Tarpanam question (Strong relation to our minds)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Narasimha Garu and members,

 

Today i performed Tarpna at one family's house at their behest. In the midst of

it, i was explaining the importance of this ritual on material as well as

spiritual aspects of our life. after the conclusion, one of the members asked me

a very relevent question. He asked me that the People whom we have strongly

disliked or Hated, The people who have behaved inimically towards us and and

vice-a-versa, have very strong effects on our minds hence they also should be

included in the list of Tarpana. i instantly felt the power behind his words and

agreed immediately.

 

what is your take? it seems to me a great idea to free ones mind from such

clutches of disliking and hatred of past lives including the current one?

 

Best Regards,

 

Utpal

self-identify with the soul more than the mind, while pitris identify with the

mind and its desires more than the soul. However, pitris too have souls and

gods/rishis too have minds, however subtle they may be. Homam works at the soul

level and tarpana at the mind level.
