Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Dear mama Adiyen dasan, Trust everything is fine at your end. I would like to know about celebrating 70th birhtday. Like sashtiappthapoorthi (60th birth day), Sathabishekam (80th birthday), Is there is any function at 70th birth day. I heard this name for BheemaRathaSanthi(70th Birthday), Is it true, if so whether It is celebrated in iyengars. I hope the the 100 th birthday is Kanakabhishekam. Kindly clarify in detail. Thanking you Sincerely Ranga ranga *** Fine! Shasti abdapoorthi means 61 and it should be conducted on the 61st birthday. Sataabhishegam should be done at 83 years, by which the person may have 1000 chandra dharshan (83x12 = 996 in few years there will be 13 chandra dharshans) so, he is eligible for Sataabhishegam. The function conducted on 70th birth day is " Saptati " . Bhimarata shanti is to be done on 77th year, 7th month 7th day and which is now conducted on 70th birth day by some smartas and not by iyengars. " Ugrarata shanti " to be done at the previous year of Shastiabda poorti and " Bhimarata shanti " to be done on the previous year to " Satabhishegam " is in practice. All of the above are not coming under nithy, naimithika karma, which means not compelled by shastras. nvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
