My 9-year-old daughter is studying in a school run by Smarthas. During the Chaturmasya sankalpa period, they take all the children studying there to pay obeisance to their Samrtha Acarya. Adiyen’s daughter has performed bharanyasam at the feet of Shrimad Azhagiyasingar. The reason my child is studying there is they teach Sanskrit apart from the regional language and also they impart traditional values Sanatana dharma, unlike the western-based education providers. As my daughter had performed bharanyasam, is there a need for her to pay obeisances to their Acarya?
