RE: [sv-rituals] Significance of NAmam

SrI: NamO Narayana: Dear Smt. Gita / Vaidhehi / Nappinnai: There are few theories for your question. 1. Perumal first, stands as an example, to show us as a Sri Vaishnava, hence he sports Thiruman Sri Choornam. [Lets avoid the common term "NamAm" and refer this with reverence as Thiruman and Sri Choornam or Urdhva Pundaram only]. 2. Sriya:Pathi Sriman Narayanan, in his unending karunyam and sowlabhyam, wanted to have "Samasrayanam" done on him by Bhagavad Ramanuja and came in the form on a boy and had Pancha Samskaram done by none other than the greatest Acharya. Hence, as one undergone Pancha Samskaram, Perumal sports Thiruman and Sri Choornam. However, it is generally referred that in Sri Vaikuntam Perumal as Para Vasudevan sports Kasturi Thilakam, while His Archa Thirumeni sports Urdhva Pundaram. Hope this 2 cents worth sharing by AdiyEn dispels your Doubts. dAsan Anand Sampathkumar 10th April 2002 Srimad Azhagia Singar Thiruvadigale Saranam Shrimate Shri Seetha Ramachandra Parabrahmane Nama: -----Original Message----- From: vaidhehi_nc [mailto:vaidhehi@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 02:25 To: sv-rituals@yahoogroups.com Subject: [sv-rituals] Significance of NAmam Dear All, I am gita(alias vaidhehi/nappinnai)already introduced myself from my other acc(nappinnai_nc@y...). My fundamental doubt is: Why should PerumAL wear His own feet on His forehead(or rather why should we put nAmam on Him)? Can anyone clarify my doubt? NAmam(be it Thenkalai/Vadakalai) basically represents:white lines- PerumAL's pAdam & red/yellow line - Sri.
