Family deity
according to Maha Periyava
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Worship of family deity-Why should we worship
family deity? What is the
benefit? -Maha Periyava
Explains
Hindus have
several Gods-Some people worship
Shiva, Some Vishnu , Saome Sakthi, Some
Muruka and some others Ganesa,
Some people worship Sun God
whom we can see
Adhi Sankara joined
all these sub sects and made Sanathana Dharma,Higher than worshipping all these is the worship of Family God,-Family God is
the God of our family members who
were born before us but what
we here refer is the male line of our family-that is father-grand father -great grand
father and so on
WE refer this as Gothra-our lineage from a saint
Our forefathers
always would have married Ladies from other Gothras
They would have done namaskara (salutations) before
family deity, Would have given their hair , Would have punctured their ears before
their family deity
They would
have gone to many temples But before we know what is devotion , our parents would have
taken and made us salute before our
family deity , If we think about it , we were made to stand in a huge queue of our ancestors before
our family deity
Recently someone
has written face book
Family God
See properly the temple of our family God
Daily light
the lamp, All problems would run away
If Family deity
is decorated and shines ,
Our family itself will shine
Gothra is a steel chain that
never has been cut
For all
children born in the familu,
The giving of hair, the boring of ears were done here
If we decide
that the God who protected our
forefathers
Would
protect us also, that is very great
blessing
If we visit the temple of
family God
And
perform all recommended rituals there
All our draw
backs would vanish,
Even if
there are thousand Gods
They will not be equal to family deity
Maha Periyava
