Q&A with Swamiji .....16

[Guest guest]

Question from Kalachandra :

 

This about the following question and answer

" . Is there a puja that is particularly well suited to the loss of

a

parent?

Generally when a soul has left the body we recite the 1000 names of

Vishnu.

Give your departed relative the highest respect. We would

light a candle in front of the person's picture, offer fresh

flowers daily, and say at least 1 mala of Gayatri daily in the

person's honor.

"

How many times? We must to say some sankalpa?

 

Swamiji's response :

 

For eleven days. Say in the Sankalpa:

 

PITRI SHRADDHAMAHAM KARISHYE

 

Latha's post script :

 

So the sankalpa would be

"Om Adya Jambudvipe ....etc etc ....satyananda gotre , shri

kalachandra krtaitat ,PITRI SHRADDHAMAHAM KARISHYE"
