Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs

pApa tacchAnthi hEthu-dhrusE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who knew about the sins arising
from unfitness to perform KarmAs and the
reasons for parihArams against them .
The fitness to perform Bhagavath AarAdhanam
arises from the cleanliness of
the adhikAri .The assembled material should
not have any dhOshams . The person
performing the AarAdhanam should also be
considered as an upakaraNam
( items assembled for AarAdhanam) .
Therefore , he should be clean and have
the fitness & qualifications
(Yogyathai) to perform AarAdhanam . A Thief and
one who lusts after women is not allowed to touch the Lord . There are
32 trespasses that are to be avoided so that one has fitness to do
AarAdhanam :
1) union with a woman before AarAdhanam (2)
asoucham and becoming
unclean (3) seeing a dead body (4) touching
a corpse (5) going to cemetry
ground (6) performing ultimate rites (7)
coming in to contact with a dog
(8) eating anything and every thing (9)not
cleaning one's teeth (10) wearing
black or red clothing (11) shaking the
clothes (12) being angry (13) using
one hand for salutations (14) insulting
BhagavathAs (15) worshipping in
darkness (16) apAna vaayu release during
aarAdhanam (17) speaking
without any need and other
things like these , which are MahA
aparAdhams that will disqualify one
from performing AarAdhanam.
If these trespasses happen , then one
should perfrom prAyascchittham
to requalify one to perform AarAdhanam. One
has to seek pardon from
the Lord . ApachArams should not be
repeated .
