Respectful Madam, This posting is very exhaustive and it is difficult to read it at one go and digest. It speaks of your capability.About the mangala sootra, there are some doubts:The Sootra is prepared with how many threads? Is it three?Was the thread made up of cotton thread originally?Why the golden amulets are strung in the Sootra in accordance with the tradition of each family? Is it ordained in Sastras?You have broughtout the Tamil _expression_- "Vizhai" from Purananooru. That is excellent. I went through different dictionaries and found among various meanings, one is striking: It is indicative of the woman who wears this thread around her neck is already a consort of a man. I don't want to use the exact words for decency .I could only go through fast to complete this posting because of keenness. I shall go through it leasurely, to enrich my knowledge.Thank you for educating us, you must be an incarnation of Sarasvati.Regards,Srinivasan
