Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Question from Jeffrey: When does one receive the thread? Swamiji's response: Brahmins at the age of 8, Kshatriyas at 11, Vaishyas at 12, Shudras at 15. All men at marriage. Question from Dilip: I need to find place, timing and details so that I can start wearing as well as observing the associated rules that white sacred thread carries with it. Please guide me . Swamiji's response: Any full moon is a good time to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
