Clarification on Yama Tarpana

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends and like minded persons

 

The sloka in Yajurveda is “Deepostava Chaturdasyam Kaaryancha Yama

Tarpanam…….”. According to this I had drawn information from learned sources

and it is as under.

 

The dark fourteenth day before Diwali is for Yama Tarpan and it is to be done

in the morning hours. One has to sit facing South with water mixed up with

black sesame seeds. Taking a spoon of such water with the left hand and pouring

the same through the fore fingers of the right hand the following is to be

uttered.

 

Yamam Tarpayaami, Dharmaraajam Tarpayaami, Mrutyum Tarpayaami, Antakam

Tarpayaami, Vaivaswatam Tarpayaami, Kaalam Tarpayaami, Sarva Bhoota Kshayam

Tarpayaami, Audumbaram Tarpayaami, Tadadhnam Tarpayaami, Neelam Tarpayaami,

Parameshtinam Tarpayaami, Vrukodaram Tarpayaami, Chitram Tarpayaami,

Chitraguptam Tarpayaami, ---- total 14 tarpanaas.

 

I got clarified my doubt about using of a sesame seed when parents are alive,

and it is clarified that this being A DEVA TARPANA and no change of Yagnoopavit

to the reverse direction, any one can perform this.

 

Why should we do this? PERSONS WHO ARE READING MY MAILS MIGHT HAVE UNDERSTOOD

THE NATURE OF MAHAA KAAL, YAMA BEING THE LORD OF KAAL – IT IS CERTAINITY. The

other forms of Lords are basing on our imagination and Bhavana

 

NONE CAN SURELY ESCAPE FROM THE MOST POWERFUL PASSPORT IN THE NAME OF YAMA,

either to divine forms or otherwise. As per Astrological sciences, comfortable,

timely ripen, peaceful death – THE ULTIMATE – becomes a MAHAA RAAJA YOGA in the

name of ANAAYAASA MARANA YOGA. This is believed to be in the hands of YAMA

DHARMA RAJ – the LORD OF MAHAA KAAL. Therefore prayers to him to bring us a

nice FINISHING TOUCH yields desired results, hence this Tarpanaas.

 

Logically, if one imagines that someone is carefully watching and counting the

mistakes done by us, surely one remains cautious and alert. The Yama Tarpanaas

make us to realize this phenomenon and therefore we keep ourselves minding our

DUTY, without hurting others, causing damage to other living and non living

beings on the principle of peaceful coexistence. IT IS THE NEED OF THE DAY.

Yours affly
