Avani Avittam
Avani Avittam - Rig,Yajur Upakarma (India 03-08-2020),USA (02-08-2020)
Avani Avittam is an important ritual observed by the Brahmin community belonging to Vedic Brahmins. This is also called as Upakarma. Following day, Gayatri Japam is performed.
On the day of Avani Avittam, the 'poonal' ( in Tamil ) or ' Yangopaveedham' or Yajnopavit (sacred thread ) is changed after performing certain rituals and it is usually a community observance and takes place on the banks of a pond or river and now a days in temples ( even in overseas). Avani is the name of the Tamil month and Avittam is one of the 27 stars. On this day, a vow (Mahasankalpam) is taken for atonement of all our sins committed with or without our knowledge during the past year.
Avani Avittam Significance
It is said that Brahma had mastered the Vedas and he became arrogant with pride that he was the only entity that had the knowledge of the Vedas. Lord Sri Narayana thought otherwise and created demons Madhu and Kaitabha and then instructed them to steal the Vedas from Lord Brahma and hide it. Lord Brahma was in a fix that he was not able to save the Vedas from theft and prayed to Lord Sri Narayana to do the needy. Lord took the form of Hayagriva or Hayavadana and restored the Veda to Brahma, humbling Brahma. As the Vedas were restored on this day, Upakarma is performed on this day to mark a new beginning.
The following are procedures that are followed:
Samitha Dhanam ( offering to homam)
Kamokarsheet Japam
Brahma Yagnam
Maha Sankalpam
Yajnopaveeta dharanam

Note: Samitha dhanam is not given here as it has to be done with homam. Wherever possible, this should be followed Kaamokarsheeth Japam:

Avani Avittam is an important ritual observed by the Brahmin community belonging to Vedic Brahmins. This is also called as Upakarma. Following day, Gayatri Japam is performed.
On the day of Avani Avittam, the 'poonal' ( in Tamil ) or ' Yangopaveedham' or Yajnopavit (sacred thread ) is changed after performing certain rituals and it is usually a community observance and takes place on the banks of a pond or river and now a days in temples ( even in overseas). Avani is the name of the Tamil month and Avittam is one of the 27 stars. On this day, a vow (Mahasankalpam) is taken for atonement of all our sins committed with or without our knowledge during the past year.
Avani Avittam Significance
It is said that Brahma had mastered the Vedas and he became arrogant with pride that he was the only entity that had the knowledge of the Vedas. Lord Sri Narayana thought otherwise and created demons Madhu and Kaitabha and then instructed them to steal the Vedas from Lord Brahma and hide it. Lord Brahma was in a fix that he was not able to save the Vedas from theft and prayed to Lord Sri Narayana to do the needy. Lord took the form of Hayagriva or Hayavadana and restored the Veda to Brahma, humbling Brahma. As the Vedas were restored on this day, Upakarma is performed on this day to mark a new beginning.
The following are procedures that are followed:
Samitha Dhanam ( offering to homam)
