All,
Today, with the blessings of mother’s soul, we have completed the 3 days rituals of her first year Abhdeeham. We were greatly guided in this effort by Sri Swaminathan Sastrigal, a 92 year old priest on first day rituals. Yesterday we completed the devasam (Which guides mother's soul -one year journey to heaven) which took about 3 hrs with all devasam rituals etc. Seetharaman, the main priest did a fabulous job which mother would have approved. (He was also one to lead us for all the 13 days of rituals including the cremation, as well as monthly rituals in coordination with our family priest Mr Ramamurthy).
Today, we performed, subhasreeharam with Navagraha, Ayush homam. 6 priests were present. So from tomorrow it is back to business as usual after 355 days or so with all rituals, celebrations in order.
We plan to visit Karaikudi / Karisulthamangalam (Tinnaveli) next week.
PL find few photos taken today. Gayathri, Anand, Chinna (Mom’s brother) was present all 3 days.
We are thankful to everyone for their support in terms of words, resources, logistics, rituals, cooking food... It is deeply appreciated. I am sure mother would have seen everything from up there and would have approved of it!
Karthik.
