clarification email  replies

Quote::
Respected Bhagavatas:
 I'd. like to find out if there's an appropriate age
 for performing Upanayanam & Brahmopadesam, for
 Srivaishnava brahmachari's.  Kindly advise.  I have
heard the term "ottrai padai" (meaning only during
'odd' years) mention by some friends and I wanted to
 clarify if that's applicable for Srivaishnavas also.
 Thank you.
 Dasan,
 Vijayaraghavan.

1.  Performing  Upanayanam  is  like  making  one's  child  eligible
to  travel on  his  own,  on  this Earth
2.  Trikaala sandhyavandanam  is  similar  to  booking  three
tickets  per  day  for  travelling/living   on  this  Earth  consuming
various types of   its  resources  like  air, water, food, clothing etc
3. Just  as  during  infant  stage  there  is  exemption  from  buying
ticket    while  travelling  on  public transport (but  probably  when
only  accompanied  by his parent) so  too  infants are  exempted  from
Sandhyavandanam.
4. But  once  eligibility/ability   to  travel  on  his own comes  to
the child,  he  is  supposed  to  buy  the  ticket or else  pay  the
fine when caught in the act and  that  is  any  how  borne  by  his
parents.  So  too  consequences  of   eligible/able children  not
performing  sandhyavandanam  shall  be  borne  by  the  parents whose
liability continues  till they first  perform  the Upanayanam.
5.  But  once  upanayanam  is  performed,  the consequences of  non
performance  of   trikala sandhyavandanam  and subsequent  dharmic acts,
shall  be  borne  by  the  children  themselves.
6.  Thus  it  is  the parent's  responsibility  to  perform upanayanam
of  their  children  at  the  earliest once  he  is  able  to  listen
and speak well;  and  thereby avoid  cumulatively    increasing their
liabilities/consequences  of  their  wards  misdeeds.
