[Vaideekam] Fw: HH Rangapriya swami's answers to SrI VS Mama's questions Part 1 transcribed [1 Attachment]

[Guest guest]

Swamin,Thanks for forwarding HH Rangapriya Swami's answers on shraddham.  But one aspect is not still clear.It is said that after death the jeevan either goes to Moksham if he is prapannan, or to Naraka or to Bhuloka as another jeeva.  It is clarified there that If a jeevan unfortunately reaches narakA, then the shrAdda karmas done for it by the people are taken up by the Pitr devatas (as the medium)  From this it is clear that pitru devathas are devathas different from the jeevan himself, who may be either in moksham or naraka or bhumi. But at another place it is said that Pitrs are very benevolent towards their lineage and grant (apeksham) all auspiciousness towards their vamsa. They bless the growth of their parampara (generations) of children, grand-children (parampara vrddhikaraNam).  So, if

jeevas themselves are pitrus, to whom they take the shradha karmas as medium as stated above?Thus at one place it is said jeevas become pitrus.  and at another place it is said they are medium taking shradhha samarpanams to the jeeva concerned. I respectfully seek further clarification.I sincerely and humbly request elucidation.DasanRaghunathan--- On Mon, 8/10/09, Dr.V.Sadagopan <yennappan wrote:Dr.V.Sadagopan <yennappan[Vaideekam] Fw: HH Rangapriya swami's answers to SrI VS Mama's questions Part 1 transcribed [1 Attachment]vaideekam Date: Monday, August 10, 2009, 6:57 PM
