    Jai Sriman Narayana!
    Srimathe Ramanuja desika varavaramunibhyo namah!
    Swami, The e-handbook was superb.Thank you very much.Adiyen have a question: While applying Dwadasa Pundra, what is the correct position: Is it to be applied on right and left regions of neck or on left and right shoulders? Why adiyen asked this because in Shrivaisnavam.org they have told to apply on shoulders.However the bhagavathas that adiyen have seen so far apply on the neck region.Please reply.

    Priya Swamin,

    “Jaya Sriman Narayana”!

    According to the manu-samhita, in Vedic times the vertical markings represented the upward rise of the ‘inner-heat’ of the Vedin. The markings were placed on the various chakras and encouraged the ‘kundalini’ to rise to the Sahasrara (top of the skull)in order to help manifest the open hooded-serpant over the Vedin.

    This link explains the post-Vedic (puranic) version of it’s meaning(s), etc.

    Notes by V.Sadagopan :
    *******************************
    1.ThiumaNN Kaapu adornment rules are different for
    the different sampradhAyins and it is only correct
    to seek this information from one’s sadAchAryans
    and SishtAnushtAthAs and practise them. otherwise ,
    one will be embroiled in unneeded controversy , which
    has to be avoided always.

    * It seems that as your Acharya does or has taught you, you also do, otherwise not!

    “In the scriptures there are very general descriptions of the procedure for applying tilak. For example it is mentioned that the tilak should be urdhva-pundra, or vertical lines; the body should be marked in twelve locations, etc. But these instructions are very general and leave a lot of the details to the acharyas. Even in a simple point, such as the location of the tilak, one person may interpret the ’shoulder’ to start from the arm, where as another may interpret it to start higher up near the neck. This is actually the case in the two branches of the Sri Vaishna sampradaya”.

    Ref: http://veda.krishna.com/encyclopedia/general.htm#17

    Hope this helps?

    Adiyen,

    Krishnachandra dasan.

    Thank you very much Swami.adiyen have a clarification: adiyen am a Vadagalai Srivaisnava.adiyen am more attracted towards the Thengalai Sampradayam because adiyen find most of the philosophy convincing than Vadagalai.But adiyen’s panchasamskaram has been over long back before adiyen came to know the philosophies.Now I intend to get converted to Tengalai Sampradayam.Is it allowed?

    Adiyen,
    aditya rangaramanuja dasan.
