Saying abhivAdanam
There are quite a few rules on when and how to say abhivAdanam. There are also equivalent set of rules on doing namaskAram.
Here are some of them:
1) You should say abhivAdanam only to those who can say pratyabhivadanam.
2) If you were to do a namaskaram to a sadas of brahmaNa-s, you should not
say one abhivAdanam for all. It should be done on a one-to-one basis.
3) You should not say abhivAdanam to sannyaasis, pitru-s, or devata samuuham
(the exception of saying this is only during sandhya vandanam).
4) You should not say abhivAdanam to women, with the exception of one's mother and guru' wife (again she is another mother)
5) You should not say abhivadanam to persons lying down,with wet clothes, feeling ill,or for persons sleeping,drunkards etc.,
6) Every male youngsters in our families must know abivadhanam to say when they do namaskarams to elderly people.

Interesting. Thank you. But we do AbhiAdanam during Amavasai Tharpanams which is meant for Pitu-s, isn't?

I do not do abhivaadanam during, or as part of any Tarpanam. At what stage do you do it?

"abhivaadanam" is actually a self introduction with some elaborate details. It is correct to hold that one should say 'abhivaadanam' only to a person who can grasp its contents or meaning and pronounce the pratyabhivaadanam, which is not the same into., but a blessing.

Looking at the realistic position of the contents of the abhivaadaye mantra, it looks as though it has to be used only when you want the other person to know the full details contained in it and not in any other occasion. Somehow a wrong notion is being held by some of our newgen youth (who violate almost every code of brahmin behaviour, in the name of modernity, fashion and so on) that if you tell abhivaadaye while doing namaskaaram, you have become a brahmin of the highest quality! sad!!

I reproduce excerpts from one of the books on the subject - for general information of our members:

பெரியவர்களை நமஸ்கரிக்கும் போதும் அக்னி கார்யம் செய்துவிட்டு நமஸ்கரிக்கும் போதும் அவர்களுடைய வேதம், சூத்ரம், கோத்ரம் சொல்ல வேண்டியது அவசியம். இதையே ப்ரவரம் என்று கூறுவர். ப்ரவரம் கூறும் போது இரண்டு கைகளினால் காதுகளைத் தொட்டு ப்ரவரம் சொல்ல வேண்டும். அந்தந்த வேதங்களுக்கான சூத்ரங்கள் கீழே கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது:




வேதம் சூத்ரம்


யஜுர் வேதம் ஆபஸ்தம்பம், போதாயநம்
ரிக் வேதம் ஆஸ்வலாயநம், காத்யாயனம்
சாம வேதம் த்ரஹ்யாயநம், ரணயனி
