[Advaita-l] Fw: Re: [advaitin] BhishmaAshtami - BhishmaEkadasi Celebration

[Venkatesh Murthy]

On Bheeshma Ashtami day all are required to give Tarpana and Arghya to
Bheeshma Pitamaha because  he died without any children.  If a person
does Sraddha of Bhishma he will get children.

Tarpana Mantra with Apasavya -

Vaiyaghrapadmagotraya SankRtyapravaraya Cha Ganga putraya Bheeshmaya
Ajanmabrahmacharine
Aputraya Jalam Dadmi Namo Bhishmaya Varmine Bhishmaha Santanavo
Veeraha Satyavadee Jitendriyaha
Abhiradbhiravapnotu Putrapautrochitam Kriyam

Arghya Mantra with Savya -

Vasunam Avataraya Santanoratmajaya Cha Arghyam Dadami Bheeshmaya
Abalyabrahmacharine
