Reply Karaikurichi VaradhanNambi says: June 7, 2013 at 6:43 pm sri: yes; when doing aachamanam, we have to remove the pavithram and we keep it behind our right ear; reason for removing: aachamanam involves partaking of water and even by mistake, a portion of the sipped water should not touch the pavithram (echil pada koodaathu); pavithram also means sacred. adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan Reply 6. N.R.Srinivasan says: June 18, 2013 at 6:43 pm It will be helpful if English translation of all the mantras employed are given so as to understand their spiritual significance. I attempted somewhat with my limited knowledge. Please refer to Hindu Reflections; I am not replacing Gurus and Acharyas as I have limited knowledge but trying to understand them only. Reply 7.
