Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 SB 7.15.2: A person desiring liberation for his forefathers or himself should give charity to a brahmana who adheres to Advaitavaad or impersonal monism (Jnana-nistha). In the absence of such an advanced brahmana, charity may be given to a brahmana addicted to fruitive activities (karma-kanda). SB 7.15.3: During the period for offering oblations to the demigods, one should invite only two brahmanas, and while offering oblations to the forefathers, one may invite three brahmanas. Or, in either case, only one brahmana will suffice. Even though one is very opulent, he should not endeavor to invite more brahmanas or make various expensive arrangements on those occasions. SB 7.15.4: If one arranges to feed many brahmanas or relatives during the Shraddha ceremony, there will be discrepancies in the time, place, respectability and ingredients, the person to be worshiped, and the method of offering worship. SB 7.15.5: When one gets the opportunity of a suitable auspicious time and place, one should, with love, offer food prepared with ghee to the Deity of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and then offer the prasada to a suitable person — a Vaishnava or brahmana. This will be the cause of everlasting prosperity. Richard Shaw Brown, PG Musician, Designer, Gemologist & Author www.richardshawbrown.com Get your preferred Email name!
