Ever since I was a kid I used to hear about how hindu scriptures prohibited people from crossing the ocean and if someone did then they had to go thru shuddhi. In the recent Kanchi case Sankararaman opposed the acharya for his china visit since he was going to cross the ocean - he had no problems if the Acharya had taken the land route it seems.
How true is this ?
