Subject: Re: Fw: [Oppiliappan] Re: Cost of srardham 1.After agnisanthanm by wife and owpasanam etc., placing (dropping )
the annam with ghee in the Agni, for pithu, pitha maha, pravitha
mahan, mathu pithamahi and prapithamahi.
The mantram for this six homams are the same with slight change: "yanme maataa pralulobha charati ananuvradha thanme reta: ....... pita / pitamaha / prapitamaha .... vrungtaam ..... gotrAya sharmaNe Vasu / rudra / Aditya roopAya pitre / pitamahaya / prapitAmahAya swAhA" Meaning: this mantram stresses the real meaning for the term 'pitru' as : The Aahuti must reach 'the person who is the real cause for my birth' or 'the person by whoms 'retas' (semen) I was made' So, these are the perfect mantras So, these are very vital and really goes as food to the forefarthers 2. Placing annam on the floor before the leaf of nimantrana swamigal, after
serving food to them but before their start partaking the food.
Mantram for this action: Placing annam before pitru leaf: "asamskruta prametAye tyAginyoyA: kulastraya: dhAsyAmi tebhya: vikiramannam tAbhyasca paitrukam" Meaning: "The pitrus who had droped without proper samskaaram, for those pitrus trupti, I am placing this vikiram" 3. Placing the rice ball to crow
Mantram while placing the rice ball over a dharbha bhugnam: "agni dagdebhya: anagni dagdebhya: asmat kula prasuuti mrutebhya: ayam piNda: swatA nama:" Meaning: pitrus for who had crimated with fire or without fire (gaganam) and some shishus might have gone in the womb itself, for those type of pitrus I am placing this rice ball as food. 4. Pinda pradhanam with water and thil after the above. We are doing this with the same balance annam used for the previous pitru homam, These pindams are some anna roopa representation for those pitrus to do the shodasa upacharams like Argya, PAtya, Achamaneeya, vastra, gandha, pushpa, dhuupa, deepa, uttareeya, aaparaNa, alankaara, mAshApuupa, gudApuupa, pAneeya, tAmbuula etc. I have answered for a good question after very long time, you can send it through all your / our groups. dhanyosmi, dAsan, nvs
