[Vaideekam] YAGNOPAVEETHAM-----POONOOL

SrI:

 

Dear SrI Padmanabhan :

 

Thick is more practical than thin.

I have seen the Yajn~Opaveetham

used by VaikhAnasa Bhattars

at Thirukkovilur ( Sri DehaLeesa

KshEthram ) . They are sturdy .

I forgot to ask them as to how they

make it thick. I requested a Bhattar

for a gift of their YajnOpaveetham .

He was very kind to go to his home and

get me one .It lasted a long time .

 

It will be interesting to know how it was made thick .

The starting point may be the thick thread is prepared from

spinning of the cotton as I have seen it at Ahobila Matam

AarAdhakar working with the cotton to make the thread .

 

Just curious !
