Ya learn sumthin every day.I have worn a brahmin thread since 1976 after receiving brahmin initiation from Srila Praabhupada. All the bt's I have ever encountered have been two bundles of 3 threads each.
Anyway my questions regarding the origin of this custom and the esoteric significance of the thread counts are still unsatisfied.
There are implied potencies invested in the thread itself, vis. the breaking of the thread at time of cursing etc. Is it something like the shakti of a yogi being invested in his dreadlocks?
I know it's a trivial matter, but hey, I'm that kind of guy.
p.s. my friends call me "Worm"
