This is a period of grief and joy. What is the grief? Within 3 months period teknics mama and athai passed away leaving two daughters. The 16th day of aunt's death was observed today. Early this morning about 10 member went to bhavani sangamam to perform rituals. According to holy hindu scriptures after death of the body and dissolve of astral mental and other subtle bodies the soul is seperated. The soul may take another birth according to its previous karma.The soul may face hardship during it's journey. The 16th day rituals are done to help the soul and guide it in it's journey. Another school of thought is that the dead ancestors (pithru) lives in separate world called 'Pithru loga'. The 16th day poojas are done as 'pithru dharpana'.
