There are number of SnAnams
recommended by the SaastrAs
for one who is unable to take
"Head bathe"( VaaruNa SnAnam).
 
VaaruNam is the Mukhya SnAnam .
Wne it is not possible , then there are
others to use as preparation for
performing Vaidhika karmAs .
 
There are alternatives recommended by
Dharma Saastrams and AchAryAs
for the asaktan. These are: Paarthivam ,
Vaayavyam , Kaapilam , Dhivyam ,
Maanasam , Maantram , PanchAnga SnAnam ,
BrAhmam , AagnEyam , PurushAntara sprushti
Poorvagaavakaa sananams .
 
These are called GouNa or amukhya SnAnams .
Maanasam and Maantram are the easy to do
and most important snAnams after VaaruNa
SnAnam .  
 
There are other snAnams known as Pushya SnAnams ,
which are for gaining some results ( KaamyArtham) .
 
Once again , When one is unable to perform
VaaruNa SnAnam , he can do as kriyAngam
either Maanasa SnAnam or
Mantra SnAnam . Both are powerful.
 
Here is a posting from adiyEn going back to 1997 .

Subject: [SriRangaSri] Head Bath

Namaskaram.

A friend of mine is a religious person with deep rooted belief in Vaishnavism. He does lot of pujas at home including  Aradhaanams  for the   Saaligraamams . But his health does not permit him to have  “Head Bath” . But now being the month of “Margazhi, he  is bent upon taking “Head Bath”  very early in the morning which has resulted in health disorders.

Since  he has to  physically touch the Saaligraamams when performing an Aradhaana, he his afraid that sparing the head during bath may lead to sacrilege. Can any one clarify me that is it a sin to perform an Aradhaana without taking head bath or it is a must.

 

I was also told that it is not a must for  Brahmacharis to take head bath for  performing any puja. Please clarify.  

Regards,

Sridhar
