 FOREWORD

Sriman Sunder Kidambi, tiruvad . i of śrı̄mad tirukkud

. andai an.d. avan, is very well
known to the āstika community in many continents. Over the past few years, Sriman Sunder
Kidambi has been serving the global āstika community tirelessly through his kaiṅkaryams to
create, populate and grow his extraordinary website www.prapatti.com. This website has under a
single roof (1) one of the largest collection of texts of stotras in multiple languages, (2) audio
MP3 recordings of many of the above stotras and (3) photo galleries of 108 divya desams and
vintage photo images of śrı̄mad ān.d. avans and ahobila mat. ham Jeeyars. The time, energy,
effort and dedication that Sriman Kidambi has brought to bear upon this task is phenomenal and his
yeoman service has been recognized by āstikas thirsting for such information around the globe.
All of us owe a deep sense of gratitude to Sriman Sunder Kidambi for his selfless bhagavat-bhā-
gavata kaiṅkaryams.

Most recently, Sriman Kidambi has put together an easy-to-practise laghu āradhana kra-
mam for the benefit of āstikās who wish to learn bhagavad āradhanam. It is a pleasure for
me to have the privilege of writing a foreword for this most recent release of Sriman Kidambi in
his www.prapatti.com website. Why is this effort so important?

Today, śakti-sampradāyam-sadācāram and pramān

. a jñānam are diminishing. Many
vais. navās are living and working far away from their traditional homes. They are cut off from
their moorings. Traditional routes of learning about our ancient sampradāyam at the sacred
feet of sadācāryās are not available to them. There is a need for addressing these information
needs of āstikās both at home and abroad. Welcome efforts by knowledgeable vais. n
. avās fill
the information gap on important vaidika karmās like bhagavad ārādhanam that are to be
performed every day. These efforts are to supplement the primary efforts of sadācāryāns and
not to replace them.

There are two kinds of bhagavad ārādhanams: (1) ātmārtham (2) parārtham. The
ātmārtha āradhanam is done at home to please the Lord by those who have been blessed with
pañca sam . skārams. The parārtha ārādhanam is done at the temples and mat. hams for
the well being of the world (loka ks. emam). Those who belong to brahmacarya, grahastha,
vānaprastha and sannyāsa āśramams are required to perform bhagavdārādhanam after
being blessed with pañca samskāram. They perform ārādhanam with veda mantrams.
Ladies are eligible for performing vis. n
. u pūjā in the tāntric manner. Such is the importance
of bhagavad ārādhanam “tasmāt anādi-madhyāntam nityam ārādhayet harim”
instructs Sage vyāsa (Therefore we should perform ārādhanam for hari always). parāśara
samhitai states that one should not even eat in the villages or homes where vis. n
. u ārādhanam
is not performed and one should not live in such places even for a day (na kuryāt anna-pānādi
na tatra divasam vaset) .

Such is the importance of bhagavad ārādhanam. vigraha ārādhanam is the most

lofty among ārādhanams. There are however a lot of difficulties faced by some in executing it.
Hence the easier sāl. agrāma ārdhanam is recommended by our sadācāryās. When the sā-
.l agrāma mūrtı̄s of the Lord is present in one’s home with dvāraka śilā, one has tremendous
sanctity in the house. After the ārādhanam is done, perumāl. ’s śrı̄pāda tı̄rtham and tul. ası̄
is received before partaking the naivedyam presented to the Lord during the worship.

In view of the significance of both these kinds of ārādhanams, vais. navite ācāryā-
s have written authoritative granthams on nitya ārādhana kramams: Ramanuja’s nitya
grantham, Vangipuram Nambi’s kārikai, smr . ti ratnākaram, and mumuks. u darpan. am,
Swamy Desikan’s pāñcarātra raks. a, Tirukkudandai Desikan’s āhnika grantham, Srimad
Injimedu Azhagiya Singar’s sadācāra nirn
. ayam are some of those śrı̄ sūktis focusing on
the important nitya karmās like bhagavad ārādhanam.

Many vais. navās long to do perform bhagavad ārādhanam; they however do not have
the opportunity to learn it readily from elders or from their ācāryās. Many of such aspirants live
overseas and are finding it difficult to learn the correct procedures (kramams) for performing
bhagavad ārādhanam. Further, the performance of the traditional ghana ārādhanam with
its intricate kramams like bhūta śuddhi, bhagavad and devi āvāhanams, recitation of
mantra pus. pam with veda mantrams with the correct svarams, periya śāt..t rumurai
is not easy for many vais. hn
. avās. Two online resources for performing the ghana ārādhanam
are available at www.ramanujamission.org and www.srivaishnavam.com/aradhana.htm

In view of the elaborate nature of the ghana ārādhanam and the difficulties in performing
them every day in the required manner, our compassionate ācāryās have devised a lighter kra-
mam known as laghu ārādhana kramam. This can be done in the morning by one rushing
to work in the modern day world. Sriman Sunder Kidambi has assembled this laghu ārādhana

2
kramam for the benefit of āstikās who wish to learn to perform ārādhanam for the Lord.
Sri Kidambi’s presentation of laghu ārādhanam is easy to follow with helpful pictures on the
placement of the vessels used in worship as well as the different mudrās used at the different
stages of the ārādhanam. The Sanskrit text for the veda mantrams with the appropriate
svarams for recital and the clear English text on instructions are very useful to the āstikās at
every level of awareness of the kramam. Separate appendix on the taniyans for the ācāryās,
mudrās and the often used kramams are a valuable adjunct to learn the laghu ārādhana
kramam. There are in all thirty five steps that Sri Sunder Kidambi has focussed on to capture
the essence of laghu ārādhanam. With few practise runs, one can become familiar with the
performance of nityārādhanam for the divya dampatis and receive their anugrahams.

Our hearty congratulations to Sri Sunder Kidambi for a significant contribution to the world
of ātikās and our prayers are to the divya dampatis and ācāryās to grow his kaiṅkarya śrı̄
further and further.
