It
is the practice to start learning the Vedas on the full moon day of the
month of Sravana and complete it by the full moon day of the month of
“Thai” (Tamil). Students of the Vedas have to recapitulate what they
have already learnt in their adhyayana. They have to read the Vedas.
For not having done this they have to perform “Kamokarsheeth Japa”. After Maha sankalpa, they should take a bath and wear a new sacred thread. Brahmacharis should wear “mounji”, a small bit of deer skin and “danda” (staff). Then they should perform “Kandarshi Tarpanam” and finally “homam”.
While wearing the sacred thread, the brahmachari prays for the grant of bhakthi, karma, and jnana yogas. While repeating the “Yagnopaveeta” mantra, he says:
“I wear this sacred thread which purifies me the best that manifested itself even when Lord Brahma came in to existence, that which offers longevity and first place and that which is pure white in colour. The radiance of Jnana and strength should remain stable through this sacred thread”.
He removes the old sacred thread by saying “I remove this old, torn, weak, and dust laden sacred thread O Parabrahman! Shower your grace on me so that I shall retain the effulgence of jnana and longevity”.
Greetings on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. Brothers And sisters exchange rakees on that occasion
