Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Dear Members , Clarification regarding performance of Tharppanas . Even though all prapannas are entitled to enter Sri Vaikuntham with the grace of their Acharya ,their descendants don't know the real path of the departed soul due to praraptha karma .They may again travel in the doomathi gathi -marga leading to hell WHERE THE DEPARTED soul needs the oblations of their descendants to quench their thirst and receive the food offered in the Homams .It has been ordained in the sasthras that one should perform all the karmas laid down by our ancestors as prescribed in the Vedas as per their Varnashramas.Prapanna is not an exception .FINALLY a word of caution . All who receive Panchasamskara are not real prapannas .One WHO performs Heart &Soul service to the Lord and HIS adiyars without expecting anything in return alone is a real prapanna .Today most of us are Lokayathas (materialistic) and hence do not fit into the real meaning of the word prapannas.
