Prelude
A brief significance and understanding
about Tharpanam:
1. What is Tharpanam?
Tharpanam
means offering food for the satisfaction of a deceased person (Ancestors)
called Pithru. The food could be either pure water or mixed with some eatable
item. Tharpanams are divided in to mainly 3 sections though other types of
Tharpanams are there viz. Deva/Brahma Tharpanam (Brahma Yagnam), Rishi/Kaanda
Rishi Tharpanam, and Pithru Tharpanam. During Deva Tharpanam the water is
offered through first four fingers tip, Rishi Tharpanam water is offered through the right side of palm after bending four fingers and Pithru Tharpanam offered
through Thump fingertip. Tharpanam and Srardham have undergone three major changes
ever since Indus Valley Civilization viz. 1. The Vedic Period, 2. Grihya
Soothra Period, 3. Puranic Period and now we are in non-puranic modern
scientific period! More changes are expected the way we are living in today’s
world. Apasthamba Rishi, his Guru (Bhodhayana Rishi) and his disciple
(Hiranyakesin Rishi) composed three important Dharma Sutras based on Krishna
Yajurvedam approximately 2800+ years back and we a lucky to be blessed by them.
2. What are the types of Tharpanam practiced in our era?
1.
Udhaka Tharpanam (Pure Water), 2. Thila Tharpanam (Black Sesame Seed along with
pure water), 3. Sirodhaka Tharpanam (Wiped water from the head), 4.
Sareerodhaka Tharpanam (Wiped water from the body up to hip), 5. Vaasodaka
Tharpanam (Water offered by squeezing wet cloth - This is part of Apara Kriya
during the first 10 days of death), 6. Pinda Tharpanam (Cooked raw rice ball,
water, ghee, curd, and Thil).
3. How many Tharpanam to be conducted in a year (Samvatsaram)?
1.
Paksha - Amavasya Tharpanam (12 times), 2. Maasa Sankramana
Tharpanam (12 times), 3. Soorya and Chandra Grahana Tharpanam (No fixed
numbers), 4. Samvathsara Tharpanam (1 time), 5. Ayana Tharpanam -
Utharayana/Dakshinayana (2 times), 6. Sraardha Dina Tharpanam -
Eaka Vargam (1 time). Total of 96
Tharpanams are conducted in a year.
4. Tharpanam is meant for whom?
It
is meant for our own departed ancestors, unknown relatives, gurus, friends,
servants, mahathmas (Example Bhishma Pithama) along with their Dharma Pathnis.
Gothram and Name is very important for Tharpana Kriya in Yajurveda Abasthamba
Soothram and there should not be any mistakes in it. Some other Veda Soothras
does not give importance to name and gothram but Pithru Sthanam is important
for them. If the correct addressee is not specified in the Sankalpam, then the
Tharpana/Srardha benefits will not reach the targeted person however it goes to
Gothra Pool for common distribution under the instruction of Swadha Devi. If
the name is wrong, then our own Pithrus will get only a portion of the
offerings not the full course of food. The Kartha will be responsible for this
error. At the end of the day, Bhaavam is very important at the time of
performance.
5. Who is eligible to do Tharpanam?
All
living human beings must do for their departed blood relatives. The only
difference will be its elaboration and methodology between Bhramins and other
Varnees. Brahmins should do all Tharpanam, whereas others should do at-least during
the time of Death, Ayanam and Srardha Dinam. Of late, due to negligence and
lack of knowledge and interest, it is now left with Brahmins only. Due to the
Kali Era effect even many Brahmains are not performing this wholeheartedly due
to circumstances.
6. What is the difference between Tharpanam and Argyam?
Both
are offering water as food to a celestial body. Pithru Tharpanam is offered to deceased
ancestors who are suffering from hunger and thirst until they get another body
to collect and consume their own food. Whereas, the Argyam is offered to
Deities, Gods and Goddesses, living Wiseman/woman, etc. Water has the most
significant role in Tharpana Kriya why because, the water is the main source
for everything i.e. creation, sustain and dissolution. According to Vedas, the
Creator Paramathma created 3 types of fire elements from Pure Water and stored
them in an appropriate place. Those fire
energies are Sun (Dhaiveega Agni), Mortal Body (Bhautheega Agni) Lamps
and Yaaga Agni for rituals and worship (Vaideega Agni). The Soul is also an
energy and water is inevitable. Therefore, through the pure water we can reach
our offerings to the departed souls; wherever or whichever form they are now.
