Masium -a doubt

Srimathe adhivan sadagopa yadinthra maha desikaye namaha

Dear Vasu vadyar

 

My brothers' wife expired resently and he has no children.

Our vadyar says he has to perform monthly cermonies(oona masium

etc)with homam.

There is another one (his associate)says since there is no children

he need not perform all this monthly.He can just give danam and no

need for arranging two persons for bramanartham and homam.

we are confused please advise as to what is the correct procedure in

case like my brother.

Dear Sir,

Well, there are some problem is there in both of the verses.

 

I think you must be belong to 'Yajur Vedham, Aapasthamba Suthram'.

 

As per the first Vadhyar :- If one is doing karma to his own wife, it possible

to do a 'Paarvana' chradham only for the purpose of 'Sapindeekaranam'. The

'Varanam' is one of the main issue in chradhams. Vasu, Rudhra, Aathithya - thri

poorusham list is not given starting with the 'Bharya / Pathni' sabhdham. (It

may be due to my lack of knowledge or ignorance.)

 

As per 'Aapasthambar', the homams are to be made only for male.

 

'Yenme maadha/pithamahi/pithupithamahi' etc. is the starting of the homa

manthram (it may sometimes need to add the 'Yajamanasy' before it while getting

permission to do it from a male child.)

 

The manthram says : 'My mother(/grand mother/ grand grand mother/Yajamanasy

mother) who is by virtue does not think a man other than my father (/ ...),

suppose might have thought a man who also may be my father, but I wish to

restrict this offer only for the man who is the real cause for my birth'...

 

{Here some intelectuals will raise abjections, how dare you are to suspect your

mother? etc. But it is meaningless. We are experiencing the illegal relationship

here and there. We should try to give respect for the real relationship and

Shastram than emotional thinkings.)

 

now if we try to put a husband in that place of the person who is offering the

'aahuthi', how to change the dialague?!

 

He can't say as " Mama Puthrasya Maatha ... " because he don't have a son.

 

 

So, by logic, if the kartha is not a son (in any way) of the Vasu roopam can not

use the homa manthram.

 

When doing sapindeekaranam : The first calling person (Vasu Roopam) will be his

mother or his grand mother, there homam is possible.

 

But the sodhakumbam, masyam should be done regularly without fail as per

shastram in the 'Sankalpa Vidhanam'.

 

Kindly ask your Vadhyar, how he will make the Varanam and how he will chant the

homa manthram?

 

The second Vadhyars verse should not be taken into account.

 

thanks for asking a related question.
