DEATH PUNISHMENT TO ARJUNA
Arjuna went to Manipura state, along the route of aswa of aswamedha yaaga conducted by Dharma Raaja after winning the kurukshetra war and also get rid of the sins obtained during the war. king was Babhruvahana his own son with Chitraangada was the king of Manipura state Seeing his father Babruvahana came all the way to receive Arjuna. Arjuna was very upset that Babruvahana did not respect the duties worthy of a King and did not ask for war. He cursed his son as a coward and asked him to prepare for war. In the fight between father and son Babruvahana killed Arjuna, but Naga kanya ulupi, the snake-princess, also wife of Arjuna used the Mritasanjivani, a boon from Ganga, to bring Arjuna back to life. This is because arjuna acquired papam while using Sikhandi, the son of durpada, who is also brother-in-law to him (amba in previous birth) in defeating Bheeshma pitaamaha during the kurukshetra war. Arjuna was given a curse by the Vasus, Bheeshma brothers, after arjuna conquered Bhishma in the kurukshetra war, she redeemed Arjuna from the curse.
Nowadays, it is become a synonym, to say that ladies are not eligible for veda mantras phatana and mantra deeksha but many of our puranic women are women are well versed in Vedas and mantras. Moreover, they are able to control the trimurthiees also as in the case of anasuya pativrata.

ahalya and seeta
ABOUT AHALYA AND SEETA
Ahalya draupadi seeta taara mandodari tatha, pancha kanyaam smarennityam maha paataka vinaasanam
The above sloka is being recited by us. The prime meaning is that these five are maha pativratas and remembering them will ward off our sins abruptly.
Without understanding the same, it is being stated that ahalya and seeta were spoiled of their chastity and are being punished. One thing we have to understand that ahalya and seeta are ayonijas i.e. they were not born in womb and they have their paativratya power and they can make the paramatma also into any form with their power. This is being proved in the case of anasuya where she make the trio bramha, Vishnu and maheswara into kinds.
We have to understand the epic with care and the background for the situation. As gowthama maharshi is growing powerful with his bramhacharya, indra feared about his seat and wanted to create problems so that his power can be reduced. So, with the help of soma the karaka of manas, he came to the gowtama ashrama and made sound like a cock as if the bramha muhurtha is approaching. Gowthama, having thought that the time is up woke up went to nearby river to perform his snana and do other rites. When he reaches the river, he smells something wrong since much time is ahead for bramhamurtha, he returned back to the ashrama.
In the meantime, indra entered the hermitage under the gowthama vesha and approaches the ahalya to seduce her. As ahalya is a pativrata, and fully knows that the sage will never approaches her for sex during the bramha muhurta time, she threatens indra. In this stage gowthama re enters the ashrama and indra wanted to escape and gowtama curses indra and ahalya also she should not have samsaya i.e. doubt. This is clearly mentioned in the Ramayana balakanda 49th sarga.
Same is the case of Seeta also, the washerman in his fist of anger accuses his wife that he is not Sri rama to bring back her wife eventhough she was caputured and kept for 10 months in another man’s place. As sri rama does not want any samsaya in the minds of his public, he orders seeta to be left to forests by lakshmana.
We are in India, and our sruti says, women should be worshipped and not to subject her for discussion at any stage. I request everyone to understand the epics properly and understand the upanyasams of Sri chaganti gaaru and others and please do not drag their names into public for your ugly references.

WHAT IS BODHAAYANA AMAAVASYA
BODHAYANA AMAVASYA
Bodhayana is a sage who lived south to Vindhya mountains. Apasthamba rishi is the sishya of bodhayana. The vamsavali of this sage will follow bhodhayana smruthi. Amavasya tarpana for these vamsavali is being done on bodhayana amavasya day. In panchangams we can see that on certain amavasya days it is specifically marked as bodhayana amavasya. Do you know how this was started?
When the kuruksheta war was confirmed between kauravas and pandavas, king suyodhana approached the Sahadeva, who is authority in the jyothisa sastra, to predict a day to start the war so that they can win the war. Accordingly, sahadeva predicted the amavasya day to start the war and suyodhana will be victorious. In those days, even if the enemy approaches for a question, they will not cheat them.
Later pandavas came to know about this prediction and prayed to Lord Krishna about the situation. Lord krishna thought for a while and asked the pancha pandavas and others in their side to perform the amavasya tarpana on the chaturdasi day knowing well that those who starts war on that day have to face the death(chaturadasiyandu maranambu sambhavinchu a proverb in telugu. Having seen the performance of amavasya tarpana on chaturdasi day, sun could not understand the reason, and arrived to the kurukshetra with moon and requested the Lord krishna, why amavasya tarpana is being done on chaturdasi day. Lord krishna, without any hesitation told lord sun, that amavasya is the day when sun and moon conjoins and now both sun and moon are in one place so that the tarpana is being performed. They could not question any more and accepted the lord Krishna words.
From that day the bodhayana amavasya was started, i.e. previous day to amavasya is bodhayana amavasya. Normally, amavasya is common to all sutra followers. we can see in the panchangam as sarva amavasya but for certain amavasyas this will happen previous day to bodhayana sutra followers.
That is to be clear, on the amavasya thithi day before sun set if prathama/padyami thithi occurs, or on the following day of amavasya before sun set if dwiteeya starts on prathama/paadyami day, then the previous day to amavasya day is termed as bodhayana amavasya. Those following bodhayana smruthi has to perform amavasya tarpana on this day and others has to perform on amavasya day.