7. Why should I do Tharpanam?
It
is your duty if you are alive, this is what Vedas says. There are 5 unavoidable
duties are given to human beings to pay back their inherited debts (Rrunam). These
are known as 1. Deva Yagnam, 2. Bhootha Yagnam, 3. Pithru
Yagnam, 4. Rishi Yagnam, 5. Athidhi Yagnam. Yagnam means an
effort or an act for the welfare of the other person when does with genuine
faith and interest. When they (Now Pithru Sthaanam) were alive, they gave you
birth, food, shelter, position, respect, wealth and sacrificed so many
comforts. What can you now offer them other than just a Tharpanam or Srardham
to your departed loved ones? They are not tangible but exists somewhere by
leaving their DNA in us. Anyone who enjoys their hereditary properties and
he/she did not perform the at-least a Tharpanam will surely undergo severe
punishment for enjoying free properties and its derived benefits. Please note
every loan has an interest. It is the
law of nature! There is always a give and take the policy to be exercised in our
life. Moreover, it is a matter of respect and compassion towards the departed
souls. Thinking about them on a specific and auspicious day makes a huge
difference in our life. If our DNA relates to their DNA, we must do the best
offerings as prescribed by the Rishis, in fact, this will benefit us more than
them. According to Puranas, Pithrus can only bless or curse! choose what do you
want from them!
8. Will I get a sin if I don't perform Tharpanam?
Ethically
- YES, Logically - YES, Scientifically and Vedanthik view - NO.
9. Should I conduct Tharpanam for the suicide / accidental
death person too?
Tharpanam
can be done only when the departed soul has joined the group of Pithru Varga
Sthana (Network of Pithrus Vasu-Rudra-Adithya) through a Vedic process. Strict
rules and regulations are mentioned for the suicidal and accidental death cases.
Unless the Kartha (sole hire of the deceased) do all recommended Prayaschitha
and regulate their status, it is not possible to offer them direct Tharpanam. Until
united with Pithru Vargam, their status will be Bhootha/Pretham and wander
around the banks of water resources. By hearing holy names of God, they can get
Karma Sareem and come back to transmigration system with horrific lifestyle.
10. When Ubhaya Vamsam (Varga Dhwayam) and Eaka Vasam (Eaka
Vargam) Tharpanam is offered?
Except
Srardha Tharnam day, all other Tharpanams are offered to both Vargaas (Ubhaya
Vamsam - Paternal and Maternal). Vargadhwayam means total 6 + 6 = 12 Pithru
members (Example Father and Mother, Grand Father and Grand Mother, Great Grand
Father and Great Grand Mother - both paternal and maternal sides).
11. How many Dharbha Grass is used for the Tharpanam
activities?
Pavithram
made of = 3 grass, Koorcham made of = 5 grass each set, Katta Pullu = 4 each
(for Aasanam). Some use only Dhabha Sthambam with 7 or 21 Dharbaas instead of
Koorcham.
12. Why Pithru Sthaanam has only 3 clans? What will happen to the
previous ancestors?
Pithru
Devathaas are 7 members. 4 visible and 3 invisible personalities. Though the the human race is always referred to as 7 generations, yet the Pithru Sthanams
(Status) are considered only 3 stages known as Vasu-Rudra-Aadithya
Swaroopam (3 generations) plus Viswedavaan who will accompany them to the
Kartha’s house. They are Pithuhu-Pithamahan-Prapithamahan / Mathaha-Mathru
Pithamahi-Maathru Prapithamahi - paternal side and Matha Mahan-Mathuhu
Pithamahan-Mathuhu Prapithamahan /Matha Mahi-Mathuhu Pithamahi-Mathuhu
Prapithamahi - maternal side. Whenever the new 4th member (Latest Pithru is known as Vasu-Roopan) joins the Pithru Parampara (Club), the existing Prapithamahan
or Prapithamahi will either get Moksham or take next birth. (According to
Sasthram once a soul departs from the body, it will come back to next life
[re-incarnation] within 3 years or in the 3rd generation). This is one of
the reasons why the offerings are stopped after the third stage. Even according to
science, in fact, the DNA index/effect will deplete below 50% purity, hence
lesser benefits for the Kartha.
