This is a holy karma performed for seeking the blessings of sri rudhra or parameshwara.vrishabam means bull or bull calf. uthsarjanam means leaving something out. A bull coloured blue,red,or black along with calf or calf alone is subjected to a pooja and left out for roaming independently. After the karma it is the custom to donate the bull or calf to a temple nearby. Dharma sastras says that by performing the karma of vrishaba uthsarjanam the deceased will get relief from the sins on account of actions in their life like gohathi and brahmahathi. In addition theyn will get a better and higher status in the celestal world. vrishaba uthsarjanam is of two kinds. 'neimithikam' and 'kamyam' . neimithikam is done on the 11th day. This is done between 8-24 am to 10-48 am in sanghra kala. this 11th day is based on cremation day as the first day. and not by treating the day of death. Kamya vrishaba uthsarjanam is done during one's own life time for seeking the blessings of parameshwara and to get swarga loka for himself. This is done on kaarthigai full moon day; or aipasi or vaikasi full moon day. during midday between 10-48 to 1-12 pm after having finished naandhi sratham in the morning on that day. Dharmasastras say that this kamya vrishaba uthsarjanam will get one the blessings of devas, maharishis and fore fathers. A bull calf with a red body, white on the face,tail,leg,heels,and horns is called a blue calf. It should be one or two years old. By doing aavaahanam of sri rudhran on this bull conducting a pooja on it, and allow it to wander freely is called kamya vrishba uthsarjanam. on the eleventh day after vrishaba uthsarjanam first month massikam should be done. this is also called aadhya masikam. Masikams are the karmas done every month for one full year on the ''thithi'' of the day of death. when this fiest masikam is performed, as the deceased has still not reached the stage of pithruthwam he is still considered as a prethasswaroopi. As the person (brahmin) who takes part and eats food in this masyam will get more dosham to a large extent and it is difficult to find a person for this. As per vedha vaakyam all devas and pithrus remain a part 'agni' the agni bagavan himself is treated as a brahmin for eating the food, of the aadhya masikam. 32 handfull of rice should be put on homam for this purpose, The sastras indicate that one should take only 32 handfull of cooked rice per day. Here only the dead person is called for aavaahanam without viswedevar and other pithrus this is called ekodhistam or eka homam. Further to this aadhya masika sratha is again done on the same day with another brahmin . This is called aavrutha aadhya masikam. ( repeat first masikam). Since this is the first sratha done for the deceased with homam it should be done with devotion and sincereity. further the food items must be prepared by the blood relatives only. rather than others. For the guest in the kartha's house food can be prepared by others and served. In the ekothita sratham prepare two agnis. homa agni in north. to the right side of this pinda prathaana medai. to the right side brahmin sthanathil prathista agni.. think that this is pitha facing west. to the west of this aasanam, paadhyam, argyam,aachamanam; thilothagam etc. should be given there. praachinavithi, first start with brahmana sthana agni and do prathistai; Imagine that agni as west faced pretha roopa pitha, give aasanam, krisaram. thamboolam. oil to take oil bath; snanam;aachamanam; anugai; aasanam; sangalpam; varanam; agni prathistai; paristharanam. north to agni havis paathra sadanam, prokshani samskaraml south argya grahanam. aavahanam; padha prakshalanam; varanam; argya saadhanam; vasthra upacharam;agni pariseshnam; ahha homam; punar parishechanam; brahmana bojanam; thruthi prasnam; thilothga dhaanam; dakshina dhanam, brahmana visarjanam, pindsa dhanam; snanam; punyaham. Masi sratha kramam: anugai. no dhoopam/ deepam,no namaha sabdham; no swadha sabtham, sangalpam. thithi vara star yoga karana dosha nivrithi charity,brahmin sthanam to the west of agni; aavaahanam;argyam; in the north of brahmin sthaana agni sopread ellu and place dharbhai facing south. thilothaga paathram vaikkavum. make one pavithram with one dharbhai and place it facing the nuni to south direction in the ellu water brass sombu. chant manthram while pouring water in the brass sombu, remove pavithram and drop some black till on it. argya prathanam: in the west of brahmin sthaana agni in a brass vessal add some water put the another vessal on it by using uthirini take water from argya paathram and give it to brahmin as argyam.no pariseshanam; pour ellu water on the havis.no namaskaram. then facing south payasannam mixed with ellu and ghee using pithru theertha murai do homam for 32 times with homa manthram.after this pretha pithaha annampaaneeyam, thrupthosi, amrutha pitha namasi, hastha padha prakshalanam; achamya, pour water near agni. dakshinai; thaamboolam; brahmana visarjanam give one darbai say vaje vaje manthram. In the south side of homa agni pinda prathanam. then dakshinai; pindam and other cooked rice used for pinda pradhanam should be thrown in the river or sea. Tenth day prabotha bali cooked rice and savary on those days it was given to the barbers. now a days barber shop wala are not taking this. so it must be thrown in the river or in the sea. Then take a bath and do punyahavachanam. HAS THE KARMA BEEN DONE PROPERLY? HOW TO KNOW.?What is the corrective act is necessary for a karma not rightly performed? We may experiance some bad dreams. If a big mistake had been made , it may be necessary to re do the karmas. Some of the serious faults that one should avoid are: Change of Kartha during the Karma period. Change of cooking vessal used for making pinda; Changing the offering place of the Pinda; The partly immersed stones disappearing; "Unclean" relatives participating in the Karma. In some cases it may warrant to redo the Apara karma. If minor slips happen then,it will be helpful to have the following corrective measures. The Kartha himself or thru eloders can get the following evets done in the house of the deceased. The Kartha himself or thru well experinced vedic pundits can conduct Parayan (recitation) of Sri mad Ramayanam for 9 days in navaham format. Srimad Bhaghavatham Parayan for 7 days in sapthaham format. with ghatasthaapanam and the Kartha must take bath in the ghatasthapanam water. Conducting complete vedic recitation in the premises of the deceased within a year. Taking bath in holy rivers like cauvery, godhavary etc; praying for the good status to the deceased with prescribed sankalpam and giving away donations. To donate to the needy. Black till or rice mixed with til or fully grown black gram dhall. On the day of the masika day donation of food and or vasthram can be made to the poor after the masika sratham is over. One can assist in kind and material to domestic help and the people employed by the kartha. The pithru tharpanam on amavasya day and tamil month begining of the month days can be performed under a Bilva tree. If the above mentioned corrective measures are adopted properly pithru dosham (curse) will get removed and will result in benefits to the family |

