Observance of Festivals(PANDIGAIS)

[Guest guest]

Respected Sir,

We shall be thankful if you kindly clarify the following general point

regarding celebration of festivals

 

there is ageneral doubt in the minds of many persons when and what

circumstances the festivals should not be done in the houses.

 

For example thereis one head of family in one house for whose Sister " s

Husband (MAPPALAI) died elsewhere in May2006 and now Sister widowed living

with her Son separately. It is to be authoritively to be known whether in the

house

of Head of the Family Festivals such as Deepavalli, Kartigai Deepam, and

Sankaranthi can be celebrated or not during this Year, CHELLAPPA

 

 

***Celebrating festivals is not a dhosham to fetch some amount of Paapam on any

circumstance except in the 10 or 3 " Theetu days "

 

But there is a formality to keep not celebrating the festivals for one year in

the particular family in which an elder person's death.

 

Also it should be noted : Ladies should not think (as per sastram) like gents

for their own father or mother. They should / must celebrate the festivals for

the sake of the family in which they entered and which is actually their family.