13. When do I start the first Tharpanam?
After
the first-anniversary Srardham (Varsha-Aabdheekam) the forthcoming Amavasya can
be considered. There is no hard and fast rule that one should start only in
Utharayanam and someone should initiate etc... First-timers must do this only
under the supervision of Kula Aachaaryan/Kula Vadhyaar or knowledgeable elders
to avoid mistakes. All male children can perform, and wife/sisters/other relatives
can offer help. Alternatively, some Acharyaas recommending to start immediately
after the Subha Sweekaram by next Amavasya or any other Punya Kaalam such as
Gruhanam, Masa or Ayana Sankramanam, etc...
14. How to do Tharpanam?
There
is a Vedic way and there is a Laukik way. If you are well versed with Vedic way
do it with good faith and spirit as per the details are given in this book. If you
don't have knowledge, ability or circumstances then follow the Laukik way as
per below, though this is not our subject here. Our aim is to help and educate
Karthas to do Vedic way of this function without any external help.
THE LAUKIK
WAY:- After taking bath to wear a cloth they like and stand facing east looking
at the Sun, take a pot (mud or copper or brass or silver) of pure water and hold it in your hand
(if possible put 7 numbers of sesame seeds in it), close your eyes, think of
the departed soul, and tell them that today I am remembering you…today you left
me alone by accepting the command of creator…and…I became helpless…I am no one
without you…let few drops of water role out of your eyes…I want you to be with
me to guide me …you are my everything…with my pure heart…I am offering you this
pot of water…kindly quench your thirst…and bless me…wherever you are…I remain
at your feet…then pour the water in the earth. Make 3 times rounds from where
you stand and prostrate in front of Sun. Thereafter, offer food to deserving
poor people. The whole day you think of the departed person and his/her good
and merciful acts. Rest assured, you have done justice to your Pithru Rinam
(Debts towards ancestors).
THE VEDIC WAY is given below in a comprehensive manner. Please make use of
it and full fill your duties towards ancestors.
15. Will I get any benefit by doing Tharpanam?
YES
- directly as well as indirectly. This is basically a DNA system concept. We
are receiving or connecting ourselves with DNA through Manasa-Vacha-Karmana
form. When we offer Water and Thil to them, they get satisfied and a blessing
is given to the Kartha as a reciprocation. By the way the Thil (Sesame Seeds)
was exclusively created by Devas for the purpose of Pithru's satisfaction or
Pithru's food. Pithru's eatable menu is restricted to Raw cooked Rice, Thil,
Water, Urdu Daal and Pure curd (From single cow). Their direct blessings come
in the form of Prosperity, Progeny, and Pace of mind in the family. Now let us
see the indirect blessings (assume the 4th stage Pithru gets reborn or attained
Moksha) - we get to see many unknown persons helping us by way of giving us food,
cloth, shelter, money, protection, jobs, facilities, comforts, etc although we
are not eligible for it. Why should these unknown persons be helping us? These
unknown persons are none other than our own ancestors or our Gothram/DNA member
of the past. Now, there are two scenarios a) If they get Moksham (Liberation)
then we get a jackpot of huge blessings at once. b) if they take re-birth as a
child to someone, that someone will become the reason for our welfare in society. In other words, this newborn child will play a subtle role in his/her
parents to take care of us. These two ways, all Pithru Karma Karthas will
benefit one way or the other.
16. Where Pithru Devathaas and Pithrus are living?
Swadha
Devi’s world is called Pithru Lokam assisted by her Seven Pithru Devathas in
total. All of them are living in Swarga (Deva Lokam). Whereas, human Prithrus will
live either in Swarga or in Pithru Lok or in Naraka Lok. According to Jyothi
Sastram Sarva Pithru Dinam is considered on the “Makham Nakshathra” day. Also
note, the amount of Pithru Dosham or Pithru Anugraham accumulated in Kartha’s
account can be ascertained by looking at his horoscope 8th and 10th
house.
17. Only humans are performing Tharpanam and Srardham?
NO.
Seven Pithru Devathas were created by Brahma and instructed them to avail the
offerings given by Devas as well as Humans. Out of these Seven, four Pithru
Devathas have physical bodies (Sthoola Sareeram) and the other three are having only
subtle bodies (Sookshma Sareeram). Humans are performing Tharpanam/Srardham to
get the blessings of their Pithrus through these four Pithru Devathas at the
same time Devas will conduct to receive blessings from the three Sookshma
Pithru Devathas.
Sthoola Pithru Devathas are Four (4) they are: Kavyavaahan, Analan,
Soman, Yamen.
