Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Very very well put if one may say so....Extremely logical without a shred of ambugity...the message is very timely and forceful.

Kindly advise. I have heard the term "ottrai padai" (meaning only during 'odd' years) mention by some friends and I wanted to clarify if that's applicable for Srivaishnavas also. Thank you. Dasan, Vijayaraghavan. ::Unquote 1. Performing Upanayanam is like making one's child eligible to travel on his own, on this Earth 2. Trikaala sandhyavandanam is similar to booking three tickets per day for travelling/living on this Earth consuming various types of its resources like air, water, food, clothing etc 3. Just as during infant stage there is exemption from buying ticket while travelling on public transport (but probably when only accompanied by his parent) so too infants are exempted from Sandhyavandanam. 4. But once eligibility/ability to travel on his own comes to the child, he is supposed to buy the ticket or else pay the fine when caught in the act and that is any how borne by his parents. So too consequences of eligible/able children not performing sandhyavandanam shall be borne by the parents whose liability continues till they first perform the Upanayanam. 5. But once upanayanam is performed, the consequences of non performance of trikala sandhyavandanam and subsequent dharmic acts, shall be borne by the children themselves. 6. Thus it is the parent's responsibility to perform upanayanam of their children at the earliest once he is able to listen and speak well; and thereby avoid cumulatively increasing their liabilities/consequences of their wards misdeeds.
