To:

May I request you all, (whether you are Hindu, Christian ,  Muslim or atheist )  to chant this mantra  and offer  little flower, water and a sincere devoted prayer on 21^st July  for your forefathers who   gave you your body and life. They gave you the opportunity to come to this world   and enjoy.  Wherever you are, which ever part of the world you are chant this mantra  and  silently pray for a minimum  five minutes

 

Manthra and its meaning for the pithru tharpana to be held on 21^st July, during Karkitaka vavu/new moon day (karkitaka amaavasy)

 

Aabrahmano ye pitru vamsa jaathaa maathu thaththaa vamsa bhavaa madeeyaa:

Vamsa dwayesmin mama daasa bhootha  bruthyaa thathiva aasritha sevakaascha

Mithraani sakhya pasavascha vruskshaa  drushttaascha adrushtaascha kruthopakaara

Janmaanthare ye mama sangathaascha thebhya  swayam pinda balim dadaami

Maathru vamsey mruthaaayescha pithruvamse thathaiva cha

Guru swasura bandhoonaam  ye chaanye  baandhvaa mruthaa

Ye may kule luptha pindaa putra daara vivarjitha

Kriyaa lopa hathaaschaiva jaathyanthaa pankavasthathaa

Viroopaa aamagarbhaascha jnaathaa ajnaathaa kule mama

Bhoomou datthena balinaa thrupthaayaanthu paraam gathim

Atheetha kula koteenaam saptha dweepa nivaaseenaam

Praaneenaam udakam dattham akshayyam upthishtathu

Avasaaneeyarghyamidam

 

Meaning of the above manthra

In this world those who were borne in the clan of my father and mother

And all those who are  related to me directly or indirectly

Those who were my servants  for the last two janmas

All those who  served  and helped me  and depended on me

All those who were my friends and associates

All those plants and animals whom I depended for my life

All those who supported me directly or indirectly

All those who associated with me for the past many janmas

For all of them I myself offer this pinda, flower and water and prayer

For all those who passed away from the kula of my  mother

And also from the kula of my father, gurus, relatives  and in laws

For all those who were not fortunate to receive the pinda in the past

For all those who suffered without the support of wife/husband and children

For all those who could not do good to others  due to many reasons

For all those who were borne, lived and died  in poverty

For all those who were ugly  and also who died prematurely

For all those who died in the womb of mother without seeing the world

For all known and unknown  relatives of  mine lived   and died

For them too I offer this prayer , pinda , water   and gingely with tulasi

I offer all these on this earth  for making them immortal and happy in their own world

For all those who were living   and for all the creatures and living beings

Existed /lived  on the seven continents for many million years

I offer this pinda and water  for  the happiness of their soul to rest in peace

Let them   be happy  in their own world  blessing all of us and the  world

Let me offer once again a drop of water  to you Oh ! my forefathers !
