bhramachriyam Vs Komanam

Not open for further replies.
No such age related version. Any one who wears Komanam is scientifically benefitted irrespective of age. All hernea, hydrocyle such and this organ related health issues rose up owing to non wearing of komanam. Olden days people's practises largely had a lot of scientific values but they were not able to present the illustration;that is all .Komanam wearing is a sound habbit for all ages right from school going boy onwards.
 
Dear Sri drsdm23 Ji,

I never thought I would contribute to this thread. However, I notice you are a medical doctor. And I have a question:

In the west, my doctors told me that wearing a 'jatti' (almost simulating komanam) was okay till a man reaces about 40 years of age. After that they have recommended boxer shorts.

Do you think that they are wrong, anf if you do, why?

Regards,
KRS
 
Sir, Though not I am a medical Doctor I am a Doctorate in Pharma sciences. What is all required is that the scrotum ball sacs should not be allowed to dangle or stand loose BUT SHOULD BE HELD UP WITHOUT ABLE TO DANGLE FREELY. I am , as also you are, sure that KOMANAM serves the above function . I do not know the others mentioned by you. Regards
 
Dear drsdm23 ,
I have reservations on this issue , Its a free world for humans and their balls ( scrotum sacs)
and if at all it dangles , it doesn't dangle like a pendulum , with a large swing ( poor thing !) , I agree that the pattapatti ( rakjiran style ) is the best ! free air circulation - and you have the option of lifting and tying up the dhoti upto knee level with comfort, elegance and shtyle!
All of us know the drastic results of the komanam and madisar combination of our elders , resulting in creation of villages rather than families, due to easy access without passwords ! . Jatti ( VIP style ) makes one sport a look of a super hero !

May I request you to provide some verifiable evidence, such as journal articles published in respected scientific journals. Scientific respectability must be earned not just claimed.

Cheers!

dear shrivijiseshji, I enjoye the humour in your response. Anyway it is sugested that to prevent the nerves from possible elongating which happens during dangling [whether like pendulam or mild] holding up with komnam is right choice and was being practised in olden days which resulted in ailments related to "balls" were not existent.
 
Brahmacharyam vs. komanam

Dear Mr. Sivaram,

The forum created by you " Brahmacharyam vs. Komanam " is very useful in exchanging views on loincloth ( komanam).

So many members have comments on this forum and more & more people should go through this forum and understand the importance of loincloth.

Thanks a lot .

Hi

good analysis, but i fail to understand why you use imposing terms such as "don't do unnecessary research on such a petty topic"...

if there were uninterested members, this thread would not have continued at all...

what is wrong in discussing about komanam? as we can see from the responses, the discussion has made an impact...

this is the excuse given by many brahmin families for giving up "kudumi", "kadukkan" and other traditions... even though it may be eccentric, there is merit in following traditions and cultures...

i respect such eccentrics...

I think we are missing the wood for trees. The purpose of wearing 'kaupinam' must have been -

1. To ensure that the person wearing it does not develop desire for materialistic
objects, as the kaupinam is the (or supposed to be the) least expensive piece of
cloth. If someone wears kaupinam made of silk or other costly materials, it is akin
to wearing golden footwears.

2. To protect one's modesty. ('Avadhuthas' are an exception).

3. To cause the least inconvenience to one's intimate parts.

Besides these, don't do unnecessary research on such a petty topic.

"Ulagathodu otta ozhugal, pala katrum
Kallar Ariviladhar" - Thiruvalluvar.

Therefore, I live with the external world and do not want to show
myself distinctively a different person, finally ending up an eccentric.

Note: 'Kaupinam' is called 'loincloth' in the English I know.



As rightly pointed out by Shri Seshadri Subramaniam healthy discussions/ debate on any subject is welcome. Many who do not know the basic thing will have an opportunity to get some knowledge. Once we all had Kudumi and Kadukkan and now the same is being followed in Western countries having a long punk type hair and stud in the ear.

So let us have some healthy discussions

very good sum up by vaisits 77. I admire his observations and I feel they are true from my point of view.

drsd,

speaking for myself, i see an underlying current of soft porn in this post.

i do not consider myself a prude.

all said, would anyone feel comfortable reading this thread aloud to their teenage children, of either genders? or even recommending this to them?

extending further, how about talking about this to one's parents?
 
using always

I also wearing Kaupeenam so lng I can remember and feel convinent.
I dont know if this Garment also usable fo wemon, the only thing I know as children all of us boys and girl wearing only kaupeenam up to 12 years
 
Looks like men may come and men may go, but this thread will go on for ever...!!

The benefits of komanam have long been discussed in this thread; now it seems, it is just endorsement of views.

The thread has long outlived its purpose as no more useful discussion is possible on this.

Having said that:

That is probably because the thread is not efficiently organized so as to give a feel good factor. Modern education is tinkering with sex education in schools! And here you are - hinting a discomfort on this topic!

Pattukonakam

Sir,

Many of the members have discussed at length the advantages of komanam/ konakam . Now we would like to know how many of the members are really wearing konakam regularly.

Pattukonakam :happy: is available anywhere ?

Sir,
i never thought to reply this thread...every body left the importance
of brahmacharyam.....but everynody discussing KOMANAM/KONAKAM
as more important........many thread may be vanished...but this
topic/thread will stay for long time....a classical identity of
brahmins.......the food/dress code is part of individual/convenient
according to geographical conditions...this is my 2 cents opinion..

Importance of komanam

Ada kadavuley !

Komanam kizhiyira varayum intha thread ai vida maateenga pola irukku !


No need to call kadavuley, even kadavul had worn komanam - of course you can murugan at Palani is giving darshan in " komanam " only.

The purpose of many & many gives their views on komanam is that more & more members to switch over to komanam and feel the comfort.:pound:

Hence please take it in a right spirit.

I am closing this thread as in my opinion it has outlived it's usefulness. It is getting in to silly season.
