    Re: Upanayanam - what is the correct age

    Swamin,
    Sorry for writing further. People say that as per shastras, the Upanayanm is to be perfomer in the even year like 6,8 etc. including Garbhavasam. Hence it should be odd age like 5,7, 9 in the earthly sense is to be chosen. Since your reply is not clear whether we can perform upanayanam for our brother's son show is running 8th year (ie. as per shashtras, including the garbhavasam it becomes 9, even year). Please do not get angry. Kindly clarify, swamin.

        Sri:
        Upanayanam can be done on 7, 8, 9, 10 - running age or completed age.
        There is no discussion found about odd - even matter in shastras.
