Pancha samskaram – Husband’s consent

Namaskaram swamy,

Several of my relatives had pancha samskaram. One of my close relative wanted take pancha samskaram several years back, but her husband did not accord consent when he was alive. She used to read divya prabhandham and even once joined spiritual tour conducted by our swamy.

Some time back, I asked her, why can not she take it now. She said, since she did not get nod from her husband when he was alive, does not want to take it now. Whether ladies have such restriction (as per shastra)?.

as per adiyen’s understanding, nobody has any restrictions to take refuge in Udayavar. All are eligible and welcome regardless of caste, creed, sex, socio-economic status, promises, permissions, time etc, etc., It’s jeevatmas individual decision and nobody should stop it and the doors are open always.

Thank you swamy, that was adiyen’s understanding also on saranagati’s pre-requisite.

Apart from jeevatma’s individual decision to take saranagati, is there any mention in  shastra that ladies has to abide husband’s words even after his demise.

adiyen understand as per Manu smirithi,

“Him to whom her father may give her, or her brother with the father’s permission, she shall obey as long as he lives, and when he is dead, she must not insult (his memory).”

 

“A faithful wife, who desires to dwell (after death) with her husband, must never do anything that might displease him who took her hand, whether he be alive or dead.”

My eternal husband is waiting to receive me.

Which temporary husband should I get permission from?!

on May 6, 2022

Oh.

Two husbands?.

(Not to be taken seriously)

If I count the countless births I have had, and assume atleast one partner in each life time….

on May 6, 2022

Ok, understood……..

Leaving the joke apart, I remembered to have listened in an enpani audio that one need to take permission. Have to check.

on May 6, 2022

Could locate in Dharma sandeha. swamy has replied to a query ::::

“You can do alone. But you will face practical difficulties at home due to conflict of interest.”

 

Swamy, please share the link for our swamy’s reply.

https://www.kinchit.org/dharma-sandeha/thread/about-samasrayanam/

This was the thread referred. Here, it was not mentioned about getting permission.

 

https://www.kinchit.org/dharma-sandeha/thread/without-permission-of-family-members-can-we-take-pancha-samskaram/

The title of the thread is “Without permission of family members can we take Pancha Samskaram”. Here, query (by male who is living his father) was whether pancha samskaram can be taken without informing family members. The reply given by swamy was “Will he object if you inform him”.

 

Inference :  Family is to be informed, before taking pancha samskaram and seems consent is required from the response, “Will he object if you inform him”.

I understand that there is no upper limit of age for taking pancha samskaram. Also, it is adviced to take it at an earlier stage of one’s life. If some one takes it at a ripe age, say 70+ years, can he still attain motcham in the same janma, if he follows the prescribed duties properly.

dhanyosmi, swamy.

Please ask your relative to listen to the above audios for more clarity

Badri swamy! dhanyosmi for your efforts in compiling this list! This is a treasure! May your kainkaryams keep expanding. May I also get a tiny bit of your commitment and focus on doing kainkaryam.

Badri swamy,

Thank you for the details provided. I appreciate the efforts put in to pick up the related enpani audios on saranagati. adiyen know the amount of efforts needed for such action, since I have done it on few occasions. I also appreciate your efforts to bring the fact unambiguously, I also attempt that, hence there were long communications (I would not call as differences) earlier in the threads. At end the fact should prevail, without ego, for which both of us are attempting. My heartfelt compliments.

Well. I have listened to all these audios earlier, true, I may not be remembering the complete content, but only the gist of it. I have re-listened to enpani audio #72, twice today. Yes. It lists the rules. But what we are discussing is FAQ (requirement of permission) on these rules, which was not indicated in that audio.

Under such circumstances, swamy, do not you feel, the thread what I have referred already,

https://www.kinchit.org/dharma-sandeha/thread/without-permission-of-family-members-can-we-take-pancha-samskaram/

provides the reply for this FAQ.

From கம்பன்தாசன்

Kambandasan Swami, in Thiruvaimozhi 7.1.11 and 8.911, Nammalwar refers to himself as “தொண்டர் தொண்டர் தொண்டர் தொண்டன்” and in Thirumalai 45, Alwar calls himself as “தொண்டு ஆய தொல் சீர்த் தொண்டரடிப் பொடி”. Compared to their commitment and focus towards kaimkariyam, adiyen is not even worth to be mentioned.

A point has occurred to me after listening to the above enpani audio.

While discussing on saranagati, the instances of Vibheeshanan and Drowpathi’s saranagati are quoted very frequently. Well, I understand it may be to emphasise the concept of saranagati. But both of them have surrendered for the material fulfilment. Would it not be better to quote the examples of the saranagathans who have surrendered for the sake of Him.

adiyen

Yes, swamy! it is done so.

