Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 SrI: Respected swamin, Please check with vEdiks about reuse of darbhai, especially pavithram. When some one is the kartha for more than one homa at a time, I have seen the vediks insisting on not using the same pavithram throughout. After the kartha has intiated one homa and moves to do sankalpa of the other homa, the pavithram used in the first homa is secured and kept in the custody of the vediks of the first homa. This will be returned to the kartha when he resumes his seat in the homa. When he takes his seat in the other homa, a different pavithram is used. After the completion of the homas the pavithrams have been discarded. Another practice from family circles is that elders used to insist that it is not enough that we place the darbhai on food stuffs during eclipse, we must also see to it that it is removed after the eclipse is over and discarded. I have read specific instruction to this effect in books on tarpanam and and such other practices. Regards, jayasree saranathan.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Dear Swamin I have earlier written that darpai can be reused repeatedly in situations where the availability of darpai is difficult as in U.S. I had this from good authority who is scholarly in vedas and rituals . This may not be necessary in India where darpai is available in plenty. When a person is performing an auspicious homa ,the pavithram is made of even number of darpais and when a karma is for inauspicious reasons, it is made of odd number of darpais This is the reason why pavithram is changed between karmas. After the karma is over, the pavithram is untied and can be reused after tying it properly. The change of pavithram is not necessary when karmas are of same nature.

The vediks who conducted these homas were the ones who gave us insight into the importance of darbai. Similar information is contained in the book on sandyavandhana, amavasya tarpanam etc written by Sri Akkur anandhaachchaariar (1966 edition) This is for information. Even the entire series I intend to write is for sharing information. My part is only to to look at the rationale of the why and what of these in the course of my mails,as I find many inter connections and striking connections to what is found in Vedanta and cosmology.It is left to the readers to accept or not.
