Dear Swamin,
>>MGV's comments: It is sroutha â means a vedic rites or rituals - as per
>>vedhaas â can take it as 'yagnaas'. Other is 'smaartha karmaa' â which is
>>a 'memorial service' â 'remembering and doing certain rites â can take it
>>as sraardham â which is in memory of those who passed away. Smaranam â
>>means remembering âleading to smaartha.<<
I believe smaartha karma is that which is primarily based on non-vedic text
ssuch as Smrithis (puraaNams). Shraaddham is primarily a shrouta (Vedic) rite.
We follow shrouta-smmarta tradition over all- meaning based on both Vedic and
post vedic injunctions. Even sandhya has some non-vedic elements in it- like
soem shlokams fo rGayatri, Saraswathi, saavithri, Sriranga mangal amanim etc.
dAsan,
