Qs: On performing ceremonies for departed souls

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

Saome of the discussions are marvelous, and is just unfortunate that owing to

constraints, I am unable to participate with my own humble subm,issions on

several subjects.

 

However, I would be too delighted, if some bakthas and other relegious persons

can throw light on the subject of performing ceremonies for the dead dear ones

and the near ones.

 

THE MAIN DOUBTS;

If a person dies, and if he has no sons to perform the obsequies, and only

daughters are available, the last rites sometimes are carried out by getting

the KAIPPILL by either the grandsons born through the daughters or the grand

sons in law(s).

 

And when the annual ceremonies are performed, should one

create agni with oubhasanam, and offer havis or is it not necessary at all?

 

I have raised this piont as Adiyen had the misfortune of being amidst

controversies, raised in a situation aforementioned.

Thanks, Regards,
