pitru tarpaNam

[Guest guest]

sriramanujaya namahaI believe that some smArtha follows adding rice with thilam when performing tarpaNam on Sunday, Tuesday, Friday and Janma Birth star days. (Reference:page-21, Sama Veda tarpanam, published by Bhavani book center, West Mambalam,chennai-33). dasan.g_madhvan <g_madhvan wrote: swamin 2.some say that if tharpanam is done on any day of birthstar of our nearones we must add some rice grains too with thilam .Is this the position.Kindly enlighten me. adiyen

G.Madhavan *** 1. I don't know answer for question no. 1. 2. What will happen when doing only with 'thilam' and what will be the function of rice?! These are all the sastram of 'Deha Abhimanis'. nvs

In our family if there was any auspicious functions held like

grahapravesam /Marriage / child birth / etc., it is our practice to

add " sobanakshadhai " (manjal paduthina arisi) in the first tharpanam

which comes immediately after the so called auspicious functions.

 

When I enquired the significance of this to my father i was told that

it is procces of making know the pithrukkal about the auspicious

occasions we have celebrated at our house.

 

I do not know how far it really means... but as a PRACTICE WE ARE

FOLLOWING THIS

It may not be perfect, because, in every subha karyam itself, we are calling

pithrus there itself by doing 'Naandhi' to get their blessings.

 

A small sudhdhi is required to continue the subham after the Naandhi Chradham,

for that a small punya japam will be done and prokshanam will be done only for

the hands of that couple.

Dear Sri NVS swAmin,

 

Can I clarify a doubt. I heard somewhere that mainly Smaarthas

do naandhi before shubhakaaryams. Are Srivaishnavas also actually

supposed to do this, but have stopped doing it for some reason?

 

Also is there any website giving the procedure for naandhi?

 

regards and praNAmams,

Ranjan

 

***

Smarthas are doing Naandhi in Anna roopam in an elaborated manner, but Sri

Vaishnavas are doing it as Hiranya roopam. Some vaishnavas who knows about its

significance are still doing it in elaborated manner.

 

I don't have time or necessity to check other websites for any vaideeka

contents, because I am having ancient books for all the things, I don't have

time to read and reproduce them in our website. But now I started to do that,

which will be available shortly in our website.
