Question regarding SrAddham.

[Guest guest]

In regard to the question regarding SrAddham that SrI SrIkAnt had

raised, I wanted to share my experience. SrI Mani is correct that it

is difficult to find purohita-s who are trained to condcut the ceremony

with the mantra-s pronounced correctly etc. Recently I invited a

priest and at the end of the ceremony felt the same way that Mani had

described. However, occasionally you find temple priests who happen to

be trained properly. There is one such priest in Chicago, but he is a

smArtha and not a vaishNava priest. I have been advised that if you

can't get a qualified vaishNava purohita, it is okay to use a smArtha

purohita, as long as the people who are invited to fulfil the pitR

sthAnam are vaishNava-s. For a person living in the bay area, the

availability of a priest in the Chicago area is not a convenient

solution.
