Prasad Sir

copied from some other source.
I did not invent it.

I did not say that you invented it, but you posted the reasons for not wearing wool (wether yours or copied). I questioned the reason. Once you post it (whether original thinking or copied) you must be able to defend it, or copy and edit it (that is what I do).
You can not say "ASWATHAMA HATHA...kunjaraha!" and then claim you repeated what was told to you.

Mr. PJ,


I know you are posting these from another source, but don't you think we shed skin cells.
Of those billions of skin cells, between 30,000 and 40,000 of them fall off every hour.

When kanappa nayanar can transplant his eye the deity did not mind. Similarly in Kalibari when they offer the goat the deity does not seem to care.

Sir,
Is this a reasonable question?

"but don't you think we shed skin cells"

 

[P.J.]

Sir
Starting from your post no 3, most questions from you are unreasonable

 

[P.J.]

I defend what ever i post here, not posting any unreasonable argument like Humans shed skin etc

Sir,
Is this a reasonable question?

"but don't you think we shed skin cells"

Mr. PJ sir,
I think you are just angry and posting these. Take a moment.
What is unreasonable in my question. If you say our brand new silk garments are dirty, but our bodies are clean, I have every right to question you. Do not take it personally, in this anonymous cyber space every question is fair.

Sir
In post no 30 you say "If you say our brand new silk garments are dirty, but our bodies are clean"

Unbleached, raw matka (ahimsa) silk is the best for pooja. Pl refer my post no 2

AHIMSA AND “PEACE” SILK:
PEACE SILK means silk that has been produced through peaceful processes.’’

Wild silk grows everywhere there are leaves that caterpillars can chew. When wild silk is gathered after the moths have emerged, then it is also Peace silk.

For a silk to be peace silk it must be from cocoons from which the moths have been allowed to freely emerge. The term “peace” correctly means the silk caterpillar has been let to complete its transformation in the cocoon, to freely emerge, mate, lay eggs and die happy. The cocoons are “pierced” and not suitable for reeling, but are degummed, pulled out and spun into soft yarns and threads.

MATKA SILK:
Matka silk is 100% silk, wherein the yarn in the warp is the usual silk yarn, while the yarn in weft is obtained from the cocoons that are cut open by the moths as they emerge. Matka silk is obtained from waste Mulberry silk by hand spinning without removing the gum (sericin). Cocoons required to produce matka are mainly obtained from Karnataka and Kashmir but spinning is mostly done in the village of west Bengal by women by hand spinning. Filaments of the cocoons of this silk were originally unwound and plied together on a mud pot, or Matka and therefore known as ‘Matka silk’.

Pancharatra Pradipa also gives the following guide to cloth: Unclean and Improper Cloth (PP 1.7 vastra paridhanam) A devotee should not wear dirty cloth, especially when cooking or worshiping the Deity. Used cloth that has not been washed and dried again is considered unclean. Cloth worn while sleeping, passing urine or stool, or having sex is unclean. Cloth that touches anything impure, such as wine, meat, blood, a dead body, or a woman in her menstrual period, is also contaminated. Cloth washed by a public laundry service and cloth that, though washed, has become stale are also unclean and therefore unfit to wear during Deity worship. While worshiping the Deity, you should not wear the following types of cloth: brightly-colored cloth (for men), damp cloth, cloth that is too long or too short to be worn properly, stitched or sewn cloth (for men), torn cloth, oil- or dirt-stained cloth, soiled cloth, burnt cloth, or cloth chewed by animals or insects. However, you may wear silk many times before washing it, provided it has not contacted anything impure or been worn in impure places. Unbleached, raw matkA (ahiMsa) silk is the best for pUjA. Sheep's wool is said to be always pure, but still, you should not wear ordinary woolen cloth when worshiping the Deity, because wool particles may fall on the Deity's paraphernalia. However, you may wear wool cloth if it is very fine, "nonshedding" wool, in which case you should reserve these items only for pUjA. Synthetic cloth should not be worn when worshiping the Deity.

PLEASE REFER FROM THIS LINK BEFORE POSTING FURTHER QUESTIONS

This is what i have posted in my post no 2

This is a guideline, not invented by me.
If you feel some portion of it is unreasonable, please do not follow that.

 

[P.J.]

This rule is still observed in South India. At the PadmanAbha temple in Trivandrum men are not allowed to come before the Deity without first taking off their shirts. PUjArIs wear the upper cloth around the waist. This rule does not seem to be strictly followed in North India

Prasad Sir
You contribute your knowledge in many sites, probably you misread my post no 2 and started this.
My post is based on a guideline given for wearing Angavastram on different occasions as well worship of Temple Deity since it is connected with upper garment.
I have also given the links; if you do not like any of them, just ignore and do not follow it.
These Guidelines are not invented by me, it is already given by some great Saint.
I just follow it whenever and wherever possible , that's all.

Mr. PJ,
This is going to be my last post in this thread on this topic.
You are misinterpreting my disagreement with your post. I never questioned the dress code, check all my writing. I question the reason for the dress code quoted by you.

While worshiping the Deity, you should not wear the following types of cloth: brightly-colored cloth (for men), damp cloth, cloth that is too long or too short to be worn properly, STITCHED OR SEWN CLOTH (FOR MEN), torn cloth, oil- or dirt-stained cloth, soiled cloth, burnt cloth, or cloth chewed by animals or insects. However, you may wear silk many times before washing it, provided it has not contacted anything impure or been worn in impure places.

These are made up reason, GOD never demanded them. What is impure to you may not impure to others.
I wear stitched cloths, you are wearing one in your picture, why do you think that is dirty?

 

[P.J.]

Prasad Sir
Well, I am also tired of explaining to you many times, so let this be the last exchange in this subject between us.
I see that you are not able to defend your post no 30.
As already explained to you in my previous posts These Guidelines are in the link provided by me refer my post no 34.
These are not invented by me but given by a Great knowledgeable person.
Yes, i am wearing a stitched cloth, but if i were to go to a Temple in Kerala , Say Guruvayur Temple, and if i am asked to remove it, i will surely do it.

DID I TELL ANYWHERE THAT STITCHED CLOTH SHOULD NEVER BE WORN in any of my post?

"I wear stitched cloths, you are wearing one in your picture, why do you think that is dirty?"

This has nothing to do with Temple visits.

Dear Songom sir,
spriritual need is just like one of the basic needs of mankind. Like thirst. One thirsty person takes water, other one take coconut water, other one take cool drink. All of them satisfy one need ie. thirst. Similarly craving for spiritual need which come from IN cannot be doubted. Each group satisfies this with a following, preaching, of their own which explains various religions or faiths. Through this quest they get a satisfaction spirituallly. Ofcourse not relying on religion is also a line of thought which again is a religion. Here also a non believer in religion as you have mentioned wants the humanity to be happy by not confining to any religion. That is your preaching. As long as the humanity is there, longing for spiritual satisfaction will definitely be there. Quantitatively, procedure wise it may be different. But Qualitatively it is same in all religions or lines of faiths. But the PRACITICES in each line of faith over a period of time change and this has tobe and will be understood bymature thinking. Wearing an Angavasthra is one such thing which if practically thought about will give an answer for an individual himself.
