Please Note that 
Here is some information which is the Heart of the
matter I have got from Ms. Jayshree Saranathan.

I think this is very important and we should explain
this to our children and others on why the Sumangali
Prarthanai is done.  

I am sure the next time there is a Sumangali
Prarthanai there will be more dedication and more
meaning to it.

SrI:
Dear Madam,
 It was a well written article on sumangali prarathana
and I have saved it in my folder.
But I wonder if the 'why' part has another
explanation. 

Normally, we are supposed to pay our obesiance to
pithrus everyday as part of Pancha yajna. Our maternal
ancestors are also covered in that prayer. But as it
is, there is no prayer form exclusively for maternal
or female ancestors. I think we remember them and pray
for their blessings before starting any shubha-karyam
in our houshold. As such it is not merely to honour
them but to seek their blessings, that we conduct this
function.

But unfortunately many a time it turns out to be a
gift (of saree) to the sister (naatthanaar) and is
seen as varumbadi by them. Since the deeper feelings
for the well being for the one who is doing it is not
always found, I have recommended to many who used to
complaint about it when they seek my advice on
astrology, to choose a deserving outsider who would
sincerely pray for their well being and make them the
main person in the function though others in the 
family are invited to take part.

The purpose of the entire function is to invoke the
blessings of female ancestors who departed as
sumangalis (as  embodiment of Lakshmi)and pray for
their guidance and good-will for the function that is
to ensue (marriage or poonul etc)

Kindly pardon me for any wrong information in this
regard, 
sincerely,
jayasree saranathan.
