Radhe radhe, hopefully, that answers your question Forgive me if i have made any mistake or confused you. The mere fact that the ramayana doesn't mention rama performing the ritual is subsequent years doesn't mean that he didn't do it In any case, there are plenty of vedic descriptions of the annual shraddha ritual, so it's definitely not of recent origin. If shraddha falls on ekadashi day, should it be done on same day or done on dwadashi What does puranas, smritis say about it
If done on ekadashi, how to feed brahmana while they are fasting The ancestral offerings are more important than the performance of rites dedicated to gods Anyone not doing them properly becomes impure and hence unfit to perform any other rituals And, this impurity is a permanent one unlike the impurities related to birth/death 2 i have a curious question on shraddha ceremony we perform, during shraddha we invite brahmins for brahmana bhojanam as per ritual we invoke our pitrus (vasu, rudra and aditya) on body of brahmins and serve food for them and these pitru devatas are responsible for giving these food to our forfathers in whatever form they are. Some people say he can perform tarpanam to his mother, grandmother, great grandmother only not for others, whereas some people say a son cannot perform tarpanam to his mother while his father still being alive (even though he has the right to perform and doing shraddha rituals every year).
In chapter 4 verse 39 of geetha, lord krishna told that a person with shraddha achieves gnanam In this context what is the exact meaning of shraddha according to scriptures? If soul gets rebirth into another body how does pinda pradanam and shraddha rituals reach that soul Our shastras say son should do shraddha ceremony till end of his life for his father and forefathers, so if father's soul has already taken rebirth how does these shraddha cermony and pinda pradanam reaches to that soul? Two additional brahmins represent mahavishnu and vishvedevas in the shraddha rituals Throughout the first year, the family of the departed soul is in mourning as the soul is still a preta
The mourning period comes with strict rules that prohibit many things including the performance of festivals, visiting temples, etc. This is last chapter in the karma Origin of shraddha ritual is not the same as pitru devatas's origin This question is mainly about practice and not the devatas or loka If you have problem accepting an answer, you may comment on it clarifying the same Writing answer is not the correct way
In this answer it is stated that sons can offer pinda when father is alive Also, here in skanda purana it says that krishna offered pinda when vasudeva was with him But in practice, normally, chi. Thus the essence of the shraddha offering is delivered to them by the pitr devatas Detailed as discussed about who has the right to do shraadha, siblings of the same gotra are included and the process is the same.
