| The consecration ceremony was conducted under the
direct supervision of that Thanthri who happened to be a young boy
of that TharananallorIllam as there was no adult male member then
available in that family. This Brahmin prodigy, to the utter dismay
of everybody, performed his job perfectly with the very same style
and precision of an experienced Thanthri by the full blessings of
his mother and Almighty. It was this Thanthri who entrusted the job
of making a pavithramothiram in gold to late Kelappan Perumthattan
who belonged to the above Chovatta Valappil Family ( C.V. family ),
as the thanthri had practical difficulties in making temporary pavithramothirams
of Durba grass during his hectic schedule of trikala poojas and to
prevent the consequent wrath of Mother Earth if the Pavithramothiram
happened to fallon the earth.
It is an established belief in accordance with
the scriptures that the pavithramothiram has to be worn on the right
ring finger only.
| The five fingers of our
hand represent the five elements of nature |
1. The thumb represents VAYU
(Air ) and the smoke from the incandescent aromatic
sticks like agarbathies.
2. The Index Finger stands for the SKY and the flowers.
3. The middle finger stands as a symbol of FIRE and Holy Lamp.
4. The Ring Finger represents water and
5. The Small Finger represents MOTHER EARTH and the Sandal Paste.
Furthur, The left side of our body represents the
Ida Nadi and Lunar Arch, Right side Pingala Nadi and the Solar Arch
and the middle of our body represent, the Sushmna Nadi and the fire.
These peculiarities of our body are depicted in Pavithramothirams
made of gold by way of three lines. The three lines on the Pavithramothiram
do represent the above three nadis.Viz; Ida, Pingala and Sushmna.
The knot at the centre by joining the above three lines indicates
the glands in our body. This Pavithra Knot greatly helps to activate
the Kundalini in our body to generate tremendous energy. There are
three lines on each side of the pavithra knot and seven buds on
each line. These seven buds stand for Seven Rrishis (Ascetics )
of the cosmos. Viz ; Mareechi, Vasishta, Angiras, Athri, Pulasthian,
Pulahan and Krathu. The three knobs just on the Pavithra knot are
the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. The unique flattened knob
adjacent to the pavithra knot at the beginning of the Middle line
is the Planet Sun and a similar one at the end of the same line
is the Planet Moon. The three lines finally converge to the four
knobs at the end, which represent the four Vedas. Viz ; Rigveda,
Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda.
