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.

===========================================================================
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.
