Re:Pitra Paksha starts 4th September Rupen Dave

[Guest guest]

Dear Rupen,

 

Any pooja or ritual like lighting a lamp etc which you had been doing before the

pitra paksha can be continued during the pitra paksha also.

 

No new ritual or pooja should be started during the pitra paksha.

 

Sincerely,

 

Priya

But I personally do not find any thing wrong if a lady does the tarpan.

his share, you should put his share from your pocket. Of the money thus

collected you have to do these two upaya.

later throw the pot also into the river. Make sure while you are burning the

kaudis , no one should cross between the water and the place where the kaudis

are being burnt. That means burn the kaudis close to the water.
