Dear Sri Krishnaswamy :

Dear SrI KrishNaswamy :

 

Pavithram ( Dharbai or Gold or Silver)

has to be worn on the ring finger , Right

hand .In our hands , thumb represents Vaayu ,

Indes finger , the Sky , Middle , the element of

Fire , the Ring finger , the appu or Water and

the small finger , Pruthvee tattvam .

 

The significance of Water is celebrated

in Mantra Pushpam and Udhaka Saanthi

Mantrams . That is the significance of

the Ring Finger for wearing Pavithram .

 

Once the cleansing arising from

the observance of Vaidhika Karma

by one wearing Pavithram made of

Kusa grass is over , the pavithram has to be

discarded . During Achamaneeyam time ,

it has to be held over the right ear .

Please refer to additional details at:

http://www.ibiblio.org/Sripedia/ebooks/sandhya/yv

 

For Vaidhika KarmAs , Only Pavithram

made of Dharbham is to be used .Gold Pavithram with just a Thousand year history

going back to Taantric worship in Kerala

has no place in Vaidhika KarmAs .

 

In Kerala , the goldsmith makes

these Pavithram rings with 3 lines representing

the three Naadis ( Ida , Pingala and Sushumna) ,

the knot ( Trimoorthys in their tradition)

and the 7 dots on both sides of the knot

represnting the Saptha rishis ( Mareechee ,

Vasishta , Ankeeras , Athri , Pulasthya ,

Pulakan and Krithi) . The pattern is copied

by Tamil Naadu Jewelers now . Ladies also

use them now as a jewelery . Although the ladies

wear them as Jewelery , they are expected to remove

it during their Bahishtai time . The Goldsmith who

makes it has to observe certain niyamams

duringthe time of making these gold pavithrams .

 

Gold Pavithram can be worn on the hand of the male

at all times since it has no Vaidhika significance and

sanctifying power like Kusaa grass pavithram .

 

Please ask a local Bruhaspathi to demonstrate

how to make a Pavithram from the Dharbham .

Respectful Swamin, AdiyEn is grateful for the details on pavitram given by Dr. Satakopan Swami. AdiEn would like to have a clarification. AdiyEn has been told by my Bhrahaspathi that for Bhagavad ArAdhana and Mangala kAryams, the pavitram should be made of two pills, while for apara kArya, it should be made of three pills. On this, adiyEn will be grateful if you can throw some light.
