Purchase second hand dining table from a non-brahmin family

If you are making rational worldly decision, then it should be based on rational parameters.
If you are gambling blind (sure way to lose) then it may be based on superstitions.
When playing stock market, and you pick your stock on the basis of charts, and doing due diligence, there is no superstition needed. But if you pick your stock by throwing darts, then a lucky charm may be needed.

It is not as simple as that though one would intensely desire to have the world that way.
After picking up stocks on the basis of charts and analyses and after doing due diligence several times still people lose whatever they have invested.
No one throws darts and pick up stocks on the basis of where the dart lands. It is intuition on the basis of which people sometime buy stocks. They lose or gain again depending on the way stock behaves and interacting forces behave.

So this (quoted post) is so much of just alphabets not conveying anything by way of meaning or truth.

We could have been spared the trouble.
 
I am not going to argue with you Rajiji. But we eat in restaurants that serve NV in the same table, plates, and utensils. What do we do? Compromise, compromise, and compromise.

That is why sAtvik people (புத்தியுள்ளவர்கள்) do not eat vegetarian food in a Non-vegetarian eatery.

It is not a compromise, but just laziness.
 
Divya madam, you can purchase the old dining table from non-brahmin and then on the top of the table if possible you may remove the old decolam sheet or plywood sheet and apply a new decolam or thin plywood sheet with the help of fevical and carpentor.. now you may use it .This is acceptable with our sastras.Even if you are not able to remove the old one you may apply fevical and put a new thin decolam or plywod sheet. and start to use it.
 
Wow. A dining table has created so many posts. :) Me too joining.

1st angle: If hard of money, buy the DT (dining table) and just clean it thoroughly as shri vaagmi has said and spread a table cloth over it and eat. Pariseshanam (maybe some old people whose bones are aching), if desired, could be done on the table.

2nd angle: If particular about veg & non-veg and sampradayam, just ignore it. Traditional and strict folks would not purchase a DT that has been used before. For them, an NB making a DT is different and eating on it is different. Not viewed the same. For the simple reason, "puzhungal arisi" is not used for "nivedyam".

Haha. And they wouldnt buy a second hand dining table used by a muslim! After all, they are saatvik...

So, you are saying that to remain saatvik, the DT should not be purchased?

Dear sir, to spend on a carpentar for removal and a new sheet, it is better that they buy a new DT at a higher price !

I wrote to you thinking you will have some religious steps to the madness of doing preshanam on a table. Instead you are asking her to do a carpentry project, that might cost more than the table. I am sorry I expected better solution.
 
When the whole house / body could be purified by sprinkling water (prOkshaNam) why not a dining table?

Good and easy idea, right?? ;)

The symbolic cleaning by prOkshaNam !!!!! yes. A very practical idea. :pray2:RRji you should have proposed it as the first solution, then we could have limited this discussion.
 
I came across this explanation.
