This one is for the Tamil brahmin community ...................
Many of us keep complaining about the shortage of 'vadhyars' in India and also spend our energy debating the quality of available vadhyars. Are we not contributing to the current state of affairs ? Is it not our responsibility to act and salvage the situation ?
Most of us do not find enough time (15 mts !! x 2 times) to do sandhyavandanam (leave alone study of the vedas) and hence cannot insist that the boys in the family (if upanayana karma has been done at the appropriate age) also do sandhyavandanam regularly.
But, we insist that we need atleast 11 'good' vadhyars for our son's upanayanam and of course, the marriage of our children and grandchildren has to be performed in the traditional manner only, no compromises on that.
There is no other choice but to fully accept that it is our duty (as enjoined in the scriptures) to learn the vedas, perform actions as enjoined in the scriptures and pass on the knowledge. Moreover, we should also contribute in whatever way we can to sustain the already dwindling veda pathasalas.

You are right! I opine that one should think of their own contribution or lack of it for sustaining our vedic culture before making negative vibes.
Regarding Sabrimala, I feel that one should go there with the sole aim of having the darshan of 'Kaliyaga varadan' and not that of the priest!! However, regarding the behaviour of the priest I prefer not to write now although I would be glad to discuss it with you.
Continue your blogs and I would love to share my ideas too, with the hope that it is welcome!!
