Srimathe Ramunajaya Nama:
Adiyen has got a doubt regarding SamaashrayaNam. If SamaashrayaNam is done, one
should not eat the food cooked outside or which contains Onions. But these days
working People it is difficult to cook by themselves. To the extent possible if
we can follow certain principles, can we get it done. Of course only if
perumals grace should be there.

Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Sriman Nagaraj,
Humble praNAms to you. It's great to hear about your
samAShrayaNam. As far as I know(which I cross checked with my Great
AcAryA Sri Chinna Jeeyar),it shouldn't be a problem except that
women should not get it done during their monthly cycles nor
should they perform any thiru ArAdhanam on those days. samAShrayaNam
is nothing to do with marriage also nor with husband!
This is between the jIvAtmA, AcAryA and the God! I was of this
opinion but then couple of devotees raised doubts in me before I had
mine, so I specifically asked my AcAryA. My AcAryA told me that the
only criterion for a woman is that she should have attained her
womanhood before samAShrayaNam is being done.
In the olden days, females used to get married even
before their cycles started and hence they had their samAShrayaNam
after marriage and esp., after they attained the age. If there were
conditions for pregnant women, my AcAryA would have told me! To be
on the safe isde, I will ask my AcAryA and let you know. Basically
samAShrayaNam means sam(through)+ AShrayaNam(refuge/sharaNAgati).
We're doing this sharaNAgati through an AcAryA(as AcAryA is the
doorstep to the Lord).
One can easily get husband,wife etc but one has to be blessed(not by
his/her self-efforts but by His grace) to get an AcAryA from Ramanuja
Sampradaya.
May be you should ask your AcAryA himself before undergoing samAShrayaNam.
All true AcAryAs will not mind a person asking any genuine question/
doubt and they will transfer the right knowledge only! Any errors
are subject to correction.