Sookshma Pithru Devathas are Three (3) they are Aaryamaan, Agnishathwa, Barhishathwan.
18. Why Tharpanam and
Srardham are in this manner?
Acharyaas
kept Tharpanam and Srardham in a complicated and painstaking manner, so that
the Kartha will undergo certain difficulties and uncomfortableness on the day
of offerings. Now, imagine, how much our parents might have undergone the
trouble, pains, sufferings, and hunger to raise us? One must feel the pain so
that the Bhavam and Bakti will come to offer them water and food to
voluntarily.
19. All dead ancestors are
Pithrus?
NO.
You can’t just get the Pithru Sthana because you died. This is a web or network
to be created by the Kartha through Vedic procedure known as Apara Kriya and
admit the dead person’s Aathma Sakthi (Emotional Soul) with his existing 6
members Pithru network.
20. When is the right time to perform Tharpanam?
In
Vedic lifestyle, everything has a time (Muhoortham) to perform so that the
Kartha will receive maximum benefits/rewards for his actions.
1.
Amavasya Tharpanam day: Amavasya must be minimum 12 Nazhika balance (5
hours from Sun Rise of location) otherwise, conduct on the previous day or Srardha Thidhi Mohoortham Day (Please refer to
Panchangam and select the Tharpana Thidhi day. The right time is between 10:00 –
12:00 Hours.
2.
Maasa Sankramana / Ayanam / Samvathsara Tharpanam: Exactly
like Amavasya Tharpanam between 10:00-12:00 Hours.
3.
Grahana Tharpanam: For Solar Eclipse once the eclipse starts and for
Lunar Eclipse at the time of leaving. Kindly note both Tharpanam must be done
only in Krishna Paksham.
4.

Notes to remember:
1.
Stainless or Iron vessels are prohibited. Please use
Copper/Bronze/Silver/Mud Pot etc.
2.
Upaveedhi – Poonal position from left to the right side
(normal way – Devatha Sankalpam)
3.
Prachinaaveedhi – Poonal position from right to left
(opposite to normal way – Pithru Sankalpam)
4.
Katta Pullu and Koorcham Placement: Make 2 rows facing
east/west, on top, lay Koorcham Head in North and Foot in the south (Madhyama
portion, looks like a head, in the North and Agram+Moolam portion in South direction).
Udharani may be placed on top of the Koorcham for stability.
5.
Depends on the family tradition, you may or may not wear
Thilakam / Raksha.
6.
Before you perform Tharpanam or Sraddha Karma, please
make sure that your Mala-Moothra (Stool+Urine) bladders are empty and try to be
empty stomach until completion.
7.
I have used “:” Ha, Hi, Hu instead of Sanskrit symbol
for pronouncing the same in words.
8.
Amavasya Thidhi Tharpana Rule: On the day of Amavasya,
there should be a minimum balance of 20 Nazhika (8 Hours) from Sun-Rise should
be an available otherwise previous day (You may say Chathurdhasyam Thadh Upari
Amavasyam Puniya Thithow).
9.
As per Sasthras, to get full benefits of Pithru
Tharpanam, Kartha must do first Pratha Sandhya Vandanam then Pithru Tharpanam
then Brahma Yagnam after that Ishta Devatha Pooja. (In this way, the half-day will get
over, therefore I suggest including “Desa-Kala-Paristhithyam Yadha Sakthi
Hiranya Roopena …. Karishye)
10.
I have used sample Gothram, Pithrus' Names, and Panchanga
details. You need to replace with yours (Kartha).
11.
This is prepared to assume Kartha’s both parents are no
more. Therefore, in case of any one of them or more are alive then the
Sankalpam and Pithru’s names will change.
12.
This is based on SMARTHA Sampradhayam, Yajur Vedha
Vidhi, Apasthamba Soothram.
13.
Kartha should wear light border or borderless Pancha
Gachham and Anga Vasthram (Uthareeyam). Brahmacharis need not wear Panchagacham
but Anga Vasthram along with Veshti is a must. Alternatively, Brahmacharis can
wear 8 yards’ cloth in Moolagacham style. Best practice says you must wear
undergarments and not to expose your secrets parts to Bhoomi Devi.
14.
Keep a cloth for wiping your hand as well as clean the
floor after Tharpanam. No one should step on the floor without cleaning.
Ideally, the wife or mother or sister should clean the floor for better rewards.
15.
