I know that there are several threads for the above. But, somehow, I could not find my specific case. Hence this question. Answer will be much appreciated.
We are three brothers (Vadakalai Iyengar) living in different cities. We used to do annual shrartham (PAARVANA HOMA) together, for mother and father (on different days) until 2019 in our elder brother's place. For 2020 and 2021, due to Covid restrictions, we did individually Hiranya Shrartham in respective places. For 2022, we would like to / plan to do the Davasa together again.
Questions:
(a) Is it OK to join again and conduct shrartha with a single HOMA by all the three?
(b) If we have to do more than one homas, can we do it in a single place? How many should it be?
(c) In such a case (more than one homa), should the cooking be totally separate or is there any other procedure? (When we did Gaya Shrartham, the cooking was common but the Payasam and Rice were cooked differently for each Kartha).
(d) Also in such a case (more than one homa), how many brahmins should be invited?
Thank you for your advice and effort.
