Dear All I need your advice on the above mentioned. I lost my brother on 10 September 2011. Can I perform the prayers since we never perform the 1st year thevasam yet. What is the procedures if I want to perform the prayers at home.... Please help. I received a forwarded e-mail as following: According to Siddhas (South Indian Mystics) another main reason for all of our everyday problems besides planets is the departed spirits of our ancestors. Our role is that we should constantly connect to the departed ancestors to live a peaceful life. Our departed forefathers / ancestors cannot come to this world whenever they think, except on Amavasai ( New Moon ), the starting day of every month and during Mahalaya Paksha. So they all will come in sookshma (means not visible to naked eyes) dehas and if we offer them the sesame (gingili) and water they accept that, and bless us directly. There are only three times a year that we can strongly influence and help our departed ancestors elevate to higher plane where in return they will bless us for our well being. - Thai Masam Amavasya :New Moon (15 Jan to 15 feb) - Adi Masam Amavasya : New Moon (15 July to 15 Aug) - Purattasi Masam Amavasya : New Moon (15 Sept to 15 Oct) This coming Thai Masam Amavasai (New Moon) on 22 January 2012 the departed souls will visit the earth plane to bless their relations. Performing tantric rituals for them on this special day is very important for both our material and spiritual enhancement. They can bless us with greater health, wealth, prosperity and enlightenment.....
Thai (Makara) Amavasya falls on 23-Jan-2012 and Vasant Panchami on 28-Jan-2012. In this connection, I include one rare stuti for each occasion. 1. Pitru Stuti - Brihad Dharma Puranam - this is a short, sweet and rare prayer to Pitrus by Lord Brahma in Chapter 2 describing Pitru Matru Bhakti. This hymn is prescribed to be chanted every day morning, in front of one's father as an obeisance to him, one's own birthdays and on the Shraddha days of forefathers (Pitrus). Lord Brahma says that this is capable of atoning all sorts of ill deeds by one and pleasing Pitrus.
I shall try to put it here..if available with me in my system... else you have to google it please. Regards
