaway, to give place to Lord Krishna, the pilgrimage to Guruvayoor is considered incompletewithout a visit to the Mammiyoor Mahadevar temple. It is said that Vishwakarma, thedivine architect built Guruvayoortemple. Itis designed in such a way that on Vishu day, the first rays of the Sun fallstraight on to the Lord's feet Q5 What is the verson of Sakunthala storytold in Mahabharatha?

Vexed with this Haressment Indraand other Gods approached lord Krishna and pleaded with him to prevent themfrom the demon Narakasura. Satyabhama appealed to krishna to give her the golden chance to destroyNarakasura, as Narakasura was given a curse that he would be killed by a woman. Krishna granted her a boon tofight with Narakasura, with Krishna as charioter. Satyabhama entered thebattlefield and killed Demon Narakasura.

Q8 What is the Science underlying lighting ofa lamp in front of the basil plant (Tulsi) in the evening? A8 The evening time is considered to be thetime of arrival of the Lakshmi Principle in the Vastu. Tulsiis essentially Sattvik. Principles of various Deities are attracted to thebasil plant (Tulsi). By lighting a lamp infront of the basil plant (Tulsi), the Purity (Sattvikta) in it is activated. This Purity(Sattvikta) spreads in the environment present in the Vastu and purifies it. The frequencies of LakshmiPrinciple are attracted to the flame of the lamp kept in front of the basilplant (Tulsi) in the purified environment and enter the Vastu. This alsopurifies the Vastu and a protective sheath of Pure (Sattvik) frequencies of theDeities is created around the Vastu. At the same time, because of theAbsolute Fire (Tej-tattva) frequencies emitted by the lamp, the Vastu and thoseresiding in it are protected from the negative energies circulating in theenvironment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
