Thirumangalyam

[Guest guest]

Respected Sir,

 

During Shastiaptha Poorthi, one more thirumangalyam is added and thus the

thirumangalyam becomes three.

Is acceptable to our sampradhayam.

My wife has suddenly raised this querry as someone said three should not be

worn.

 

Regards,

Mr.Sridharan,

There is no sastram for these things, traditionally wearing Thirumangalyam on

Shastiyapta poorthi.

 

Why should not use three? Our Acharyas are having the " Thri dhandam " in which

there are three, Our sampradhayam itself is called " Tatva thrayam " , The first

tying thirumangalyam is made out of five strings which is in odd number, in one

Thirumangalyam two balls (Kundu) and one dollar (mangalyam) which counts three,

some grahastas are wearing three poonals, in some house haarathi is taken by

three sumangalies, we are doing pranayamam thrice, at marriages shouting the

pravaram three times, pitrus are three categories vasu-rudra-aditya, we are

using three lines two white and one colour as thiruman srichurnam, when sitting

for upanayanam, Jadhakati, vradham there father-mother-son or

father-mother-daughter three people only have to sit we can say many more

examples for threes.

Why not use three?

If you still not convinced do any of the following;

let the in laws purchase one thirumangalyam, you purchase one set of

thirumangalyam use both in this 60 poorthi also, later you can remove the old

one like we are changing the old poonal after wearing the new poonal, or let her

keep all the four.
