[Guest guest]

Reproduced below an useful message from Sri

Sadagopan,in sri

mailing,which I find relevant to our group members

also.

Daasan,

R.Srinivasan

 

The sequence is as follows For Yajur UpAkarma ( Aug 19

for USA)

Rig & Yajur UpAkarma ( Aug 19 for India ) . Aug 19 is

PourNami Tithi & SravaNa Nakshathram :

 

At the ouset , Let me share with you an important

point made by

Dr.P.N.Sridharan , the Hon.Sec of MadhurAnthakam

Schools on

the importance of PrahAna (adhyayana) Homam as the

angi in the

UpaakarmA

observance in a private mail. The rest like

Yajn~Opaveehta dhaaraNam ,

KaaNDa Rishi TarpaNam have been correctly pointed out

as angAs

of the UpAkarmA . Dr.Sridharan points out that many

perform th angAs

and leave out the angi . He says that the sankalpam "

adhya UpAkaramaa

karishyE " has no meaning . Leaving out the angi is

tantamount to not

observing UpAkarmA . The angi consists of performing

PradhAna Homam

with

Nine Rishi AahUthis and at the end observing

VedArambham ( Ishethvaa

and the

other mantrAs for the other vedAs ) .
