Dear Swamy, While the clarfication of sri C.K. Srnivasan for the first point is in line with what I learnt - for the lord residing inside the 'puthu' in different forms, the clarification for the second point does not seem to match with my understanding. In fact we do anjali to the harathi & not take it. In fact it is always to be given an anjali. I really dont know or cant say how the practice of taking it originated. Right hand of all Brahmins contain agni. 'Brahmanasya dakshiney hasthey hothavyam' as per veda vakyam. Sajjana pada padma parama renuhu Lakshmi Narasimha dasan ==================================================================== ------------------------ Yahoo!
