Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Last year around this time Swamiji and Shree Maa helped us honor our ancestors with some ceremony. Is anything planned for this year? This post is from the internet: AATHREYA - PITHRU PAKSHA - Ancestors's Fortnight.. From Thursday , 27 September 2007 to Thursday , 11 October 2007 This is the period that all the departed Ancestors visit Their descendants in Sookshma Roopam (Invisible Jeevaathma Forms) to Bless and Bestow Boons. During this Fortnight it is our duty daily to think of Them and Pay our Respectful Homage to The Honored Guests. Food Offering (Anna Daanam) in Their Name and Honor is a way of saying our Thanks to Them for having come all the way from Pithru Lokam to Bless all of us. Pithru (Jano)Lokam (Om Janaha) is one of the 7 Worlds above the Earth. Pithrus include both Paternal as well as Maternal Ancestors upto Brahma. Pithroon Tharpayaami, Rusheen Tharpayaami, Devanaam Tharpayaami. Om Pithru - Jano Loka Nivaasinyo Pithrubhyo, Rushibhyo Namaha Om. O Pithru Devathalaara Deevinchandi (Telugu) AadhiAathmika Saanthi, Aadhi Bhauthika Saanthi, Aadhi Daivika Saanthi. Maam Rutham Vachmi , Sathyam Vachmi . Sarve Janaan Saanthir Asthu. Truth , Whole Truth , Nothing But Truth. Let All Live In Peace Everywhere. Om Thath Sat Thanks for any news. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