Never wash your hands in the Tharpana Thambalam while
or after the performance. Particularly during the function, if the Koorcham moves
then automatic upasthanam takes place not only that the touching Pithru Jalam
is not auspicious before Upasthanam.
16.
Darsa Srardham (Amavasya Tharpanam) to be done for
Paternal and Maternal ancestors without exception.
==============================================================================================
Special Notes:
It is recommended that you replace
these example names in various places and take a print out for your personal
use. You may have to check with your family elders for correct names etc.
[a] In case the mother is alive, this would
be Asmadh Pithamahi – Pithuhu Pithamahi – Pithuhu Prapithamahischa
[b] In case the mother’s mother is alive, this would
be Mathamahasya Mathu – Pithamahi - Prapithamahischa
[c] For Mesha Sankramam (Vishu
Punya Kalam), Karkadaga Sankramam, Thula Sankramam,
Makara Sankramam, Soorya Grahanam (Solar Eclipse), Chandra Grahanam (Tharpanam did during
solar/lunar eclipse, last quarter) and in the case of Paraheni
Tharpanam did after Sraddham, Purvedya Maya KruthaMathru
PithruPrathyabdhika Sradhaangam
Thila Tharpanam Karishye. Please note in case of Paraheni Tharpanam, the offering (Tharpanam) is done to only Pitha Varga
Pirthus (paternal side).
[d] Mahalaya Paksha Tharpanam Manthraas
are more elaborative due to more members included.
[d] Kartha using only one Koorcham, please do Avahanam chanting as Asmin
Koorche Vargadvaya Pithroon Dhyayami Avahayami.
Please take note of the combination of scenarios that can exist: Please
consult your Vadhyaar (Purohit) to fix the right Manthra for your Avahanam and
Tharpanam.
1.
Paternal Side: Kartha’s Mother is alive
2.
Paternal Side: Kartha’s Mother’s Mother is alive
3.
Paternal Side: Kartha’s Father is alive
4.
Paternal Side: Kartha’s Father’s Father is alive
5.
Maternal Side: Kartha’s Mother’s Mother is alive
6.
Maternal Side: Kartha’s Mother’s Grand Mother is
alive
7.
Maternal Side: Kartha’s Mother’s Father is alive
Maternal Side: Kartha’s Mother’s
Grand Father is alive
Now let us move into Manthras and Prayogas.
================================================================

Pavithram
Druthwaa (On your righthand ring finger)
Dharbhe-shwaaseena:
(Put few Dharba Katta Pullu under your seat) then wash hand, thereafter
Dharbhaan Dhaarayamaana: (Hold 2 Katta Pullu or more, U-shaped
under Pavithram, ring finger).
DEVATHA SANKALPAM
(OATH – RESOLUTION) – Poonal Upaveedhi
(Left-hand Shoulder to right bottom). Reason when you sit facing East, the Poonal will flow from North to
South, whereas for Pithru Karma (Pracheenavidhi) it will be from South to
North). North and North-East is Deva Sthanam and South is Pithru-lokham and
Yamapuri. This Pithru Yagnam you are doing to liberate the Pithrus from Pithru
Lokam to Deva-lokham. You are being their living representative in earth, you
are expected to extend this help for the departed souls.

Now you need to remove the Dharbha
Katta Pullu under the confluence of Pavithram and leave it in North-West corner
(Vayu Moola) or on your left side (North-Kubera Moola) or South side. Then,
change the position of your Poonal to
Upaveedhi (Left Shoulder) and wash your hand.
AVAHANAM
OF PITHRUS (Pitha Gothram) – Poonal Pracheena Veedhi.
Own Father and
Grand Fathers & Own Mother and Grand Mothers (Spouses). FIRST KOORCHAM AVAHANAM
Take few Ellu (Aprox. 7 seeds only) with your right
hand (using only middle+thumb or middle+ring+thumb fingers) and start saying
the Manthra for Avahanam. Ellu must be offered in reverse hand side. (Inviting your departed ancestors and
requesting them to be seated on the Koorchaam specifically placed for them).
Top Koorcham for own Fathers & their Spouses and bottom Koorcham for
Mother’s Fathers and Spouses. Please note there is no hard rule for top or
bottom allotment. However, I have assigned this because to overcome confusion
in case arises during the function. Example chanting and Avahan in one Koorcham
and the water offered to another Koorcham will ruin the entire purpose of
Tharpanam.
