Day Of Remembrance Of Our Forefathers
ஆடி அமாவாசை ஏன் அனுஸ்டிக்கபடுகிறது? ஏன் குறிப்பிட்ட தினத்தில் கடைப்பிடிக்கின்றோம்? எல்லாரும் விரதமிருப்பதற்காக விரதமிருப்பதா? (How can doing doing Tharpan pooja for ancestors considered as pooja for God?,Why one should do Tarpanam/Sharddham to dead relatives on this day ?,Why bathing in the ocean equals bathing in all the auspicious rivers?) என எனக்குள் எழுந்த வினாக்களுக்களுக்கான தேடல்களுடன் ஆடி அமாவாசை தொடர்பான விரிவான தொகுப்புக்கு செல்லலாம்....
Aadi Amavasai, the new moon or the no moon day in the Tamil month Aadi (July-August), is a day of remembrance of our forefathers in the Hindu culture. Aadi is the month when Sun is in the zodiac of Kataka (rasi)/ Cancer. It is the house of Moon (Moon is the lord of Kataka). Amavasai / full moon day is the day when the Sun and the Moon rise and fall at the same time.As far as astrology is concerned, the Moon is MANOKARAKA (the planet which determines psychological factors and self confidence).As far as science (astronomy) is concerned the Moon has gravitation/ magnetic pulling power, which makes the oceans have a high tide - as the sea water is attracted by the Moon.Amavasai will always give good results as it is the beginning of a growing phase of the Moon.
ஆடி அமாவாசை இந்து சமயத்தவர்களுக்கு மிகவும் புனிதமும் சிறப்பானதுமான தினமாகும். ஆடி மாதத்தில் வருகின்ற அமாவாசை ஆடி அமாவாசை விரதம் எனச் சிறப்புப் பெறுகின்றது. வானவியல் கணிப்பின் படி சூரியனும் சந்திரனும் ஒரே இராசியிற் கூடுகின்ற போதுள்ள காலம் அமாவாசை ஆகும்.
Why one should do Tarpanam/Sharddham to dead relatives on this day ?
there are two reasons for all our mundane problems - one caused by the planets, the other by departed spirits. We should constantly take care of them in order to have a peaceful life.Just as there is biological lineage of transference of DNA along the family line, there is spirit lineage. It is as though there is a spirit DNA as well. Your departed ancestors can help solve your problems.
The ancestors are known to live in Pitru Loka or the ancestral world. The 64 generations of dead ancestors can help solve your money, relationship, health, and other problems quite easily, if one knows how to communicate with them.
By performing Tarpanam ritual, you can connect with them and pray for peace to their soul and gain their blessings. It is also said that the Tarpanam ritual liberates your ancestors from any curse.
It is a process of satisfying the ancestors and enables one to negate the unwanted desires.
The main rites and rituals dedicated to dead relatives are performed on the riverbank or on seashore. The method of performing the rituals varies from region to region and from community to community. Usually, elderly people and priests help people perform the various rituals like Tarpanam and Sharddham.
சூரியனைப் "பிதிர் காரகன்" என்கிறோம். சந்திரனை "மாதுர் காரகன்" என்கிறோம். எனவே சூரியனும் சந்திரனும் எமது பிதா மாதாக்களாகிய வழிபடு தெய்வங்களாகும்.
சூரிய பகவான் ஆண்மை, ஆற்றல், வீரம் என்பவற்றை எல்லாம் எமக்குத் தரவல்லவர். சந்திரன் எமது மனதுக்கு அதிபதியானவர். இதனால் மகிழ்ச்சி, தெளிவான தெளிந்த அறிவு, இன்பம், உற்சாகம் என்பவற்றை எல்லாம் தரவல்லவர். இத்தகைய பெருமைகளை எல்லாம் தருகின்ற சூரிய, சந்திரனை தந்தை, தாய் இழந்தவர்கள் அமாவாசை, பூரணை தினங்களில் வழிபாடு செய்வர்.
How can doing doing Tharpan pooja for ancestors considered as pooja for God?
They say God accepts anything done selflessly for the betterment of others as a pooja done unto Himself.
So if one does tharpan sincerely for the spiritual elevation of ancestors, most assuredly that is pooja; not all of one's ancestors can be considered to be at an elevated pitru state. Many of one's ancestors could have taken birth as plants, birds and animals. Those with a lot of bad karma (suicide, abortion, etc.) may not even be able to take birth in a new body; they may be roaming around as disembodied beings desperately yearning for a spiritual push from some kind soul. One does tharpan selflessly for these souls so that they may advance in their evolutionary path. Rest assured that this selfless act of tharpan, done for those who have passed on, gets the appreciative nod of the Divine.
That is why during the tarpana rite, an oblation is also offered to all the souls who may or may not have anyone to do tarpana in their names.
ஆடி அமாவாசை தினத்தில் அதிகாலை நித்திரை விட்டெழுந்து தீர்த்தம் ஆடி, பின்னர் சிவாலய தரிசனம், பிதிர்தர்ப்பணம், அன்னதானம் செய்தல் என்பன முக்கியத்துவம் பெறுகின்றன.

Why bathing in the ocean equals bathing in all the auspicious rivers?
A fast (fasting) is observed by people on the day – some people only have a single meal on the day.
Hindus also take a holy dip in the various scared rivers, seas and sacred ponds or Teerthams. Agni Theertham in Rameswaram, Thriveni Sangamam in Kannyakumari and various holy ghats on the banks of Kaveri River are the most popular spots preferred for the holy dip.
Taking a bath in the seas is supposed to give great punya (goodness) as all the punya rivers come and join the ocean. Thus bathing in the ocean equals bathing in all the auspicious rivers

பிதிர் தேவர்களை சிரத்தையோடு வழிபாடு செய்து சிரார்த்தம் செய்வதால் பிதிர்களின் தோஷங்களில் இருந்து நீக்க முறலாம் என்பது இந்துக்களின் நம்பிக்கை. யாழ்ப்பாணத்து மக்கள் புரதான காலம் தொடக்கம் கீரிமலை நகுலேஸ்வரத்தில் தீர்த்தமாடுவார்கள். மட்டக்களப்பு வாழ் மக்களுக்கு மாமாங்கப் பிள்ளையார் கோவில் அமிர்தகழியில் தீர்த்தமாடுவர். திருகோணமலை வாழ் மக்களுக்கு கோணேஸ்வரர் ஆலயத்தில் தீர்த்தமாடி பிதுர் கடனைச் செலுத்துவர். ஆடி அமாவாசை காலத்தில் கடல் தீர்த்தம் ஆடுதல் பாவத்தைப் போக்கி விமோசனத்தை தருகின்றது.

Should I find a suitable time to seek God? Is it not enough if I worship him every day? Is it necessary that I must find a special day to pay devotion to him? All these questions run in my mind when people quote some special occasions to worship God. Once I had a conversation on this with my granny when she was explaining me the importance of Aadi month.Aadi Krithigai and Aadi Amavasai are such energizing occasions for humans to choose to rebuild your positive energy.
Special poojas and abhishekams are conducted at all temples especially at Lord Muruga temples.
Aadi month is of great importance to Lord Muruga, also known as Skanda and Subrahmanya. It is also widely believed in Tamil Nadu that all sins will be cleansed by taking a holy dip in the Shanmuga River in Palani on the Aadi Amavasya day. As a mark of respect and thanksgiving people also tonsure their head at Palani Muruga Temple on the day.
