Dear Mr.Srinivas, It is nice to hear that your friend wants to become a srivaishnavaite. But, by wearing poonal alone does not make a person qualified to become a srivaishnavaite. A person becomes a srivaishnavaite only after getting panchasamskara from an Acharyan. In the case of your friend you can advice him that he can still become a srivaishnavaite without wearing the poonal. He can chose one acharyan probably H.H. Vanamamalai Jeeyar Swamy or H.H. Chinna Jeeyar Swamy and get the Panchasamaskaram done. This is my humble opinion. There are many learned people in the group who can give you better suggestions.
