[Advaita-l] Bhishma Ashtami Tarpanam

[Venkata sriram P]

Yes...Kamalakara Bhatta has expressed this and clarified later by saying जीवत्पितृकस्याप्यधिकारैति बहवः....

So, one need not express any apprehensions.

rgs,
sriram

 Namaste
 Sriram-ji,
 Thanks for
 re-minding and high-lighting on Bhishma
 Ashtami.
 Although,
 many have indicated adhikara for the jivatpitru (father
 alive) as said by you, however, surprisingly, Smrtikaustubha
 has suggested nisheda for jivatpitru for the Bhishma
 tarpana.It says "Jivatpitrukasya
 NaatraadhikaraH", Sapituhu pitrukrutheyshu naadhikarah
 kathanchana".
 
 RegardsRamachandra

 मध्याह्नव्यापिनी
 अष्टमी ग्राह्या - says
 निर्णय सिन्धु.  However, if one
 doesn't have time and should leave for office, they can
 do after morning sandhya just like
 ब्रह्मयज्ञं.
 
 
 
 This should be done only by dvijAs as positioning of
 यज्ञोपवीतः is mentioned.
 
 
 
 एवं अपसव्येन तर्पणं
 कृत्वा आचम्य सव्येन
 अर्घ्यं दद्यात् .
 
 
 
 In some traditions, whose father is alive ie.,
 जीवत्पितृकः, even tarpaNa also is done
 with सव्य​ position.  We do like this.
 
 
 
 Yes...brahmacharis & gruhasthA males should perform
 irrespective of whether their father is alive or not.
 
 
 
 एतज्जीवत्पितृकस्यापि
 भवति । जीवत्पितापि
 कुर्वीत तर्पणं
 यमभीष्मयोः...says the निर्णय
 सिन्धु again.
 
 
 
 Both Bhishma & Yama Tarpanas should be done irrespective
 of whether one's father is alive or not.
 
 
 
 rgs,

  Pranam,
 
 
 
  Is this performed after Pratha Sandhyavandana?
 
  Are females and non Dvijas allowed to perform? Is it ok
 for
 
  Brahmachaaris and Gruhastha males to perform if their
 father
 
  is alive?
