Dear Sri.Brahaspathi swamin

 

Today adiyen happen to have some open discussions with one of our

higher official, who happens to be an Iyengar. during the discussion

he raised one question i.e. What is the significance of the 3 threads

in the Yagnyobaveetham or what does it indicate? he added further and

asked after marriage 2 (6 threads are ) poonal are customary to be worn

and what is the customary of the 2nd yagnyobaveetham. He also

commented that he had raised this question to many of the learned

personnel including his father but they did not have any reply rather

shutting him by saying " Adhigaprasangi "

 

Since adiyen happens to be an Iyengar he asked me the questions and to

be frank I am not aware of the same.

 

Can the moderator or any one in this group explain the querry ??

Dear swAmin,

 

I have heard the following from elders, but I too am not 100% sure:

that the three strands of the yagnyopaveetham represent the three

debts (ruNas) to the devas, pitrus and acharyas. I have also heard it

represents the three guNas of sattva, rajas and tamas and the control

over them which we are meant to have. But I ask other learned members

to clarify. Perhaps Sri NVS swAmin can clarify from the " Dharma

Shastram " books.

 

Regarding the second yagnyopaveetham after marriage, in the

sankalpam for putting on the second poonal it is stated

" gaarhasthaashrama karma karaNa yogyataa siddhyartham " , meaning, it is

to give us eligibility to perform the karmas associated with gruhastha

ashrama (like oupaasanam, etc). Some elders have told me that the

second poonal is worn on behalf of the wife, as after marriage, all

vaideeka karmas must be done by the husband and wife together. Again

request learned members to clarify.

 

daasan,

Ranjan
