Earlier we used to do poojas from amavasya tharpanam to vrathams with vadhiyar. Now in many houses we have replaced this custom with CDs and viradha Pooja books.

Yes. Many of us spend so much money giving thamboolam just to prove our status. Without giving bramana dhanam vratam is not completed.

We have to take a vow that we should not bargain with vaideegas

Giving Respect to Vaidheegas, doing Pujas and Homams at home with Vadyar and as many vaidheegas as possible, Dhadyaradhanam and offering them good dakshina and vastram wholeheartedly are utmost duties of  everyone. Even if we do it by ourselves at home for some reason, dakshina should be offered to some vaidheega later. . 

Even when we go to temples rather than putting money in hundi (which normally goes to goverment and then being used by politicians for various purposes), we have to offer more money to Archakas who is doing kainkaryam as per  varnasrama dharma

Brahmana dharmam is doing vaidheegam only.  When Brahmanas by birth do so many things (doing other varnasrama dharma works) other than vaidheegam, then at least, they have to take care of Vaidheegas well as per other varnasrama dharmam

கலியுகத்தில் குறைந்தபட்சம் வாய்மையே பேசுதல் என்ற ஒரு தர்மத்தையாவது  அனைவரும் விடாமல் கடைப்பிடித்தாலே பாதி குழப்பங்கள் குறையும். With "so what attitude" - வீண்புகழ்ச்சி, to escape from something, to hide something and காரண காரியமே இல்லாமல் பொய் பேசுதல் கூட ரொம்பவும் சகஜமாகி விட்டது.

​

When there is no contradiction between our thinking, speaking and doing, we can experience a kind of peace within us.
