Sunkan, Regarding Saptapadi, in reality, who knows the meaning even if they repeat after the vaadhiyaar..If we know atleast we will try to make it happen. I think, if it is fully understood, all will follow to make our life and the lives around us, happier and merrier..with no place for divorce..and no suffering to the children because of that... Trust is what entrusted to us... sriniketan
Re: Question Regarding the Homam to the new home??? ayush homam cannot be done for everyone better consult the purohit &then only proceed.

Milk Boiling ceremony Hi frds, From june 1st I am going to stay in new apartment(rented), now we are stayin in 1 bedroom and shiftin to 2 bedroom. So they are goin to give the key on 28/may but 28/may and 29/may both days are ashtami and navami I can shift only on 30/may but the prob is I have to give my current apartment key on 31/may. I am not understandin what to do bcoz I can not shift within one day and I can not shift on ashtami or navami. So frds can u tell that what I can do now I have to ignore or what??????????? I am totally confused pls help me.
Re: Milk Boiling ceremony Hi nyeturi We are in the exact predicament as you. our son's agent asked to sign papers on thurs, but we are stalling it till friday morning. Since the priest said navami is there upto 4.30 pm on thursday and fri morning 9-10 is auspicious time.Then we won't get the key un til monday or tues. At the same time that we sign on fri, we cannot do milk ceremony. so going and :crazy
Re: Milk Boiling ceremony Is there any way you can get the keys for a few hrs only a few days in advance(some auspicious day)?Then you can boil milk on that day.That is what we did twice. If you ask the leasing office for the keys just for a few hrs,they will definitely oblige.
