Dear Devotee: The red SrI ChoorNam is made by mixing crushed dried Manjal with lime . I am not sure how ManjaL Sri ChoorNam is made . It must have a neutral binder to make it stick. The RanganAtha Temple at Pomona , NY can help you temporary supply until some one from India can help you secure the supply from Melkote or ThiruvallikkENi . The addition of small amount of Sandal paste to help bind the Turmeric powder is a clever idea . You can use red SrI ChoorNam until you get authentic Yellow SrI ChoorNam form one of the above sources.

The " Manjal srichoornam " is not available in all places. One swamy hence suggested me to use plain turmeric powder mixed with a little sandal paste, since plain turmeric does not stay on the forehead for long. Is it right for SriVaishnavas to use this combination ? > > Adiyen, > Ramanuja Dasan > ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
