Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Hi Dinesh In the very ancient past we suspect it was an initiation ceremony meant for all including girls. The very ancient statues show girls with the sacred thread. In later times it was restricted -- and only boys of the top three castes were initiated. A great pity. regards jay -- Original Message ----- " dinesh kesavan " <dineshkesavan <Ramakrishna > Wednesday, May 16, 2001 12:16 [ramakrishna] Upanayana... > Hi!
