Respected Mr Sarma,
Item 7 is new information to me. I have learnt from a Parsi room mate during a
training in Chennai that an upper body covering with a dress like Baniyan is
must for them.
Thank you for raising the QA to the REALLY LEARNT person. Let us wait for his
answers.

Respected Narayanaswamy Anna
Apt narration
Meantime, please permit me to , for the benefit of your followers, inform us,
1) The significance of wearing a poonool
2) Is it just a symbol of the varna that one belongs to? Or does it have a
higher connotation, both in physical and spiritual terms.
3) it is said that a new poonal has to be wirn before every ritual?
4) Why has it to be changed after visiting the crematorium?
5) some say that in olden days, a poonool must be changed after every act of
intimacy
6) it is also said that in olden times women too wore a poonool. Is that
correct?
7) Parsis follow the Zoroastrian faith, believed to be vedic in origin. Parsi
men as well bas women have an elaborate upanayanam ceremony, known as Navajyot.
At this ceremony, both boys as girls are endowed with a poonool called kusti.
8) Why is it that a poonool has to be lifted and encircled around the ear while
evacuting the bladder and bowel
9) is it true that a certain mantram is recited while (or after) urinating
10) why do women have to wear silver toe rings on the toe next to the big toe?
What is the religious/ physicsl logic behind thus?
11) what is the logic and purpose behind ear-lobe piercing and wearing gold
studs.
Would be grateful if you would kindly write about all these
With Respectil Namaskarams
Humbly yours
Laxminarayanan

Dear folks
The late Kaanchi Kaamakoti Peetaathipathi Mahaa-Periyavaal said in "Deivaththin
Kural" Vol. II:-
"piraammanan eppothu paarththaalum, thinamum irandu, moondru vealai snaanam
cheyya vendum. snaanam panniye anthantha velaikkaana santhiyaa vanthanam panna
vendum."
This does not necessarily mean that anyone who works in an office, a factory, a
field, a farm, at sea, or underground should interrupt his work, rush home,
bathe, and do his maadhyaanikam.
What I do is get up an hour and a half before sunrise, attend to toilet, bathe,
put on prescribed Vedic attire, put on forehead marks, and perform praatha
sandhyaa and maadhyaanikam, one after the other (including requisite
gaayathree-japams).
On returning home from work, I bathe, do my saayam sandhyaa, have some warm
milk, and chant 1,000 gaayathrees.
I have carefully timed myself. The 1,000 gaayathrees take less than an hour.
So, if you can delay your dinner by an hour, you can easily chant the 1,000
gaayathrees, and avoid the curses.
S Narayanaswamy Iyer
