-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I thought I will not butt in here but your post made me butt in after all!
(1) is the greatest discovery after the Theory of Relativity. :clap2:
(2) wearing a trip of cloth tightly between the legs does not need practice and perseverance.
(3) Brahmacharyam demands to stay from females until marriage takes place.
(4) This may need a survey in All India level to find practicing friends.
(practicing what... brahmacharyam or the art of wearing a koupeenam???) :decision:
(5) sandhyavandanam and other practices are taught by the pundit / priest/ vaadhyaar during the upanayanam! Did you get one performed for you?
If not you can't start sandhya vandanam on your own from a link in the Internet. :nono:
(6) God be praised that youngsters are still fond of wearing something - even if it is only a koupeenam! :hail:
kovupeenam if tied tightly will restrict sexual feelings importantly in brhmacharis.(Neethisastram in grantham.)
It is a fact that no one can completely have control over mala mootra visarjanam.that is some leakages which we may not feel.This will not fall on threashold if one wears panchakacham which will hold the droppings.So madisaar and panchakachcham or purely for hygenic reasons only.Nowadays people are wearing pants,pyjama,churidar salwar etc hence these might have been not insisted.

Dear Wrongan ji,
This is interesting...about tightly worn Koupeenam restricting sexual feelings...well I feel it does have some basis cos even in dysfunctions of the male kind is mainly due to restriction of blood supply becos of narrowed or blocked blood vessels.
So I guess the tight Kaupeenam works on the same principle..less blood supply..less sexual feelings but interestingly and surprisingly a decrease blood supply to the brain in cases of sexual asphyxia where blood supply to brain is restricted (where some individuals tie a ligature to their neck)...there is increase in sexual feelings.
Restrict blood supply to brain = increase in sexual feelings.
So that surely proves that to make sure one does not get an overdose of sexual feelings..one needs to increase blood supply to the brain ... may be that is why all the emphasis on Urdhava Retas to gain Ojas...to shunt the blood supply from the groin to the brain..a sexual bypass.
. When the sexual feelings are strong, the head doesn't work.
Dear Sravna,
This seems to be true for males.
For females this does not really apply cos a female's mind can multitask and even when sexual feelings are strong their mind can still work.
So going by this...wont it be easier for a female to thread the path of renunciation but yet females are not really encouraged to become Sanyasins.
Dear Renuka,
Being a male or a female are two distinct experiences to the mind. So when you talk of renunciation, it is the experience of the soul that matters. Every soul goes through all the experiences necessary for renunciation is what I think.

In spite of the KomaN and Soman, some rushis,
Brahma and Yama managed to spill their sperms
on the ground producing instant and magnificent sons!
The Vinayaka puraaNam has many such incidents!!!
Dear Kartik,
.... his MIL says that old cotton sarees cloth is softer.
Thanks a ton for the information and clearing my doubt.Dear Shri Iyya,
Actually, the three strands of the poonal are supposed to represent the iDA, pingaLA and sushumnA nADees, thus giving the wearer a constant reminder to control both his rAjasic and tAmasic natures. The second poonal at the time of marriage is a sort of symbol by which the husband accepts the participation and benefits of all the vaideeki yajnas which he does, to his wife also half-half. The third poonal worn after seemantham (actually it should be worn only after the birth of son) promotes the man to the full stature of a vaideeki brahmin and it is this third poonal which takes the place of "angavastraM" because such a second cloth for the upper half of the torso is a must for performing any vaideeka karma and without that all those karmas go completely waste.
Dear Renuka, I have no competence to accept or reject your argument because I am not having so much medical knowledge.But I have quoted what I have read in neethi sastram. scriptures.Dear Wrongan ji,

dear renus,
there is something kinky here, where the MIL shows an acute interest in the comfort of the son in law's privates. i would imagine, such interests be left alone, to the individual concerned and his spouse. and quite outside the domain of interest or influence of the MIL.
using MIL's old saris is even more strange, though i have seen old saris being used by women, during their periods, in days gone by, when india did not have the facilities of sanitary napkins, this is the first time, i am hearing of old saris being used to curtail man's ornaments. there is an eroticism involved with old clothes, for these strongly carry the body flavour and smell, of the person who wore it. to have the MIL odours when being sniffed at one's crown jewels? wow, ...enough said, and let us leave the rest to imagination.
hopefully, you will have a chance to introduce this group to me, sometime.

I never imagined that I would comment on this thread but...
The "tightness" for the Komanam is probably just indicated to avoid any "loose ends".
Dangling branches, rustling and swaying in the wind, and rubbing against one another, cause friction, you know.
hi
a simple /convenient/ hygiene/ control the bramavharyam.....i used to wear....when i was in veda patashala.....its must clothing
code for vedic students......so i had practical experiences....its very cheap and affordable too....

Dear TBS garu,
Do you have any pic of your vedapathashala days?LOL
