Avani Avittam - Yajur Upakarma

[Guest guest]

Dear Prapatti Group Members:

 

This year's Avani-Avittam festival falls on the 17th of August (according

to NY temple which corrects it for North America). The Indian Panchangam

and the Pittsburgh calendar mentions it as falling on 18th. On this day,

you are expected (minimum) to change your poonool and perform the

KAndarishi tarpanam. If you have the convenience you can perform the

upAkarma homam followed by adhyayanam (at least 4 anuvAkams from Yajush

shAkA).

If any of you require a Yagnyopaveetham (Iyengar - Poonool) and/or

Thirunarayanapuram Thiruman/Srichoornam, kindly let me know with details of

your mailing address. I will be happy to send them to you along with

instructions (in Sanskrit) for performing the UpAkarma function. I intend

to collect a token charge which I would disburse it to needy projects in

India.
