Sodhambam, Masikam, oonam, Aapthikam

[ramamoorthysrinath]

Respected Guru,

My unmarried elder brother, living in the US has not been able to perform the maasikams for my father who attained daiva patham last Septemper 27,(2011) in Trichy. However, he performed oonams( 27-30, 40-45, 340-355 in USA & 170-180 in Trichy)

I ( wife & 2 children), as per the advice of our Vaadhyar in Bangalore, have performed the maasikam & oonam for the last 12 months(parvanam with Homam & Bhojanam).

Sastrigal in Trichy has advised that my elder brother should perform all 12 masikams before the apthikam Oct 15th, 2012), along with us in Trichy.

Request your esteemed advice on who should do what, in case of unmarried elder brother living abroad , married second son in India & (Mother & un married 3rd son) living in Trichy.

respectful regards,
adiyen.

Sri:
I don't want to interfere in the past done masikams.
Now you are having every right to perform the Varusha Apthikam and successive yearly shradhams separately.
So, you do not worry about your elder brother's karma.

If you want to convey my opinion to him, convey the below:
We don't know how he did the past masikams in a foreign country,
any how there is no chance to redo the oonams which once left can not be done in future.

If the vadhyar willing to do all the previous masikams combined at one time
that can be done as parvanam if it is done on the 12th (final) masikam day by keeping
one swamy for each masikam.

If it is done on the Varusha Apthikam day itself, it can not be done as parvanam
but it can be done as Amam dhatham which will be useful to satisfy the vadhyar and others.

If both you and your elder brother willing to do the varusha apthikam combined it can be done for this year only.
From next year you have to do it separately.

Note:- doing a shradham with oupasanam is not considered as superior and
a shradham done without oupasanam or even without agni is not inferior as per shastram.

A lady doing a shradha karma for his husband without agni is as equal as done by a son with agni santhanam and oupasanam.
