Upakarma is a Vedic ritual that is celebrated every year generally, on the full Moon day of the Lunar Month SraAvana that falls during August–September months of English calendar which also coincides with the monsoon season. Upakarma is referred to as Avani Avittam in Tamil, Jandhyala Punnama in Telugu, and Janivarada Habba in Kannada. This day also coincides with two other important events viz. > Raakhi (Raksha Bandhan) and > Hayagreeva Jayanthi (Supreme Lord of knowledge and wisdom) Literally Upa means before and Karma means an action. Upakarma means an action performed before commencement of Vedic studies. Upa also refers to nearness or in close touch with Upanishads (Vedas). In simple terms Upakarma refers to changing of sacred (Holy) thread called Yagnopaveetham on this day by the three varnas (Brahmana, Kshatriya and Vysya). Upakarma also means the beginning or Aarambha. It is beginning of the study of Vedas and Upanishads. In ancient days, study of Vedas and Upanishads was compulsory especially for Brahmins. One will get eligibility to study Vedas and Upanishads only after getting properly inducted into Gayathri through the process of Upanayana Sanskaara. To commemorate this, even today this day is observed as Upakarma by symbolically changing the sacred thread and performing certain rituals that marks the beginning of study of Vedas. Upakarma is also reckoned as the day one has to submit/surrender (samarpana) whatever he has learned (VedaAdHyana) in the past year at the lotus feet of the Supreme God of learning Hayagreeva, VedaVyasa which is known as UtsArjAna.
