Emperor Prithu's Anga Archana



I happened to notice something interesting. Usually Anga pooja is to think of each limb or organ of Bhagavan or Devi and do pooja to each of the limbs or organ. But instead of Anga pooja, Emperor Prithu (because of whom Bhoomi got the name Prithwi) did Anga Archana. This means he imagined each of his own limb or organ as a lotus or kamalam and did archana or offering of those lotuses at the Lotus feet of Bhagavan. (This is different from Anga Pooja which is the worship of Lord. Anga Archana is offering ourselves organ by organ at the feet of Lord.)

Given below are the small manthraas that can be used to offer all angaas and finally ourselves at the feet of the Lord. It is said that when we have ailments of any specific part of our body, we can offer prayer specific to that part and do archana. Repeated chanting of the particular naamam and archana with real flowers or sankalpa pushppam (imaginary lotus flowers) is very auspicious to cure the ailment. What given below is for Vishnu or Krishna. We can change the naamam and do to each one's Ishtadevatha. Emperor Prithu was a great devotee of Bhagavaan and he offered to Lord Krishna.

Shathaabishekam

6/21/08 When is Shathaabhishekam celebrated? When it should be celebrated? We have heard about different versions of when it should be celebrated, when you complete 84 years, or when you complete 81 years and 10 months or when you complete 83 years 4 months. Shathaabhishekam is celebrated when a person sees 1000 full moons lives through 1000 full moons in his life. Since it is a mathematical calculation, there should only be one answer. Then how are we having all these three answers? (It really does not matter when you celebrate, but out of curiosity to know the reason behind the celebration, I did some research and I thought some people may share my curiosity. Of all the explanations I read I liked the one given below.)   Here is a convincing explanation based mainly on a question -answer series in Bhakthapriya magazine published by Guruvayur devaswom. For clarity, I am trying to express it as mathematically as possible.   Number of full moons in one year = 12   So n

16 names of Lord Vishnu

16 names of Lord Vishnu 4/26/08 These are 16 names of Vishnu to be remembered at different occasions. It is said that sabda (sabda), sparsha (touch), roopa (form), rasa (taste), gandha (smell) and the positive energy or vibration coexist with words. Repeated chanting of each word with bhava creates different results in our body since effort to utter each word uses different muscles and brings different effect in the saadhaka. Chanting can be done like in the naamaavali: Om Vishnave Nama:, Om Janaaardanaaya nama:, Om padmanaabhaaya nama: etc. We will try to analyze the meaning of each name. May be Vishunsahasranama interpretaions will help us. . When taking medicine think of Vishnu Before eating think of Janaardana Before going to bed think of Padmanaabha During marriage think of Prajaapathi During fight or controversial situations think Chakradhara When you are away from home or NRIs like lot of us think of Thrivikrama At the time of death try to think of Naarayana When you are wi
