Sri:
Dearest all,
My son's question on abivaadhanam:
1. Is abivaadhanam an inroduction of who we are with regard to gothram,
vEdam etc.. (I said- yes)
2. Is that the reason why it is done for PerumAL and sanyaasis. because they
know everything.. (I had to say.. yes.)
3. If that is only irnducing yourself humbly, why do we do everytime to the
same person, since he already knows who we are.. (I kept silent)
4. If it is only introduction, why do we do to our own parents? They know
about us already.
5. If there is no requirement for PerumAL, why do we do at the end of
sandhyavandhanam..?
learned members, please throw more light..
Regards
Narayana Narayana
