N.V.SRINIVASAN [vasu vadhyar] is the right person to answer your query NAMO NARAYANA NAMO NARAYANA NAMO NARAYANA dasan, N.PADMANABAN A QUESTION ABOUT KARMA VIDHI? Adiyen, Recently my father expired! My elder brother came completed the 13 days vidhi will be here till 1st masyam vidhi, but afterwards he has to go back to u.s.a !! Our question is can i do the full 1st year karma on behalf of my elder brother here in india ? Or can he do it in USA? We were told that it has to be done in our karma bhoomi!!!! Please clarify guide us..... Dasan *** As per sastras the elder son must do the karma upto the end of Varusha apthikam. Doing on behalf of the elder brother will not release him from his karma bondage when he is a physically and mentally able person. The remedy for this situation is slightly tough. The next brother should do the Masyams as he takes it as his elder is not doing this. The elder brother also should do it (in the manner which is one of the best available at) where he is residing. Again for the Apthikam the elder should come to India, he should do the Oona apthikam, Sodha Kumbam and Apthikam as usual. But on the Apthikam day, he should do all the masyams here in India as Aama chradham before performing the Apthikam. If he is able to come to attend the 12th Masikam, he can arrange 12 swami s for all the 12 masyams, and the masyams can be done as " Atheetha dvideeyanu masika .... etc. " . This will be better than the previous (aamam) one. Oonams can not be clubbed and can not be done if the specified durations were left. The younger brother(s) need not do the masyams when the elder is doing in India weather they are with him in that place of chradham or not. nvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssananth Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Namaskaram! I lost my father last year. And the varushapthikam is falling on April 20th. I am in Australia and unable to come to India. But I will come to India in July. Can I perform the Varushapthikam in July? On the thithi, what should I do? Should I perform Oona apthikam? Kindly guide, with respects, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
