Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 srI: Sri Vasu Vadhyar swamin, dasoham. adiyen searched the archives before this request. adiyen's prathama brother-in-law passed away (reached the Acharyan's Thiruvadi). He married to my my eldest sister, who had passed away earlier. My brother-in-law is also my amman sey (maternal uncle's son).� Sometimes ago swamin responded to a query with the response that there is no theetu in this case. (reference archive msg 3229 dated Monday, 7th Jan 2008). Because he was the son of maternal uncle, is asaucham for 1.5 days?� When my sister passed away, we did not observe festivals, Kolu and pandigais (srijayanti, naraka chaturthasai etc) for one year until varushaptigam concluded. In the same way, this time also should we conduct ourselves (not observing festivals/pandigais) until varushaptigam complete? adiyen seeks clarification from swamin. vachika doshaha kshantavyaha dhanyavadaha nArAyaNA! *** 1.5 day Asaucham for Amman's son is correct. There is no meaning of keeping one year ban for pandigais for the death of a sister or sister's family persons. My logical argument is : there is no necessary to ban for even one's own parents death, because we (vaishnavites) are celebrating the " Subha sweekaram " on the 13th day, and believing that is not a death, leaving the prAkruta sariram and reaching Paramapadam. Then If it is not a death, why we have to follow the procedures of followups of a death which are not in sastras. (We are telling that, Masikams and chradhams are done due to respect the sastras). We should respect our statements, otherwise those statements may be treated as soothing words to convince persons who are in sad at a death. nvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
