Dar friend: It would be helpful if you quote the relevant PramaaNam for the odd numbers of age for performing Upanayanam that you have mentioned in your mail. My understanding is that there is no such stipulation in Saastras. Thanks in advance for clarification. Modearator =========================================================================== dharmasashtras are applicable to every one. there are no special dharmasashtras to sreevaishnavas. appropriate time for upanayanam is 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 which is maximum. shastra says Garbhashtama( for sreevaishnava and also non sree vaishnava) it means 8th year from garbhadhaana( ritual we do when we find pregnancy). according to shastra it is waste of money to do upanayana after 16 years ( as a special programme. can be done as part of marriage.) because he will not get savitri siddhi. please dont think i am not a vaishnava. i am a practicing vaishnava at least to my ability. deekshith --- Vijay & Lalitha Venbakkam <vijaylalli@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Respected Bhagavatas: > > I'd. like to find out if there's an appropriate age > for performing Upanayanam & Brahmopadesam, for > Srivaishnava brahmachari's.
