Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Respected Vasu Vadhyar Swamin, Daasasya Vignapanam. 1. It is widely told that we should take bath in river as far as possible. I have a doubt in this. Are we supposed to use soap during river bath. I heard soap should not be used during river bath to maintain the river's sanctity . If it is so, how can we purify ourself? Is there any other alternate for soap. Can we wash our cloth in river water? 2. My other doubt is how long a new dress will be considered as MADI VASTHIRAM? Some one said it will be MADI VASTHIRAM only for one month provided if it is not dipped in water. 3. Regarding PANCHA KACCHAM, it is told that we should not change pair of MAIN VASTHIRAM and IDUPPU VASTHIRAM (Utthariyam). Is there any specific reason that we should wear the Vasthirams of same pair?. 4. Kindly forgive me if I have posted many questions. I request your honour to enlighten me by clearing these doubts. Adien Sri Vaishnava Daasan rparthasarathy *** 1. Sastram stressing to take bath in river often. Using soap is commonly admitted as unavoidable. 2. New Vasthram is not at all Madi. Shistas (Vaidhikas) do not use the new vasthram as it is. 3. It is for our convenience, not sastram. If we part the pair later we will misplace it, then the Veshti (Iduppu veshti) and the Uththiriyam also will go waste. 4. No matter of forgiving for posting many questions it should be awarded, but the questions will be meaningful and useful for all. nvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
