Few musings on the occasion of pirtru-paksha.

We are supposed to do tarpaNa for all our ancestors (at least 5 paternal and maternal generations before us) daily. Then there are brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, friends etc).

When one does a tarpaNa for one's great great grandfather, the chances are (unless he was real realized being who is liberated OR a real bad person who still in pishacha yoni) that the person is already in some new body in next birth.

All of us, who are reading this tweet (and those who exist in human form right now on this good planet) must be grandfathers/mothers of someone.

If that someone is doing tarpaNa for "us" in our previous form, we will get it (even if we don't understand it).

Now think of a world (as prescribed by shruti-smruti-puraNokta dharma) where everyone does tarpaNa to all their ancestors (at least 3 to 5 generations)

Everyone is doing tarpaNa for their ancestor. And Everyone is getting the tarpaNa (in new body) from some of their descendants.

But now, the times are such that I have to do tarpaNa (and pitruyagna) daily without expecting that someone must be doing it for me.

But at least wherever my forefathers are currently, in whichever yoni or in whichever family, I hope they are getting satisfaction peace.

The ecosystem (where everyone does tarpaNa for everyone else) must be a beautiful indeed.

Not just while doing tarpaNa - every interaction with any other human being in our network can be a potential interaction with one of our forefathers (from last 3-5 generations) in new body

I hope and pray they all experience truptee (satisfaction) and shaanti due to my efforts.

I think of these nitya-karma rituals as means of spreading peace and happiness in the world.

That must be the fruit of this nitya-karma. Nothing else.

Shree Raam...
