Dear friends,

Small correction:

The expression "kATA-prashnam" is actually "kaatu-prashnam" (Tamil
colloquial used by pundits in their trade parlance). It is not to be
confused with the Vedic "kATakam". The "kaatu-prashnam" is also not
part of the Upanishads but comprises of certain passages in the Vedas
which are never recited in homes. As far as the Upanishads are
concerned, I am advised by my knowledgeable friend in Kuwait, they
are all eminently fit to be recited at homes on auspicious occasions.

Just wanted to put things in the correct perspective.

Sudarshan
