Dear All I do agree with shubha, also my grand father used to tell me that one is not supposed to prostrate to a lady if she is not accompanied by her husband, also one should not prostrate anybody within the temple premises except one's acharya and his parents. And regarding the sacred thread , my grandfather used to tell me that when we are in brahmacharya ashram we wear the thread made up of three strands , and when married, one wears one thread( of three strands ) for himself and the other (of three strands) for his wife. so a married person totally wears two scred threads joined together (of six strands) and also it has to be noted that whatever the good deeds done by a married person, 50% of it goes to his wife while the reverse does not hold good, but the husband partakes 50% of the sins made by his wife. These are the information, that i have received from my grandfather , if it is wrong kindly correct me. Adiyen Sridhar.S ------------------------ Yahoo!
