Re: [Hamam soap contains Thulasi :-(]

Thanks to Sri M.S. Hari & Sri Raja Krishnaswamy for sharing their views. I thought about it and it seems like Thulasi, thiruman, yagyopaveetham, dharbham, even archa-vigraham-to-be of perumal etc get their sanctity _ONLY AFTER_appropriate abhimantranam/avahanam etc are performed as per vedic/agama shastram. If that is true, I apologise for suggesting Sri vaishanavas to stop using Hamam & other similar "ayurvedic" bathing soaps that contain thulasi. Is it just sentiments if vaishnava-s if they happen to notice such potentially sacred items as above being inapproriately used ? Any thoughts? Thanks, J.
