SrI:
Dear Members :
Some of you have asked the timing for the
tying
of the Charadu for the KaaradayAn Nonbu
in USA and India .
It is Meena SankramaNam time , when
Panguni
Maasam interfaces with Maasi Maasam .That
is
when the saradu is tied as Mangalya Soothram
.
In USA East Coast , It is March 13 , Thursday
, 11.27 PM ;
The time range is between 11,27 PM and 12.14 AM)
,
It is Friday , March 14 in India ( 8.40 AM to 9.09
AM) for tying
the Saradu .
Lakshmi " PoojA " , NaivEdhyam with special
BhakshaNams
are done before. Every house/region has its own
BhakshaNams.
I had asked Sriman Vaasu VaahdyAr Swamy , the
Owner/Moderator
of hte Vaideekam
Group for some insights on this observance(Nonbu) .
He has sent me a splendid response , which I want
to share with you.
PramANams are not always available . Yukthi Vaadham
is allowed
in such cases . Mainly SishtAchAram from the
observances of
the elders of the Family has to be an important
item of reference .
I always ask Sriman Vaasu VaadhyAr for
clarifications
on Vaidhika KarmAs although KaaradayAn Nonbu is
not
a Vaidhika KarmA or Vratham .
Please join the Vaidhikam Yahoo Groups and
benefit
from Sriman Vaasu VaadhyAr's extensive experience
and Scholarship . The response from Sriman Vaasu VadhyAr is appended
below .

P.S : I will conclude with a prayer from one
of
the slOkams from Sri Lakshmi Sahasram :
KanyE dhugdhOdanvatas-thAvakeenam
manyE roopam MangaLam
MangaLAnAm
yath-sAvarNya-prAptha-bhadrA HaridhrA
SoumangaLyam samvidhatthE VadhUnAm
--12th slOkam ,MaangaLyAkhya SthaBakam ,
Sri Lakshmi Sahasram of ArasANippAlai
VenkatAdhvari Kavi
Her roopam is MangaLAnAm MangaLam ( Most
auspicous among all
auspicious roopams ). Dheerga SoumAngalyam
is requested as a boon
here from Her , who
arose out of the Milky Ocean . She is addressed
here as HaridhrA is the name of ManjaL (
Turmeric). One definition of
HaridhrA is " Harim DhrAvayathi ithi HaridhrA " .
One who melts the mind
of Her Lord (DhrAvayathi) with Her charm and
VaseekaraNa sakthi
is the Lady saluted as HaridhrA . She makes the
Lord's heart and mind
melt so that He overlooks our sins and forgives us
and accepts Her
pleading on behalf of us , who have trespassed His
Saasthrams .
The prayer here is to gain dheerga Sumangalithvam
and is an appropriate
prayer to Her on KaaradayAn Nonbu day.

Charadu SrI: We know that any thing comes under the name 'Nonbu' is 'Vradham' performed by
ladies. (I hope that Vradham is not used for ladies
"Kar" stands for "Protect".
