Needs clarification about not doing pitru karma

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Vasu vadhyar swamin,

dasoham.

 

One of adiyen's friends asked adiyen a doubt which

adiyen was unable to answer fully. Adiyen's friend

(male) is single, never married. His both parents

passed away.

His doubt is that since he does not have children, his

not performing sraddham, pitru tarpaNam should not

affect the progeny of the next generation (as there is

none).

 

How can adiyen answer to his doubt? Adiyen said that

Perumal will NOT like this. (As in Bhagavad geeta, Sri

Krishna says that one should do one's duty without

expecting the phalan, He takes care of the rest).

 

Please help adiyen.

dasan.

This is due to wrong understanding of sastras.

Most of us are thinking that if we do not perform the pithru kaaryam it will

affect only our heirs.

It is wrong.

If a person undergone the " Sharanagathi " through a proper aacharyan, then he

should not worry about anything what will happen, what will be our future etc.

Because we should have a good confidence on it. " Sharanagathi " is common for all

jeevas. (Brahmana, Kshathriya, Vaisya, Soothra, Thiryak, Sthavara etc.)

 

After 'Sharanagathi' he should continue to do his duties according to sastras.

So, it is important for a person to keep doing pithru kaaryams in the case of a

'Sharanagathan'.

 

In the case of a Non 'Sharanagathan', rebirth is confirmed. To attain a good

birth he should obey sastras.

 

The sastram itself is saying, one should obey sastram without asking any

questions. Do not tell anything about sastram for person who are not having

faith on it. Let them do anything according to their will and wish.
