Annual shraaddhaas
Annual shraaddhaa is performed during the paksha and month of the parent's passing, on the day of the thithi. Nimitta riiti or nimitta maarga (paarvaNa or saN^kalpa) shraaddhaa which most people follow in India, is normally performed by inviting three guests, representing (1) mahaa vishhNu (2) vishvedevaa(s) and (3) pitR^ii(s). After the daily homa is performed, shraaddhaa is performed by invoking the three svaruupaas among the guests, followed by shraaddha bhojana. Some people also offer vastra daana, and other daanaa(s). When it is not feasible to follow the above procedure, shraaddhaa is performed by offering rice, other provisions, and vegetables. (aamaruupa shraaddhaM) The least one can do is to perform shraaddhaa in the form of tarpaNa. The following is the procedure for tila tarpaNa ruupa shraaddhaa for pitR^i or maatR^i. parehaNi shraaddha is performed on the day following the pratyaabdiika shraaddha, and is usually done as tarpaNa. The routine is similar to the tila tarpaNa ruupa pratyaabdiika shraaddhaa and the necessary modifications to the saN^kalpa are shown below in parentheses. |
