Dear Smt.Sripriya and other Bhagavatas:
The rationale behind celebrating the "Kolu" has been explained earlier 
in the various lists. A reference to the archives would help. 
If you are not able to locate, please inform me. I will try to help.

Following the success of my book "Hinduism Rediscovered" released recently.
some of my upcoming books in the series "Explaining the Unexplained" 
(in our Sampradayam) are entitled -
(1)"Fasts, Feasts and Festivals"
(2) Myths, Miracles and Mysticism"
(3) Beliefs, faiths and Superstitions"

They cover the importance, significance etc of various topics -
not only the "What" and "How" of them but also the "Why" of them as well.

Please stand by for announcements on these books.

Vannakam to everyone here,
 
Hi this is Mrs Sripriya Ravikumar ,i recently subscribed to this group as i 
have lots of interst in knowing abt rituals,ceremonies etc.i was going thru all 
the messages posted earlier and was excited to know more abt god,goddesses 
stories etc.
 
i am a person who love to keep our traditions to the extent that i can living 
in the present trend whr youngsters like me give hardly give any importance to 
culture and traditions.
 
i just know what is to be done for every festival,i learnt seeing my mom but i 
never cared to know why it is done ,the reasons behind such formalities etc.
 
My field of interest is to know the importance of festivals and the various 
formalities behind.
 
coming to my question:
 
will be glad if someone could tell why iyengars display dolls in series of 
steps on all the 9 days.this is our 1st yr festival after mrg and i fail to 
answer my husband's question when he asks me "why do u want to buy dolls and 
display?".i was looking for a group like this who could tell the importance 
behind such formalities for every festival that is celebrated.
 
i'll be very happy to know ur various personal opinions .
 
Regards and advance Nandri to all
Sripriya Ravi Kumar
