Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hello Arjun Saheb, Hope you have been good all this while. I have a query as regards the following thread. Before I come to the point, I would like to reiterate the background: I am very concerned about my spritual enhancement, and owing to this, I devote at least one and a half to two hours for my pooja. I have never eaten non-veg food even after living in North America for almost five years. I take all possible measures to ensure that I don't deviate off the spritual course. However, one thing weighs heavily on my mind---my janau has not been done as yet. I hail from a good North Indian Brahmin family, and my Baba (Grand Father) was a very spritual man. He was very adept at all vedic mantras, rituals and pooja, and would often devote around five hours everyday without fail for his pooja. But my parents, including my mother, were just not spritually inclined. My dad was a very senior government technocrat, he did not know even the basics of vedic pooja. He was not averse to worshipping though. However, he never organized or did any formal pooja proactively or out of his own accord. In my brothers' cases, they had their janau done one day before their marriages. But in my case, since it was a love marriage (I married to a jain girl), my janau was not even done even during the time of the marriage. My question is to what extent janau is important in one's spritual journey? I have also been told that janau is a very elaborate affair, and that while performing janau one has to feed people of several villages. Now, living in Canada, I just don't know how to get the janau done. My moorings with my native place is also not so strong. Your advice on this matter would be greatly appreciate.
