      Mala,
      If you think it is Tuesday, please go on that day. However, if you go with sincere bhakthi/devotion, day doesn’t even matter.

    Namasthe Meera. Can you please give me the website where I can find the lyrics to the nine gems of Purandara Dasa ( Navarathna maalika songs ) as sung by Kurudu Venkannachar. We would like to practise learning and singing for the Purandara Aradhana next year. Many Thanks.

Yradu hothu ootaa, manassige nemmadi. Yeradanne keliddu. Adaru, namma dodda magala maduveya bagge, devaru nannannu thumaa parikshe maduthiddane. Jataka torisidare, ishothige avalige maduve agi bidabekithu, Eeega avalige kankana bala ide, Gurudeshe ide anthare. She is already 26. Adare avalu maduveya bagge manasse maduthilla. I am not interested now annuthale. Yenu mada beku gothaguthilla. Nanage ee novannu hege thadedukollabeku, hege ee novininda ache barabeku gothaguthilla.

      Mala,
      Have patience. 26 years is not old at all. Sit down with your daughter and have a talk. Ask her why she is not ready, and tell her it is bothering you. I don’t see why you are worrying so much. Marriages should be taken seriously, it is a life time responsibility. So, please don’t force her.
      Talk to her, and when the right time comes, things will fall into place.

    Madam,

    I am having one question. Devara Pooje madida mele, generally yellaru devarannu thamma ishtarthagalannu pooraisuvanthe bedikollutheve. Idu sariyo thappo. Devrannu yava bedikegalannu kelade pooje maduvudu hege. Devarige yaryarige yavagyavaga yenenu kodabeku yembudu gothiruthallava. Brahma baredu kalisidannu yaru alisuvudakkaguvudilla anthare. Hagidda mele mathe navu devarannu beduva avashakathe ideya. ?

      Mala,
      This is just my interpretation. That is human nature. Doesn’t god know what we want, he definitely knows? Just like we as parents know what our kids needs are? However, when we are in pain, sick some trouble, there isn’t anything stopping us from asking God. However, I don’t like asking God for materialistic things. Good health, good nature, patience are some of the things we need to ask.

    Namste,

    This is regarding nirjala yekadashi on 09-06-2014. I am a smartha. Usually I keep
    fasting on mondays. Since, I am a working women, I will take only water or coffee
    till evening. After going to temple, pooja I will take some food (not rice) with out salt.

    I worship even vishnu also. Nirjala upavasa madodrindra, mouth smell barollava ?
    Hege avoid madodu. Bayige neeru hakikondu ugiaya bahuda ?

    Please advise me. Vaikunta Ekadashi bittare, this is the first time I am trying to
    do Nirjala Yekadashi Upavasa.

    with regards

      Mala.
      Good question. I am not sure if you can drink water and spit it later. Since having gastrointestinal problems while in college, I never fast completely. I at least eat fruits.

    Would look forward for your response.

    many thanks,
