1. You have to do Tharpanam only for your father side (not required to do mother

side).

2. Tharpana manthras are available in the internet in audio and text formats.

(Go to http://www.ahobilam.com and click the Useful Downloads link)

3. Grahana Tharpanam must be done even a person is in doubt. All other

tharpanams should be avoided only on Pirappu and Marana theetu. (*See Note)

There is no exemption for any other reason to skip Tharpanam or Chradham.

4. The bugnams and pavithrams can be stored for one or two years.

Get two (year) sets from your Vadhyar and keep one set in your inlaws house and

one in your own house, and use.

 

*Note :- Some people are avoiding from doing Chradhams and subhams ignorantly /

wrongly under standing the sastra and sampradaya.

Example:- A lady is having only three days theetu when her father or mother's

death. If any function / festival / Chradham occurs on the fourth day, they must

do it. Some are not doing, which is wrong.

I came to know few avoided doing the Kaaradaiyan nonbu for the death of a person

by which they are not getting any theetu.
