Fwd: Rama Navami

From the Bhakti List Archives

Srinath Venkatakrishnan • April 13, 2003 


Dear Srivaishnavaites,
Further to the above doubt i have few more doubts for which i seek your clarification.

Vedas-Question1
When we go to any upanyasakas or read their writings about Vedas, they tell 
Stories with some characters. We beleive that Vedas were prior to everything 
but then how come we have these stories?

Vedas-Question2
Vedas does not refer Lord in sitting, standing,relaxing postures. How come we 
have installations in temple with all these postures? What authority is there
 for this? Or have we done anything against vedas?

Other questions
1. We make paanagam, butter milk and payatham paruppu etc for 
Rama Navami. Why? In north they do not do these?
2. Panagam and Kesari for Narasimha jayanthi.
3. Salt seedai and Sweet seedai etc for Gokulashtami..
whereas in north or Gujarat where krishna was born, they do not do all these?
Is there any significance for all these or is it a local individualised 
versions?. 
Thanks,
Srinath
