Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Namaste, This is an extract the from the Pirtri Tarpana Manual."By thinking of the deceased ancestors with gratitude and trying to give them an emancipation, one is actually trying to free oneselffrom various kaarmic predispositions that one has as a result of the rina (karmik debt) with several people. One can view this as anexternal event of satisfying and emancipating an external entity (a pitri). Alternately, one can view this as an internal event ofsatisfying and releasing an internal kaarmik predisposition. Ultimately, it is the latter. However, one needs to externalize first andperform external rituals, while thinking of what it means internally. This builds up one’s visualization and slowly brings about internalchanges and eventually the desired internal change itself. One with living parents also can perform pitri tarpanas for departedancestors of this life and previous lives." The ritual specified in this manual (Pitri Tarpana) is to relieve you of your karmik debts that you may have rina with, who passed away in this life, but also in your various lives in the past.
