RESPONSIBILITY

Everyone has responsibility to discharge duties and one among them
is "Pithru karma". We are required to perform Shraadha karmas
(pithru karma) after the demise of Father. Failure to perform the
enshrined duties will earn the wrath of Pithrus and ultimately cursed
by them. "Pithru tharpanam" means "to satisfy pithrus".

Here Pithrus are those passed away and referred to as "Pithru
Vargam", Mathamaha Vargam" respectively. Should anyone want
peace, wealth and good health for seven generations - they should
perform pithru karmas without interruption. Failing to execute
these karmas or performing without much interest but as a routine,
will not keep the Pithrus happy. Therefore, we request everyone to
do it according to laid down procedures and Shradhaa.
Besides these two pithrukarmas (each year shraadham), doing
Amaavasya tharpanam, Mahaalaya paksh, Maasa SangramaNams,
Eclipse (sun&moon), are important.

WHOM TO PERFORM THARPANAM
1. Those not having Father &/or Mother, must do.
2. Such Tharpanam Pithru (Father) Vargam will comprise of 6
persons. If Mathamaha (Mother Lineage) still lives, then no
need to perform Tharpanam for that Lineage.

I. Prapithamahar Mothers Gt Grand Father
FEMALE LINEAGE
J. Mathamahi MothersMother
K. Mathu: Pithamahi Mothers
L. Prapithamahi Mothers Gt Grand Mother

If all the 12 persons are no more, then performing Tharpanam for all
the 12 is MUST. If anyone is still living, then one more person to be
added from the previous lineage.

For example: If in pithruvargam, grandfather is alive, then the
sequence will be Pithru (father), Pithu: Prapimamahar (grand
father's father), Pithu: Prapimamahar (grand father's grand father)
to be performed.
Likewise if mother is alive, Pithamhi, Prapithamahi, Pithu
Prapithamahi - to be performed.
If mother is not alive (pithamahi), Matha, Prapithamahi, Pithu
Prapithamahi - to be performed.
Similarly, before beginning the Tharpanana mantram, remember
clearly the name, gothram or keep it handy (refer to chart above)
and then begin Tharpanam.
