Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Namaste, Some people hold the view that one with a living father cannot do it and one's father must do it instead. The other view is that anybody can do it. I to the later view. If one's grandfather had some unfilfilled desires and one's father is alive, of course, one's father can offer tarpana. However, grandson can also do it. Depending on the karmic debts, the unfilled desires may have more effect on the grandson than son and hence tarpana offered by grandson may work better than tarpana offered by son. Thus, the idea that father has the exclusive " right " to tarpana and his son will get that right only after he passes away is illogical. If a father is a rich man with a lot of money, son may not need to work. However, if father is not that rich, son should better work. Especially if father is not capable of getting a good job and son is capable of getting a good job, son should definitely find a job and work. Saying that only father should work as long as he is alive and son should stay home is wrong. Same with tarpana.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Dear Sir, Can you re-post links to Tarpan manuals? I remember there were three of them, but I am unable to find now.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Dear Sir, My one mail regarding Tarpan is still unanswered. I had asked that If I am not doing Tarpanam as per manual and simply if I pour some water with a spoon in the pot before me and say -Mama so and so Pitrum Tarpayami swadha-and like with devotion, will it be ok ? Will it work?--- On Tue, 2/3/09, Narasimha P.V.R. Rao <pvr wrote: Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Namaste, Yes, that can be done, but I suggest using your palm instead of spoon. If you see the shortest method given in the manual, it can be finished in 5 min.
