Dear SrImAn Chary,

You are absolutely correct in emphasizing the

"anushTAnam" aspect of the whole issue. It is Practice

alone that breathes life into Precept or Principle.

And that is what I was trying to convey too to Sri

Rajalingam, the original correspondent of the

SriRangasri Group.

 

Regards,

dAsan,

 

Sudarshan

 SRIMATE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA

My upanayanam was held belatedly when I was 13 years old.Since then I was doing

sandhya only in the morning.Later we did the upanayanam of my son when he was

seven.I started doing the trikala sandhya so that my son will perform it & he

does perform.

I want to say that age is not important as long as shraddha is there to do the

sandhya.

In maharashtra,brahmins invariably perform the upanayanam at the age of seven

but you may hardly find anybody doing the sandhya.
