Dear Swamin, My humble self do not know the Saastras inquired by your learned self but I have had the oppurtunity to have listened to Sri.Krishna Premi Swamigal who during a upanyasam said that Sri.Alavandar clarified to Aakiyalvan that "As a single cocunut tree cannot be called a 'Thoppu' , we cannot call a single mother totally unbarren. But there is no basis of calling a single son as 'no son at all'.

Just one question to you, however, on the above passage, if you don't mind. Can you pls. enlighten which 'sacred law' is that which says "an only son is no son at all'? Sir, ever since I read your mail I've been deeply troubled. FYI, I happen to be the 'only son' (the only offspring, in fact) to my dear parents! After all these years, I shudder to think I amount to simply nothing in the world. Not even a good son to my parents? Sir, I beg you to please clarify at the earliest and set my worst fears to rest. Deeply concerned, dAsan, Sudarshan Yahoo! Groups SponsorADVERTISEMENT --------------------------------- Yahoo!
