Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 swamin i have a doubut reg avaniavittam. request you to kindly clarify during kandarishi tharpanam, devatha tharpanam etc., we are reuired to use rice and for pithru devatha tharpanam we are required to use thilam. i notice that brihaspathis advise to mix thilam and rice together and use it. is it right to use rice and thilam for the tharpanams even if parents are alive.? if in the same house father and son are performing avani avittam should we use rice for the rishi, devatha tharpanam and thialm separately for pithru devatha tharpanam eithot mixing them. dasan srinivasan ***Adiyen, Many times I had clarifed this question, again for members : All the tharpanam we are doing on Upakarma are only to rushis and their pithrus, not for our pithrus. Also when doing tharpanam to one's direct pithrus, then the manthram should be included with the " Gothram, Sharma Vasu Roopaya /Rudhra roopaya / Adhithya roopaya - 'Asmath' (my) pithrun swatha namas tharpayami " . If not having the above line it will not indicate your father or grand father or grandgrand father. So, no problme using mixed rice and thilam to do tharpanam. The sankalpam for " Sama Upakarma " is very clear in this regard. It says: " ... deva rushi pithru preethyartham, deva rushi pithru tharpanam karishye! " The only thing, some tharpanams with praachinaaveedhi are not required to be done by the 'Jeeva pithrus' (who is having father).
