Jai Srimannarayana.

Hi,

Can anyone explain me why do we change Yagyopaveetham on Shravana Poornima.

Is there any particular cause?

Thankyou,

KranthiTirumala.

Chi Kranthi Tirumala!

Jai Srimannarayana!

 

We are happy for your interest in learning about

yajno:pavi:tham.

 

Sra:vana Pu:rnima, as you may be knowing, is the day

of knowledge. Lord Hayagriva incarnated on that day

and he gave the entire Ve:dic knowledge to the four

headed Brahma. So all the vedic scriptures are started

on that day by every person. Old people to rejuvenate

their knowledge and new people to get good out of the

vedas.

 

Yajno:pavi:tham is the one which gives the authority

to a person to study ve:das. As they start ve:das on

that day, before starting, they do begin with a Japa

ie. meditation with 'Ka:mo:ka:rshi:th' manthra.

After the japam is finished for specified number of

times, they do vapanam ie., removing the hair in total

except Sikha. By this act, the yajno:pavi:tham gets

polluted and thus they change it and then go for doing

Ho:mam, recommended for that day with ga:yathi,1000

times. After, 'ka:mo:ka:rshit' japam & for whatever

may be sins commited un-knowingly, the yajno:pavi:tham

gets polluted. So it must be changed and perform Havan

on that day. Next day, they do sahasra ga:yathri etc.,

 

Basically, changing it, may be to re-energize their

spiritual powers. Even without these reasons, people

should change their su:tram, because the SMRUTHIS

dictate to do so.
