Dear Sri Arvind:
You have written - 
"If you want you can offer him a garland of vadas. (Vadai Malai)" 

>From what I have heard in KaalakshEpams in India is that it is NOT a "VaDai 
>maalai" but a "vaDam" of maalai of flowers and that this stems from the 
>incident in which Sri Rama offered a "maalai" to Sri Sita asking her to gift 
>it to anyone she deemed as deserving and Sri Sita gifted it to  AnjanEya and 
>that the practice of offering "vaDai" though popular in some local customs is 
>NOT supported by any authority.

Can you please cite any authentic pramaaNam for this as also for offering betel 
leaf maalai?

Read out or recite Hanuman Chalisa. and recite lots of prayers dedicated 
to Sri Ram. Remember, if you are a Ram bhakt Hanuman is pleased too!


If you want you can offer him a garland of vadas. (Vadai Malai).

and if you want something done ..
try a garland of Betel leaf. ( Vettalai Malai).

All these things go well with the culture and customs only! Nothing 
wrong in doing all this for hinduism is a way of life.

Remember, the absolute truth is still very far away.


Thanks
Arvind
