Honourable Bhaktas:

The writer has been receiving mails from all of you over the past few
weeks. Even a small sample reading goes to prove beyond doubt that there is
so much to learn from others..

The waves(literally) of knowledge which comes continuously from you all is
amazine and makes the writer feel very humble in front of such a
honourable, devouted and sincere group...

The writer has some doubts, mistaken/misunderstood concepts, on many
aspects of religion, faith, Dharma etc. and wishes to use this great and
divine forum to perfect his understanding.

One of the doubts is on the captioned subject viz Kula Daivam /Kula
Sthalam. Considerable opinion is divided and there does not seem to be a
clear response/idea on these. Some say that annual visit to the Kula
Daivam temple is a must.

Still others maintain that once a life-time visit to the Kula Sthalam is a
must like the Haj pilgrimage adhered by the Muslims. This category of
people maintain that Kula Sthalam is the original place of origination of
the Kula/Gotra and so on... In fact this group maintains that it since it
is quite difficult to ascertain the Kula Sthalam, for the sake of
convenience, people have resorted to the Kula Daivam temple as the Sthalam
and hence the original purpose has been corrupted.

What is fact and what is fiction is a mystery to the writer even now.
