Dear Mama

Adyen Desan. One of my friend is having his Grahapravasam for his house. He could find only smartha Vathiyer. Hence could you please compile a pdf file of the procedure along with all the homum that are performed in Vaishnava smpradayam. I highly appreciate your time and help.

Kirupa Adyen

Re: iyengar Grahapravesam

Sri:
There is no difference in Vaideeka prayogam for Vaishnavite and smartha
You have to do the perumal aaradhanam as per vaishnava sampradayam
all other veda mantras are remains same.
Also now a days most of the Vadhyars knows all sampradayams.

Re: iyengar Grahapravesam

Dear Mama

Thanks for your immediate reply. Highly appreciate your time. Could you please elaborate us on the Vadas that are recited during Grahapravesam. When we live outside india, some time it difficult to get knowledgeable people to do these things. Please reply when ever you get some time. It is just to get more information on this topic.

Thanks
