Upakarma

Upakarma is the ritual for changing of the Yajnopavitam (the Sacred Thread).  Upakarma is performed annually at a specific time (around Aug-Sept) according to which Veda a person has been initiated to study. In our tradition, we change the thread on the full-moon day of Shravana month.   This ritual should be performed whenever the thread must be changed (if it breaks, becomes dirty, or impure).  Sometimes one may simply feel it is time to change the thread.  This ritual may be conducted any time it is desirable to change the thread.
