[Advaita-l] events during Pitru Paksha

[Ravi Chandrasekhara via Advaita-l]

Pranam,
Jaldhar ane Sujal, tamArun uttar mAte abhAr/dhanyavAd.

I have another question . For those whose parents are alive, outside of nitya karmas, are there any special rituals for a BrAhmaNA gruhastha male during pitru paksh?
