As per the practice of our household, a child is tonsured at Katumavadi Virannak Koil which is followed by offering hair at Tirumalai. As of now, all of us have performed bharanyasam under 46th Azhagiya Shingar. Is it enough that we offer only Tiruvenkatamudaiyan? The vidwan’s has already answered this query of adiyen. But the elders of our house for some reason hesitate to change the tradition followed. How to make them understand?

‘sarva dEva namaskAraH keshavam pratigaccati’ – as per this, satisfying the Lord of the Lords Emperuman, will satisfy all demi-gods. The Vedas say “angAnnanya dEvatAH” – that is, we think that offering only to Emperuman and not demi-gods will anger the demi-gods. The truth is, offering to Emperuman will satisfy all others. All the scriptures say that all the devas belong to Bhagavan.
So, offering to Bhagavan will satisfy him and this satisfies others and not anger him. As they are a component of Emperuman, they will not angry and will be joyous. Make them understand this perspective.
Purana-s say that offering to Bhagavan is akin to watering the root. Watering a root will reach the flowers, leaves, etc. of a tree. Similarly, are the offerings to Emperuman.
