Introductory comments:
shraaddhaa is the performance of prescribed rituals in memory of parents who
have passed on to the Spiritual Dimension. shraaddhaa means - an act performed
with shraddhaa (care, devotion, love and respect). pratyaabdiika shraaddhaa is the
anniversary, performed on the day of the Annual tithi to a parent, be it a father or
mother who is no longer alive.
In addition to pratyaabdiika shraaddha, one has to perform shraaddhaa on
amaavaasyaa thithi every month, if the father is not alive. These shraaddhaas are
called darsha shraaddhaa or more commonly tarpaNa. Given below is the
procedure for amaavaasyaa tarpaNa.
amaavaasyaa tarpaNa is to be performed for three generations of parents on the
father’s side (pitR^i, pitaamaha, and prapitaamaha with corresponding patni
swaruupaas) and three generations of grand-parents on the mother’s side
(maataamaha, maatuHpitaamaha, and maatuHprapitaamaha with corresponding
patni swaruupaas). The spiritual postions (swaruupas) assumed by the three
generations are vasu, rudra, and aaditya, for males and vasu patnii, rudra patnii,
and aaditya patnii for the spouses. If any one in this hierarchy is alive, the next
person higher in the lineage takes that spiritual place (sthaana) and is substituted.
tarpaNa for grand-parents on mother’s side is not to be performed if maternal
grand-father is alive.
tarpaNa is also to be performed on the first day of the months, meshha (meshha
sankramaNa puNya kaala), kaTaka (kaTaka sankramaNa puNya kaala), tula (tula
sankramaNa puNya kaala), and makara (makara sankramaNa puNya kaala).
There are two other tarpaNaas to be performed - mahaaLaya tarpaNa done during
the mahaaLaya paksha which falls during simha and kanyaa months, and
parehaNi tarpaNa done on the day following the annual ceremony.
The procedure for amaavaasya tarpaNa is given below. maasa sankramaNa
tarpaNa(s) are done similarly with some changes to the saN^kalpa. These changes
are indicated in parentheses.
All religious samskaraas require initial guidance before one can use written texts
for performing the rituals independently. Please seek the guidance of someone who
performs tarpaNaas regularly and follow the text herein.

saying the above mantra, sprinkle tila

(sesame seeds) over the place where the
darbhaas will be placed for tarpaNam.
arrange two rows of straight darbhaas in
East-West orientation for the base, as shown
in the sketch. Of the four bhugnaas, take only
two and lay one single bhugnaa on the left
(assuming you are facing South) and another
on the right, a short distance apart, with the
bhugna tips facing South. The bhugna on the
left is for pitR^i varga and that on the right
(Western side) is for maatR^i varga.
Put aside the other two bhugnaas for now.
