SrI:Dear Sri Krishnaswamy :SrI:Dear SrI KrishNaswamy :Pavithram ( Dharbai or Gold or Silver)has to be worn on the ring finger , Righthand .In our hands , thumb represents Vaayu ,Indes finger , the Sky , Middle , the element ofFire , the Ring finger , the appu or Water andthe small finger , Pruthvee tattvam .The significance of Water is celebratedin Mantra Pushpam and Udhaka SaanthiMantrams . That is the significance ofthe Ring Finger for wearing Pavithram .Once the cleansing arising fromthe observance of Vaidhika Karmaby one wearing Pavithram made ofKusa grass is over , the pavithram has to bediscarded . During Achamaneeyam time ,it has to be held over the right ear .Please refer to additional details at:For Vaidhika KarmAs , Only Pavithrammade of Dharbham is to be used .Gold
Pavithram with just a Thousand year historygoing back to Taantric worship in Keralahas no place in Vaidhika KarmAs .In Kerala , the goldsmith makesthese Pavithram rings with 3 lines representingthe three Naadis ( Ida , Pingala and Sushumna) ,the knot ( Trimoorthys in their tradition)and the 7 dots on both sides of the knotrepresnting the Saptha rishis ( Mareechee ,Vasishta , Ankeeras , Athri , Pulasthya ,Pulakan and Krithi) . The pattern is copiedby Tamil Naadu Jewelers now . Ladies alsouse them now as a jewelery . Although the ladieswear them as Jewelery , they are expected to removeit during their Bahishtai time . The Goldsmith whomakes it has to observe certain niyamamsduringthe time of making these gold pavithrams .Gold Pavithram can be worn on the hand of the maleat all times since it has no Vaidhika significance andsanctifying power like Kusaa grass pavithram .Please ask a local Bruhaspathi to demonstratehow to make a Pavithram from the Dharbham .V.SadagopanActing ModeratorVaideekam Group----- Original Message -----From: Srinivasan KrishnaswamySent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 9:26 AMSubject: [Vaideekam] Fw: pavithram ring----- Forwarded Message ----

Subject: pavithram ring
Dear Vasu Vadhyar Swamin
Adiyen Srinivasa Dasan Prnams
I have a few queries on gold pavithram ring
Should the pavithram ring worn on the right hand or on the left hand?
Can that be worn always?
Does it have the sanctity in place of Dharbha Pavithram while doing daily karmas?
Pranams and thanks
