[Advaita-l] QUESTION ON THARPANA&SRADHA

[R Krishnamoorthy]

Dear
Glad your parents are alive. Better ask your father about these things. In
case he feels not competent enough ask your family priest. These things
vary from family to family. Traditional observance is more important.
R. Krishnamoorthy.
