My Father has expired on 02/01/2012 and I don't know what are the customs to be carried out? Kindly guide me what else I want to do? Presently I am in Tiruchirapalli Tamilnadu. Whatever Vathiyar says I am doing but I don't know what is actual customs? Also I came to know from Vathiyar that if Masiyam can't be done every month then it can be done in every six month is it so? Kindly help and guide me which will benefit me and all those who don't know our customs. Thank you

S.Jayaram
 
Kindly note I am writing in the thread anthim karyams anthyesty in 4th page and also in the first page. It is a very big and it will continue.
 
Namaskaram gopalan sir. Thanks for the reply. I have done upto grakikeyam and tomorrow that is 30/1/2012 am to 27th day. Kindly reply what are the rest to be carried out upto one year. Whether masiyam to be done every month or six months once can be carried out? Please reply what is actual customs? I will try to do the best.
If the reply will be big then kindly let me know any book is available? We are Yajur vedham and the Gothram is Naithru Kasiyapam.
 
Sodhakumbam: From 12th day to 365th day except on masiyam and oona masiyam day daily sodhakumbam must be done. It is not possible now a days. So everymonth sodakumbam must be done in the previous day to masyam. Masyam must be done every month on death thithi day.

masyam should be done like sratham. In each sodhakumbam day one brahmin will take food and will take brass sombu( one litre capacity) filled with water as charity. for 12 months. upto varushaabdheekam.

details will be coming in the anthim karyam thread.

Sir, you may put poonal to your son. According to dharma sastras only after one year you may go to temple based on olden days life.style.

Now as per latest life style you can go to your relatives marriage and also to go to temples without kodimaram after 3 months.

Details of upanayanam and the requirements ; I will write shortly in rituals ceremonies and pooja s in a new thread. in this forum.
