Śrāddha karya's are rituals that are performed for the departed ancestors. This is usually done twice a year and tarpana on every amāvāsyā. As the current generation keeps moving away from sampradaya this information is the need of the hour. #AskPanditKatti
sāṃvatsara śrāddha is the annual ritual that is performed for the departed ancestors. Another period of śrāddha is during Pitru Paksha. While sāṃvatsara śrāddha is done for a specific ancestor (father, mother, etc), the Pitru Paksha is done for all elders who have passed away.
There are many teachings as to why śrāddha is required. Manusmriti teaches that one year on earth equals one day of the pirtris. Pinda Dana is done which is nourishment for the pitris. #AskPanditKatti
The evaluation of Rahu and Ketu has been mired in confusion if not controversy. Opinions differ across many #Jyotish texts. Laghu Parashara gives the most logical direction to solve this puzzle.

First the issue of Lordships. Some prefer #Aquaruis and #Scorpio as the sign lordships for Rahu and Ketu. All the Rasi's have lordships based on physical grahas. So the question is - Can nodes who aren't physical, but only mathematical points be lords?

Rahu in #Aquarius and Ketu in #Scorpio are better placed due to their matching tatwas with the rasi lordships. The famous dictum does mention this -
Shanivat Rahu & Kujavat Ketu. There are more secrets. Stay tuned. Sri Raama
