sri:
dear Sri sampath Kumar:

Do you know who is the acharya for your family? 
Talk to your family elders and find out who the family Acharya is 
(Will come in the lineage of Ramanuja's established acharyas (74)

You should go to your family's Acharya for Samashreyanam
One of the things being taught after Samashreyanam is Thiruaradhana, 
(it is one of the samskara)

You may learn and perform Aradhana to Lord even now, as you are mentally
there. (This is a big step)

> have not surrended to an acharya in a procedural sense and had 
>> samasrayanam, am I allowed to perform thiruaradhanam? In my 

But still you should get samashreyanam done as soon as you can
from your family designated acharya. (Your grandfather, his father etc
were with one acharya-lineage, you have to try and be in that lineage's Acharya)

This is not a small procedure, though it may seem so to outsiders.
Only when you go through this, you will know what it is. It changed me 
profoundly
as a person. (If you are mentally ready to take off the Block, & let his grace 
flow
then this procedure is the most important one in your life)

If your family does not have an Acharyan, or none of your family knows about 
their
Acharya they had samashreyanam from, and you are lost in this search,
then you may want to have pancha samaskaram done by
HH Chinna Jeeyar swami. HH travels to US every Summer (June/ July period)and 
you can have 
your samashreyanam done here in the US. www.chinnajeeyar.org
