normal vapanam permitted days

**shivadas** · 25-01-2010 07:37 AM

Dear Readers!
Namaskarams. I would like to know the days on which vapanam is prohibited on normal days for grahastas & Brahmacharis. I know following days are prohibited, Correct me if I'm wrong.

Amavasya, Poornima, Dvadashi, Masa-pirappu, Janma nakshatram, Tuesdays, fridays & Saturday.

Apart from these, certain nakshatrams are forbidden, relative to janma nakshatram. Can anyone please tell those with an example.

you may be correct sir, Will we be all able to live up to this? Again vapanam >> do you mean hair cut or include shaving[face] also?
kind regards

Vapanam includes shaving also uncle. So, certainly its not possible. If a person's birthday is sunday (example mine is itself sunday- a perfect holiday), then he has to omit tuesday, friday, saturday, sunday. What days are left? In a hasty rush of mornings, it is very hard to get time to tear calender itself to know the thithis and all. So, I think this is not possible for officegoers.

Anyhow am much happy that Persons like Shivdas are still keen in following these. People of this sort is much necessary to maintain our traditions.

Removal of shika is permitted only while sanyasa. Sama vedin brahmachari shaves his head completely during upanayana alone. After that like other vedins he must also keep shikha. After upanayana, it is not wise to tonsure completely.

I imagined the situation from a நாவிதன்'s point of view...I am glad I am not in the trade of hair trimming/ shaving. By the looks of it, about 15 days in every month, I may not get any business! In the rest of the 15 days, I can operate only between 7 AM and 11 AM at the latest! தலையில் துண்டு போட்டுக் கொண்டு போக வேண்டியதுதான்!

dear sir,
You can save any day if you are doing only MUKHA SAVARFAM, THEIR IS RULES IN DHARMA. If you are following the rule of CHOULAM then only you can see the day, thithi and ext.

You are right , but this is applicable only then when we do CHOULAM to boy at three year and upanayanam at 7 year or after. If we perform both in same day then we must do Choulam on that purticular day only