Hence those who have no son or daughter should determine beforehand , as per the order listed above , the persons(karthas) who should perform the karma after his death. It is important that one should determine the person who will do the karma as their heir apparent . by transfering his weath and properties to the kartha well in advance and should be known to others also. There is no restriction. One can make anybody his/her heir.But one must select a person after determining the person's abilities , committment and sincerity for performing aparakarmas and sratha ceremonies every year. that person will be called ABHIMAANA PUTHRAN, While selecting the kartha the order of precedence should be maintained.and sequentially the elimination should happen before the kartha is selected. If the kartha is not selected in the above order , the samskarams performed by the kartha is futile and it does not reach the pithrus.. It is the duty of all to make sure that we do the final rites and the subsequent ceremonies to the deceased so that the jeevan attains peace in the heavenly abode. While selecting the kartha the order of precedence should be maintained.and sequentially the elimination should happen before the kartha is selected. If the kartha is not selected in the above order , the samskarams performed by the kartha is futile and it does not reach the pithrus.. It is the duty of all to make sure that we do the final rites and the subsequent ceremonies to the deceased so that the jeevan attains peace in the heavenly abode. His immediate younger brother is having full power to do last rites for the person who is not having children. or the younger brother's son is also eligible, in case his younger brother expired before him. for the persons who is having only one daughter his brother is eligible.His brother's son is also eligible. his- son- in- law is eligible. If his son in law is also having very old mother and he is the only son for his mother he may refuse to do last rights for his father-in-law. because he will not be eligible to do last rites for his mother , if his mother expires with in one year. The act of expalaining to the son or daughter or other close relatives about the good nature and help rendered by the deceased and give condolences to them is called Enquiring about the grief. When some one dies his/her jeevan will remain for ten days from the day of death at the place where aparakarmas are being performed. |
During all the ten days the jeevan will remain invisible and in a very subtle form,listening to the words spoken by the visitors ,making the enquiries and observing all the events at the place. That is why it is necessary during those ten days to enquire about the grief and recall the good deeds and help rendered by the deceased soul to others. These acts makes the jeevan of the deceased happy. gossip should be avoided. should not talk ill of the deceased.during these ten days. Our sastras says all the friends of the deceased must also come and those helped by the deceased should visit the house to enquire grief. It is best to make the enquiries on the day of death, and remain close to the bereaved and assisting them.If this is not possible, one can visit the house on even days except monday, tuesday and friday., even the monday is an even day thanjavur dist. people will avoid going to the deceased house. If the husband dies while the wife is alive , the obsequies enquiry should not be made on tuesdays and fridays. and ladies should go there after consuming some food and tieing one manjal in the saree thalapu. On the first day and on the 10th day all can go to enquire. there is no restriction. On the first day you may go for enquiry till the body of the deceased is still on that house. you should not go on the first day after the body left the house. On the first day, those making enquiry should leave the house before the karma is started for the body. If they cannot leave before karma starts , they should leave the place only after the karmas are finished and the body leaves to the cremation ground. One should not leave the place in the middle. Those who proceed to the cremation ground on the first day should remain there, till the karmas are finished. Some custom suggests that people should also visit the next day for sanchayanam. People who visits the the house of the deceased for condolences should to the extent possible not come in close contact with those of the house avoid bodily contact. Friends and relatives except close relatives who are visiting the house for condolence should not consume any food or drink in the first ten days. even though it is brought from outside and outsiders are serving you. Those who don't follow these restrictions may not derive the full benefit of their pujas,japams, homas etc; After making condolences and before entering one's own house ,the person should bathe head to toe in the rear of the house or in the river or pond. In addition the person should again wet his feet before entering the house. When one travels to another town or city for condolences, he/she should first to go to friend or relative's house , then visit the house of the deceased for condolence. After the visit, he/she must return to the friend/ relative's house again, have a bath and then return to the dwelling place. If one happens to go directly to the deceased's house for condolence , then he/she must not visit any house on his return but straight return to the dwelling house. Our maharishis with their foresight and considering the welfare of the people have shown restrictions, they are bound to derive the maximum benefit of the good deeds one does in his/her life time. |
