Guest guest Report post Posted December 4, 2006 Brahma yagnam is nithya karma for all brahmacharis. Pithru, rishi tharpanams should be done only by a father less person. nvs - " nofeartolove " <nofeartolove <vaideekam-owner > Monday, December 04, 2006 2:36 AM Re: Brahma Yagnam Dear nvs and others, I'm new to this group and this is my first e-mail. I was searching in google to find out if anyone can do Brahma yangam or not and I found some interesting messages here and hence this e-mail. I'm not sure if Brahma yangam can be performed by everyone or only by people who do perform amavasai thrapnam for their pirtru's. This is because in the Sandya vandham books i have Brahma Yagnam section also has Deva, Rishi and Pitru tharpanam's and I'm confused whether this should be performed by everyone. Please clarify if I can ignore the deva, rishi and pitru tharpanam part of the bramha yagnam sections and only perform the first section Brahma yangam mantras which is mentioned by you below.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 10, 2009 Adiyen has herd a lot of mention about Brahma Yagnam and its performance as a nitya karma. But try as I might, I'm unable to find any reference/ procedure of this duty. Also, most of the Sri Vaishnavas I have met are not fully aware about this ritual. Why is this?

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2009 Brahma Yajna is for clearing our debts towards Rishis, and that is done through teaching and reciting of Veda. While recitation can be done, the true brahma yajnam is through imparting the Brahma vidya. It is less a formal ritual, unlike Daiva Yajna. , " mlranganathan2001 " <mlranganathan2001 wrote: > > Adiyen has herd a lot of mention about Brahma Yagnam and its performance as a nitya karma.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2009 Sri: Srimate Ramanujaya Namaha Dear Sri Dasharathi Swami, I think the sankalpam and procedure for Deva-Rshi-Pitr tarpanam was missed from your mail. Can you please add this? (There is usually some confusion on this...adiyen has clarified with two established and respected veda-adhikaras that the Pitr tarpanam as part of Bramha-yagnam is to be performed by all dvijas and is not be be confused with other pitr-samskarams.) Sri Sadagopan Iyengar's inspiring article on Bramha-Yagnyam was published in Sri Ranganatha Paduka a couple of months back. Couldn't find the online posting. Can someone please share the URL is available? In addition to the other mentioned by Sri MaamandoourSwami, another good reference for Bramha Yagnyam is Bramha-Yagnya-Chintamanih ed.

If you are looking for one with step-by-step pictorial instructions, the series on Sandhyavandanam by MB Publishers (edited by Meenakshi Balu) and available at Giri traders is very handy, though there are a few typos in the samans.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 14, 2009 Dear Sri Dasharathi Swamin, Devarishiu, Khandarishi, Pitru Tarpanam is to be performed by all, who had Brahmo-badesam done. This has to be done after performing Prathasanyavandham, before performing Brahmayagnam. After Pranayamam, we have to the sangalpam as, " Sri Bhagavathaagnyaa Sriman Narayanapreetyartham/Bhagavath preetyartham., Devarishi Khandarishi, Pirtu tarpanam karishye", with the dyanam of all Devadas, Rishis and Pitrus have Bhagavan as Antharyami. After performing Devarishi tarpanam facing Eastern Side and Khandarishi tarparnam facing Northern Side, we have to perform Pitru tarpanam facing Southern side with yagnyopaveetam in Pracheenaveetam position. This pitru tarpanam has to performed by all without any exceptions. Adiyen had this information from Vadakalai Nithyanushtanakramam by Lifco.
