Dear BhakthAs: I am enclosing a query from a dear Bhakthan of Lord Lakshmi Narasimhan from Bangalore. adiyEn's response is that the Thirumnajanam (AbhishEkam ) for Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan in the PradhOsha Kaalam is not recommended . PradhOsham is early evening (Saayam sandhyA ) and He is recognized as PradhOshakan . Our Lord was born as Nrusimhan to complete His avathAra Kaaryam. During PradhOsham , Mantra UccharaNam , japam are restricted. Mounam (silence ) needs to be observed. The only exception at PradhOsham seems to be the birth of SrI GodhA Sthuthi from Swamy Desikan , when ANDAL went out of Her way to bless the AchAryan with Her darsana SoubhAgyam at SrI VilliputthUr. Swamy broke his mounam during that PradhOsha Kaalam and burst forth into exquisite salutation to Andal , which we treasure as GodhA Sthuthi. Lord Rudran is recognized as "AbhishEka PriyO Siva:". AbhishEkam can be done to Him at any time.Infact many of You mihgt have noticed a pot of water over Siva Lingams that drips slowly on the head of the Lingam to signify abhishElkam . Our Thirumanjanams have Veda Manthrams as a part of the sacred ritual(Purusha Sooktham et al).They can not be recited during PradhOsha Kaalam inview of the restrictions on the recitation of manthrAs. Thirumanjanam on a Svathi day is most auspicious to Lord Narasimhan. Any other PuNya Kaalam is also very appropriate. Other BhakthAs are invited to comment .

I went to my wife native ( she is from Hassam Iyengar Family) place in Shanthigram a place near Chanrayapatna /Hassan. I paid the necessary charges for Thirumanjanam. Now the person incharge informed that He has to check with the learned scholar whether in Agama shastra the thirumanjanam can be done in Sandhya Kala on Pradosha day. Correct me if i am wrong . Lord Narasimha was born on Pradosha day / kala ( Sandhaya kala) and is there anything wrong in performing Thirumanjanam in Evening. >> >>Your clarification in this regard will be helpful to me. >> >>I have postponed the thirumanjanam to next pradosha day pending clarification. >> ------------------------ Yahoo!