IS RAMA HAS A SISTER SANTHA?
The epic Ramayana deals with complete details about Sri rama and his character but when it comes to other characters like dasaratha or kousalya or other ikshwaaku dynasty full details are not available. This is manly due to story revolvs only around rama only. Even in the balakanda the details of santa was given in 10 sarga stanzas 1 to 5 as she is from ikshwaaku dynasty and romapada adopted her.
To know about shanta, we should refer to vashita ramayanam also known as gyana Ramayana wherein in adiparva, the birth of dasaratha is told in detail.
Aja, the ikshwaaku king is the father of Dasratha, who is 38th person in the dynasty ruling the ayodhya on the banks of sarayu river. King aja wife is indumati, an apsaras born as human due to a curse, and aja was spending most of his time in earthly pleasures. Once while sage narada moving over the sky, the pushpamala from his veena fell on the ground where king aja and indumati were on royal palace grounds, and immediately indumati got saapa vimochana and she left aja by his reveling her status. Aja could not able to bear the separation of indumati, and he committed suicide
During this time, the dasaratha was eight months old only and vasishta the kula guru asked sumanta to take the reigns of ayodhya until dasaratha becomes eligible for pattabhisheka. Dasaratha, was given under the care of great sage marudanva who is adept in all sastras including archery. Marudanva brought up the child as a wiseman and a strong warrier. Dasaratha was crowned at the age of 18 and king of ayodhya, and his sepciality is that he could drive his chariot in war in all ten directons.
Another kind of ikwaaku dynasty is ruling kosla which is on the north banks of sarayu, and he has one daughter kousalya was given in marriage to Dasaratha without knowing about close relationship and same gotra.
Ravana is contemparory king to Dasaratha and is afraid of him. He prayed to lord siva and bramha and obtained bramastra which is most powerful one. Also ravana asked for deathless wherein bramha objected to it and he will have his death by the son born to Dasaratha and Kouslya. This enraged ravana and he wanted to kill kouslya even before getting marriage with Dasaratha. At this juncture, mandodari resisted ravana not to do stree vadha and get papa. She suggested to prevent the marriage by separating the dasaratha and kousalya before marriage. Accordingly, ravana kidnapped the kousalya with the help of asuras and put her in box and thrown the box into sarayu river. Dasaratha, who was in palace happened to see some box was floating in the sarayu which was thrown by some unknown people and he fought with them but could not win because they were asuras. In the meantime the box was floating fast in sarayu and reached in the confluence of ganges and dasaratha could not able to follow the same in the stream. At this time, jatayu, the king of eagles saved dasaratha from the stream and attended to his wounds and made him to get back his strength.
Dasaratha told about the floating box, and jatayu helped dasaratha to locate the same in the midst of water weeds in ganges. In the meantime, narada who has seen the same, and opened the box and found kousalya in unconscious state. Narada, with his divine powers able to regain the conscous of kousalya and decided to get married both in presence of devas summoned by him. Jataayu and devas blessed the couple, and jataayu transported them back to ayodhya wherein the marriage was again performed with royal honours.
Kousalya attained soon the motherhood and got lady child with handicap in leg. The child was named as santha. The palace doctors tried their best to cure the handicap but could not succeed. The kula guru vasishta consoled them and the handicap is due to the marriage between the close cousins of same gotra. He also advised them if santha was given as adoption to a divine couple, the handicap will be cured.
The king of anga, romapada who is husband of kousalya sister approached the dasaratha and wanted the child in adopton to him since he was not blessed with children. Accordingly, the child santa was given in adoption to king Romapada, and with due medical care her handicap was totally cured.
After this king dasaratha married, queen sumitra and kaikeyi and was living happily but without children. At this juncture, he requested the ministers and kula guru to find ways for getting children i.e. vamasa vruddi, and he was advised to perform putra kameshti yaga making sage rushyasrunga, the husband of santa as adwaryu. From here we will have the details in valmiki Ramayana.
Hope this will suffice the doubts of Santha who is sister of Sri rama whch is available in vasishta Ramayana.
