My son continues to perform prescribed daily rituals without fail. Kindly advise which slokam or pasuram to recite for a suitable alliance without any obstacles.
It seems that Srisuktam and Sri Stuti can be recited for a suitable alliance to fructify sooner and without any hindrances.
In the Yuddha Kandam Sargam 120 these shlokas are by devas during the Agni pravesham of Sita Piratti. tatO vaishravaNO rAjA yamashca pitRbhiH saha| sahasrAkshashca deveshO varuNashca jalEshvaraH ||6.120.2|| SaDardhanyanaH shrImAn mahAdEvO vRSadhvajaH | kartA sarvasya lOkasya brahmA brahmAvidAM varaH ||6.120.3|| EtE sarvE samAgamya vimAnaiH sUryasaMnibhaiH | Agamya nagarIM laNkAmabhijagmushca rAghavam ||6.120.4|| Here Varuna is addressed as ‘varuNashca jalEshvara’ and Shiva is addressed as ‘shrImAn mahAdEvO vRSadhvaja’ by Valmiki and in Yuddha Kandam sarga 126 where Perumal shows the Setu to Piratti Etat kukshau samudrasya skandhAvAranivEshanam | atra pUrvaM mahAdEvaH prasAdamakarOtprabhuH ||6.126.19|| he says ‘mahAdEvaH prasAda’; here Varuna is addressed as Mahadeva as per the exponents of tradition like Govindarajar. There seems to be a contradiction between these two shlokas. Kindly clarify these.
We do not see any contradiction with these shlokas. Govindarajar states Varuna is addressed as MahadevaH. The previous shloka states Shiva is also called MahadevaH. The name MahadevaH has many meanings and even Perumal is eulogized as Mahadeva. Shrimad Ramayana states the Ranganatha Perumal worshipped by Lord Rama in their sanctum is also called Mahadeva.
Adiyen belongs to Bharadwaja gothram, Sama Vedam (Drahyayana sutram), Vadakalai sect, a disciple of Srisannidhi; our sampradaya people add Kidambi, Nadadur, Nallan Chakravarti and Setlur, etc. as a prefix or surname. What adiyen has enquired on this is, that these surnames denote the Vedam, Gothram, and Sutram.

Adiyen’s native is Kumbhakonam and our family deity is Lord Oppilliappan. Can adiyen add Setlur which is my maternal side’s name if there are no relevant prefixes to adiyen’s?
Kidambi, Nallan Chakravarthi not only denotes their gothram or sutram but also the lineage they belong to; please find out the title that is related to your family side. Refer to a 30-year-old wedding invitation of your family, refer to your invitation or your father’s side invitation, it shall certainly bear the title name that
Are there any regulations to recite Deshika Stotras? While we recite Paduka Sahasram Paddhati based on the star, should this apply to other Deshika Stotras?
There are no particular regulations to recite Deshika Stotras. One can follow the practice of the temples that recite the stotras. The paddhati based on stars are for some convenience but these are not regulations. We have regulated these for some fruits. Some recite Sristuti on Fridays and Sudarshana Ashtakam on Saturdays, but these are
What are the reasons behind offering tamarind rice during ‘undu madhakaLiTRan’ pasuram and curd rice during ‘kaRavaigaL’ pasuram?
In ‘kaRavaigaL’ pasuram, it is stated that ‘kaRavaigaL pinsenRu kAnam sErnduNbOm’. The cow herd boys who went along with Kannan for herding cows partook curd rice during lunch as per the puranas.

We have heard many stories about Goddess Sridevi and Bhudevi; Sitadevi and Rukmini Piratti were the incarnations of Sridevi; Andal and Padmavathi Thayar are the incarnations of Bhudevi; we have learned about Bhudevi through Varaha avatara whereas there is not much info on Neeladevi; are there any stories on her? In which Divya Desam Neela devi is worshipped?
Padmavathi Thayar is also an incarnation of Sridevi. Harivamsa purana states about Neeladevi Thayar. She incarnated as Nappinnai during Krishna- avatar. References about her are stated in Divya Prabandham and also Thiruppavai talks about her. She can be worshipped in some places; there is a sanctum for her in Srirangam.

How to do parayanam on Shrimad Ramayana? Should it be done after partaking food or should it be done after the performance of Sandhyavandanam? Should it be recited for seven or nine days? Or should it be recited for one whole year by reciting 1 or 2 chapters per day? Can we recite during the menstrual time of women at home? If a day’s recital happens to end with the sargam that describes Sita Piratti’s weeping, can we conclude with that or must we conclude by reciting other sargams?
If you recite Shrimad Ramayana for the pleasure of Bhagavan, then you can recite after partaking of food; if it is done for a material purpose then one should recite before partaking food. Not necessarily that it has to be read in saptham or navaham, for each day one sargam can be recited. There is
