FOREWORD
Sriman Sunder Kidambi, tiruvad
srmad tirukkud
. i of
. andai an
.d
. avan, is very well
known to the
astika community in many continents. Over the past few years, Sriman Sunder
Kidambi has been serving the global
astika community tirelessly through his kainkaryams

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
srmad a
n
.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
astikas thirsting for such information around the globe.
All of us owe a deep sense of gratitude to Sriman Sunder Kidambi for his selfless bhagavat-bh
agavata kainkaryams.

Most recently, Sriman Kidambi has put together an easy-to-practise laghu a

radhana kramam for the benefit of
astik
as who wish to learn bhagavad
aradhanam. 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,
sakti-samprad
ayam-sad
ac
aram and pram
an
na
nam are diminishing. Many
. a j
vais. nav
as are living and working far away from their traditional homes. They are cut off from
their moorings. Traditional routes of learning about our ancient samprad
ayam at the sacred
feet of sad
ac
ary
as are not available to them. There is a need for addressing these information
needs of
astik
as both at home and abroad. Welcome efforts by knowledgeable vais. n
as fill
. av
the information gap on important vaidika karm
as like bhagavad a
r
adhanam that are to be
performed every day. These efforts are to supplement the primary efforts of sad
ac
ary
ans and
not to replace them.
There are two kinds of bhagavad
ar
adhanams: (1)
atm
artham (2) par
artham. The
atm

artha
aradhanam is done at home to please the Lord by those who have been blessed with
pa
nca sam
arams. The par
artha
ar
adhanam is done at the temples and mat. hams for
. sk
the well being of the world (loka ks. emam). Those who belong to brahmacarya, grahastha,
v
anaprastha and sanny
asa
a
sramams are required to perform bhagavd
ar
adhanam after
being blessed with pa
nca samsk
aram. They perform
ar
adhanam with veda mantrams.

Ladies are eligible for performing vis. n

uj
a in the t
antric manner. Such is the importance
. u p
of bhagavad
ar
adhanam tasm
at an
adi-madhy
antam nityam a
r
adhayet harim
instructs Sage vy
asa (Therefore we should perform
ar
adhanam for hari always). par
a
sara
samhitai states that one should not even eat in the villages or homes where vis. n
r
adhanam
.u a
is not performed and one should not live in such places even for a day (na kury
at anna-p
an
adi
na tatra divasam vaset) .
Such is the importance of bhagavad
ar
adhanam. vigraha a
r
adhanam is the most
lofty among
ar
adhanams. There are however a lot of difficulties faced by some in executing it.
Hence the easier s
a.l agr
ama
ardhanam is recommended by our sad
ac
ary
as. When the s
aama m
urts of the Lord is present in ones home with dv
araka
sil
a, one has tremendous
.l agr
sanctity in the house. After the
ar
adhanam is done, perum
a.l s
srp
ada trtham and tul. as
is received before partaking the naivedyam presented to the Lord during the worship.
In view of the significance of both these kinds of
ar
adhanams, vais. navite a
c
ary
as have written authoritative granthams on nitya
ar
adhana kramams: Ramanujas nitya
grantham, Vangipuram Nambis k
arikai, smr
akaram, and mumuks. u darpan
. ti ratn
. am,
Swamy Desikans p
an
car
atra raks. a, Tirukkudandai Desikans a
hnika grantham, Srimad
Injimedu Azhagiya Singars sad
ac
ara nirn
sr s
uktis focusing on
. ayam are some of those
the important nitya karm
as like bhagavad
ar
adhanam.
Many vais. nav
as long to do perform bhagavad
ar
adhanam; they however do not have
the opportunity to learn it readily from elders or from their
ac
ary
as. Many of such aspirants live
overseas and are finding it difficult to learn the correct procedures (kramams) for performing
bhagavad
ar
adhanam. Further, the performance of the traditional ghana a
r
adhanam with
its intricate kramams like bh
uta
suddhi, bhagavad and devi a
v
ahanams, recitation of
mantra pus. pam with veda mantrams with the correct svarams, periya
s
a.t.t rumurai
is not easy for many vais. hn
as. Two online resources for performing the ghana a
r
adhanam
. av
are available at www.ramanujamission.org and www.srivaishnavam.com/aradhana.htm
In view of the elaborate nature of the ghana
ar
adhanam and the difficulties in performing
them every day in the required manner, our compassionate
ac
ary
as have devised a lighter kramam known as laghu
ar
adhana 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 a
r
adhana
2

kramam for the benefit of

astik
as who wish to learn to perform a
r
adhanam for the Lord.
Sri Kidambis presentation of laghu
ar
adhanam is easy to follow with helpful pictures on the
placement of the vessels used in worship as well as the different mudr
as used at the different
stages of the
ar
adhanam. 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 a
stik
as at
every level of awareness of the kramam. Separate appendix on the taniyans for the a
c
ary
as,
mudr
as and the often used kramams are a valuable adjunct to learn the laghu a
r
adhana
kramam. There are in all thirty five steps that Sri Sunder Kidambi has focussed on to capture
the essence of laghu
ar
adhanam. With few practise runs, one can become familiar with the
performance of nity
ar
adhanam for the divya dampatis and receive their anugrahams.
Our hearty congratulations to Sri Sunder Kidambi for a significant contribution to the world
of
atik
as and our prayers are to the divya dampatis and
ac
ary
as to grow his kainkarya

sr
further and further.
