Clarification on Brahma Yagnam by Brahmachari with Parents alive

Need to get a clarity on whether brahamchari with parents alive can perform pithru tharpanam as part of Bramha yagnam or only should do sankalpam say 'Deva Rishi tharpanam karishye' and perform only Deva and Rishi tharpanam.

Can anyone clarify Please as per Dharma sastram what is the right approach?

Thanks!
Dear Sir,
Tharpanam is performed only after demise of Father and it starts only from Varushabtheegam. When you perform Bramha Yaganm after Tharpanam you can leave out " Oorjam Vahanthi .........." as it is included in Tharpanam itself.
Bramha Yagnam starts from Upanayanam itself. (Unfortunately no Vadhyar advise anything). Perform after Sandhyavandhanam, if you can do. Correctly saying you can eat anything only after this. Or you can do after Madyahneegam.

Thanks for your reply sir. Sir , the clarification that I had asked is on whether Pithru tharpanam coming within Brahma yagnam can be performed by my son who’s upanayanam performed recently and I want him to do Brahma yagnam . Hence the clarity required ..
 
Yes. in my view too, brahmayagyam which forms part of sandhya vandhanam, should omit the pithru tharpanam part for those who have parents alive. The vadhyar who teaches this during upanayanam and also during Avani Avittam every year they announce specifically to those having parents alive. It may be due to our misunderstanding we do get these type of doubts. Anyway, asking and getting explanations/clarifications is always good as otherwise it would be catastrophic.
 
சார், ஸ்ரீ வத்ஸ சோமதேவ சர்மா அவரது அமாவாசை தர்ப்பண புத்தகத்தில் பெற்றொர் உள்ள பையனும் பித்ரு தர்ப்பணம் ப்ரஹ்ம யக்யத்ஹில் உள்ளது செய்ய வேன்டும் என்று எழுதி இருக்கிறார்.
நன்னிலம் ராஜ கோபால கனபாடிகளும் அவரது ஸந்தேஹ நிவாரணி பாகம் -5; பக்கம் 86ல் தகப்பனார் உள்ள பையனும் ப்ருஹ்மயக்யத்தின் போது பித்ரு தர்ப்பணம் செய்யலாம் என்று தான் எழுதி இருக்கிறார்.

பித்ருக்கள் என்பவர் பல வகை குழுக்களாக இருக்கிறார்கள். திவ்ய பித்ருக்கள் என்பவர் இந்த ப்ருஹ்ம யக்ய த்தில் திவ்ய பித்ருக்களுக்கு தான் செய்கிறொம். அமவாசை முதலிய நாட்களில் அதிவ்ய பித்ருக்களுக்கு செய்கிறோம்.

ப்ருஹ்ம யக்யம் என்றால் வேதத்தை சொல்லுதல் என பொருள். . நாங்கு வேத ஆரம்பங்களையும் சொல்லிவிட்டு அதன் முடிவில் தேவ ரிஷி பித்ரு தர்ப்பணம் செய்கிறோம்.

Brahma yagnam is apart of the daily samskaras a brahmin has to do and should be done after sandyavandanam and Gayathri. It is remembering and thanking all the devas, rishis and Gods. It is not to be equated with Tharpanam merely because of the words "Tharpayaami"which you do when your father is no more. The pithrus would be all the Pithurs of your lineage and sarva pithrus. You can omit the tharpanam part and do the Brahma Yagnam daily irrepective of whether your father ia alive or not..
