There is no proof that women had held the position of preceptors in our tradition.


Adiyen performs Tiruvaradhanam every day at home which my wife recites along during Arulicceyal; is this acceptable?

Vidwan’s reply:

It is not inappropriate for the wife to recite Arulicceyal during Tiruvaradhanam, if the wife feels she does not want to recite before her husband, she can do so separately.


Can a woman who had lost her husband, re-join the classes to learn Sri Suktis of Azhwar, Acharya-s after the conclusion of Subham?

Vidwan’s reply:

Yes, they can certainly continue to learn, so that they may console themselves through learning the Sri Suktis Azhwars and Acharya-s.

Both kanya and sumangali women must wear the masi nonbu caradu during the whole month of Panguni; if possible, they can continue to wear the caradu.
