Many
people are under the impression that tarpana should be done only
on amavasaya day. Tarpana should be done for 98 days in a year.
In fact the Garuda Purana clearly states that tarpana for elders
can be done whenever the Brahmins visit the house itself.
In
this article we will give tarpana dates. The dates will be in the
month-by-month manner. The main reason for giving tarpana dates
is that, these days lot of people are getting easily confused about
the dates the tarpana can be given. It is purely given with the
service mentality and attitude.
According
to the scriptures following is the days tarpana should be done for
elders.
-
12 Amāvāsya, which most people do.
-
12 Sankramana the month beginning, when sun comes in to zero
degree in any rasi.
-
15 days in Pitru Paxa (Bhādrapada Krishna Paxa)- this is called
as mahalya or puratasi in Tamil ie when sun comes in to kanni
rasi. Tarpana should be performed for the whole 15 days of krishna
paksa or paksa leading to amavasaya.
-
Vaidhruti and Vyatīpāta yoga (2 in every month totals to 24).
This many people donot know due to the lack of astrology knowledge.
-
Pūrvedyu, Ashtaka, Anvashtaka (Saptami, Ashtami and Navami)
of Bhādrapada-( aug 15 - sep 15), Margashira- (nov 15 - dec
15), Pushya-(dec15 - jan 15), Māgha - (jan 15 - feb 15) and
Phālguna (feb 15- march 15) Krishna Paxa, totals to 15)
a.
Kruta, Treta, Dvāpara and Kaliugādi days.
b.
14 Manvantara.
I
am Ill equipped to find these dates. If some reader can send me
the details about it will be very helpful.
All
these days tarpana should be done. Also it should be done before
marriage.
