what is the correct age for a boy to perform upanayanam, is the age even number or odd number?

Answer 1

Upa=near---Nayanam=eyes--Bru madhyay=in between the brows(the intellectual eye -Aagjnaa Chakram -opening by Bilogical/foster mother,Biological/foster father and the Teacher in Presence of Divinity)--Shortly "Initiation". For Brahmins 8 years.For Kshatriyas and Vaisyas maximum 12 years and for others maximum 16 yeears--nowadays Nobody performs the Upanayanam even at the age of 30 years and some people perform on the penaltimate day of marriage and some do not perform at all.
