Guest guest Posted November 4, 1995 Report Share Posted November 4, 1995 Dear Shakthi: Upanayanam is one of the most important of the 40 Samskaras prescribed by Shastras for a Hindu. I recently wrote an article for the Magazine called "Tattvaloka", published every two months by the Sringeri Sarada Peetam"s Acharya: Swami Bharathi Teertha Swami, the 36Th occupant of the Peetam established by Adi Sankara at Sringeri. That has a coverage on all the Samskaras for Hindus .There are Special articles there on Upanayanam by others and its significance for all Hindus . You may wish to get a copy of this issue from the Editor of this journal, who currently resides in Edison, NJ.I will be happy to send you his address. Otherwise, I can Copy my article and send it to you.The issue has 96 pages. The mantras of Sandhya Vandanam are from the Vedas and are beautiful and they become relevant after the Upanayanam ceremony is completed. Brahmopadesam takes place during the Upanayanam and makes the Brahmachari eligible to pursue his Vedic Studies.