Upanyasakas also mention about Lord Rama’s ‘surrender’ to the lord of the oceans as an example of ‘improper surrender’. Surrender must be to a person who is worthy of giving shelter – ‘Saranam saranyam’.

Dhanyosmi for the exhaustive list. Adiyen not seen a bhAgavathA like devareer before. Such meticulous devotion.

Coming to permission stuff

What’s the point of taking SharanAgathi alone?

A pathni should listen to her BharthA. Not sure what’s the confusion here.

Are we talking women empowerment?

We are not addressing the root cause.

Why will husband say such things?
He feels spirituality will distance from lowkikam

Meera Bai panninadhu thappu dhan

A wrong precedence. She should have convinced her husband that life & spirituality are complimentary & goes together

If I feel something will fetch me better results why wil I not opt it?

Dasanudasan

Meera Bai panninadhu thappu dhan
A wrong precedence.From vikraminside

This is YOUR opinion. Not the opinion of acharyas. Acharyas glorify her devotion. Even more, they glorify endlessly the devotion of gopis who left their household chores and went to the forest in the middle of night. That is considered the highest form of devotion.

Acharyas advise us not to imitate them; acharyas advise us to practise devotion at our level and gradually progress. While we are in this stage of ‘practise and progress’ it is wise if we don’t pass inappropriate comments / judgements about great devotees who are gloried by our acharyas.

Did jeeyar ask us not to go to movies after SamAshrayanam?
Manasu sanchalam illama irukkanim avlo dhanFrom vikraminside

Acharyas / jeeyar swamys / scriptures advise us to avoid things that add more fuel to the fire called our senses.

Movies are designed to tickle our senses. It is impossible to avoid manasu sanchalam if we watch movies. If we think we are influenced by movies, we must be blind to what is happening in our mind. Just a little attention will reveal to us in what ways our mind is getting disturbed by watching even a little bit.

The manasu sanchalam is not always in the form of attraction for heros and heroines; That too happens without us realsing. But it can be in other forms too. I happened to watch a movie and a scene of brother-sister sentiment literally brought some tears in my eyes.  What a foolish thing. The story is imaginary; the situation is so cinematic and artificial. Yet I am letting my mind get influenced by it and record some material samskaras in me (i.e. soul)!

We must avoid movies; as a saranagatha, we must atleast take efforts to decrease such habits and get rid of it in this life. This comes under ‘anukulasya sankalpa and pratikulyasya varjanam‘ principles of saranagathi.

We know that not only the ingredients of the food we supply to the body must be satvic but the person who prepares it must  also be in satva gunam. Because, food prepared by a person when he/she is situated in rajo or tamo gunam can transmit the same gunam to the person who consumes the food. So, we have to do our best to consume only satva-gunam food to our body, so that our mind and intelligence can be in satva gunam.

The same logic applies to the ‘food’ we supply to the mind and intelligence directly. If we consume a lot of media products created by people in rajo- and tamo- gunam, our mind and intelligence will directly get influenced by those gunams.

Please re-hear our swamy’s enpani audios on use of social media in view of this context. eg. 2385, 2265, 2223

Meera Bai senjadhu thappu dhan. She should have convinced her hubby in devotion.

Sadhguru Raghavendra’s wife was (initially) not happy in his sanyAsam.

This is HER opinion.

Seetha was NOT HAPPY in Rama deserting her

This is HER opinion.

The discussion is not about Meera Bai’s devotion is right or wrong. A wrong evidence for non applicable case.

Illa Swamy, bhakthi adhu “Vera Levelu” endru sonnaal onnum panna mudiyadhu.

As a baddhAthmA it is my responsibility to to carry forward Krishna’s Leela vibhuti instructions.

I still bet, our spiritual Gurus cannot come out of the web of Matams of Trusts even if they want to.

As per sanyAsa Ashrama Dharmam, a sanyAsi should not TOUCH MONEY

Dhanyosmi Swamins for all the kind words. However adiyen is not eligible to receive them. All the compliments are surrendered to our Swami and the entire enpani volunteer team who has enabled this for us.  

Adiyen referring to the original question. To surrender there are no permissions required.

Your statement “To surrender there are no permissions required” is noted.

Till I get a concrete reference / clear cut information on this statement, I go by the inference from the thread what I have indicated earlier.

Ref to the En Pani  audio # 1957 titled “குடும்பத்தில் பக்தையாக இருக்க தடுக்கிறார்கள், என் நிலை என்ன ?.”     

which is a reply for a female devotee whose husband has not permitted to take pancha samskaram. Swamy has adviced to follow internal surrender and pray to Ramanujar, who will guide. He further mentioned that she will get Ramanujar sambandham due to such act. He has not adviced her to take (physical) saranagati i.e., pancha samskaram against her husband’s wish.

In another En Pani audio #2060 titled  “பெரியவர்களிடம் அனுமதி பெறுதல்”, emphasised about taking permission before starting any vaideeha karma, from elders.
