What should YOU do during the Mahalaya Ancestor Fortnight Do tharpanam at dawn on all 15 days of this fortnight from the first day onwards. Must do Karunya Tharpanam also.

GIVE clothes, footwear, cooking utensils, foodstuff, etc. to poor people. http://www.Agasthiar.Org/a/mpma2010.htm. Do tharpanam with poor people and THUS teach them how to do tharpanam by example. Visit lots of Pitru Mukti (ancestor salvation) sacred spaces, particularly the Siddha sacred space (see below) for this Mahalaya Ancestor Fortnight. Water the "sthala vriksha" Temple Trees in these sacred spaces. Do tharpanam in these sacred spaces. Do "dhaana-dharma" (charitable giving) in these sacred spaces. Chant the special Pitru Gayatri Mantras given by Sathguru Venkataraman. Chant the special Pitru 108 Name Mantras given by Sathguru Venkataraman.

You have to put in your time and effort yourself if you want the reward from the exalted Pitru ancestral beings. Scroll down for more info.

EASY Tharpanam Method of the Siddhas - YOU CAN DO IT! Doing tharpanam is easy. YOU CAN DO IT! Use the simple tharpanam method of the Siddhas given by Sathguru Venkataraman. If you have questions, ask us. Daily tharpanam is important, but offering tharpanam worship on all 15 thithis (days) of this annual ancestor fortnight is THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.

Topic List for the "Kaivalya Gnana" Mahalaya Paksha of the Siddhas - Sep 2010 Vikruthi Year The special Siddha name for this 2010 Mahalaya Paksha (ancestor fortnight) is "Kaivalya Gnana" Mahalaya Paksha, said Sathguru Venkataraman when he entrusted us with many Siddha secrets regarding the future.

List of Pitru Mukti (ancestor salvation) sacred spaces. Do Tharpanam with the poor and the uneducated The importance of teaching poor and uneducated people how to do tharpanam by doing it along with them. For FREE, of course. Do NOT corrupt this sacred process by charging for it. Do Tharpanam for 4x64=256 departed ancestors Do tharpanam for 4 x 64 = 256 departed ancestors during this fortnight. (Basic tharpanam is only for 4 x 3 = 12 departed ancestors.) Palm leaves, names, Tamil numbers during this ancestor fortnight.

Karma, Ancestors, Selflessness Karma is the cause of births. What causes karma? What is true selflessness? How are truly selfless acts counted? Selflessness and spiritual advancement. The blessings of pitru ancestral beings and the result of such blessings. One's good karma coupled with the good karma of one's ancestors. How about people who don't have that much good karma? Why? Why? Why? Why are some people always unhappy even though they are wealthy? Why is there no peace in some families? Why do some people have to struggle all the time? What is the Siddha secret behind these? What is the solution?

These levels depend on their shakti to uplift hundreds or thousands or millions of people. Non-stop hard work done by the pitrus - truly selfless - for the sake of our upliftment. They give their hard earned shakti for our advancement. That is true selflessness.

What is Pitru Paksha? Paksham = Fortnight (one full waxing or waning phase of the moon). Pitru = Exalted Ancestral Beings. So Pitru Paksham = that fortnight of each year that is dedicated to the worship of exalted ancestor beings. While daily worship of the Pitru ancestor beings is important to discharge our daily debt to our ancestors, Pitru worship is particularly important during the Ancestor Fortnight (Mahalaya Paksha) every year. This Ancestor Fortnight is one full waning phase of the moon that generally occurs in September of each year. The culmination of this waning phase (of 15 thithi days) is the special New Moon Day known as Mahalaya Amavasya which marks the most important Ancestor Worship Day of each year.
