HOW TO PERFORM AVANI AVITTAM ( SACREDTHREAD FUNCTION)

1. Kamo Kaarsheed JapamEarly in the morning after sandya vandanam/samitha daanam(for bachelors only) KamoKarsheeth Japam is performed for 1008 times, to relive one of the deeds/sins done with orwithout one's knowledge and to get oneself ready for the maha sankalpam, .. and finallythe Vedharambam.2. Maha SankalpamThis is a social / community activity, where all the brahmans gather on a river bank and dothe sankalpam for getting rid of all the sins, etc.. and they mention different rivers, Gods,templs etc.. to specify their geographical location and then whether it be Caveri / Vaihai /Krishna they have a shower. After this everyone wears silk or new clothes (if available),etc.. and get ready for the grand ceremony.3.Yagnopaveetha DharanamThis is to rejuvenate and refresh one's spiritual energy and make oneself, eligible for theVeidc (Sroutha,Smartha Nithyanushtana Yogyatha) rituals , one changes the sacred threadand removes the old one saying it is old, broken (jeernam, kasmala, dhooshitam). Thereare 2 achamanams prescribed for this, - one for wearing a new poonal and another forremoving the old one.4. Kandarishi TharpanamKanda rishis represent the rishis or sages for each chapter or kandas in the Vedas(Soma,Agni,Prajapathi, ..) and each of those Vedic rishis are given water / rice(tharpanam). People, who do not have their father alive, also do pithru tharpanam and thusthis ritual ends.5. Kandarishi HomamIn places where they do it elaborately with a Purohitar, they also do this, by first chantingPunyaha Vaachanam, and then invoking all the Kanda rishis, 7 rishis (Athri...) in thekumbam and then, invoking all of them int he fire and offering havis, kshana dandam(mixture of all fruits..,appam,sundal..) and offering it in the fire. after that Jayadi homam isperformed.6. VedarambamOfficially, the Adhyayanam or Vedic classes start with vedarambam and critical lines /stanzas (like Agni Meelee..) are chanted + Maheswara Suthram, etc... After this the rishisare thanked, offered naivedyam, karpooram.. and everyone, disperses tot heir homes,chanting the Vedas.This is a more than 20000 years old tradition, which is preserved until today.The first step is a 'prayashchita', A prayer to atone the sins. It says, "For the removal of allmy sins and thereby to secure a divine blessing and for qualifing myself to perform theessential duties of Brahmanas as prescribed in the vedas and smritis and adopted by thereally good in their conduct I put on this Yagnopavita (the sacred thread).Then a new Yagnopavita is worn. When the thread is worn another mantra is recitedwhich means -"I put on the sacred thread which is highly pure, is inseparable from God, iscapable of prolonging life and is the foremost in the accomplishment of a Brahmana. Maysuch pure Yagnopavita bring strength and dignity."While removing the old thread, the mantra means -"I throw away the broken dirty oldthread, may the new one bring on long life and Brahmana's brilliance."

First the Rishi Tharpanam (offering prayers to the ancient Rishis) is read out.

Brahmin bachelors perform 'Samitha Daanam' and 'kamo karshith japam' afterMahasankalpam.
