If you have the power of ancient then you have to go the rules.

By focusing the solely on gross of the sciences, there are many of these subtle which is measured are which has been not practiced, even forgotten in western countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a Funeral rites and &lt;strong&gt;Shraddha&lt;/strong&gt; which is extra from all the sides.

As such, as we see the shraddha which is a “debt of the dead” or “ceremonies of the dead” it shows that the dead people alive among us. The Lord of death, which was Yamaraja enables the dead ones which is over come to the earth and which have to deads from the descendants. This was the work as the practice which is made to the dead petras and pitras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally, considered most of desirable and efficacious when Shraddha which is performed by a son. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203100963653898318-8694696129048082367?l=festivalsportal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://festivalsportal.blogspot.com/feeds/8694696129048082367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5203100963653898318&amp;postID=8694696129048082367' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203100963653898318/posts/default/8694696129048082367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5203100963653898318/posts/default/8694696129048082367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://festivalsportal.blogspot.com/2008/10/pitra-paksha.html' title='Pitra Paksha'/><author><name>Krishna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08181124588932687149</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_GkuQDScRKGc/SCPS2IBZRLI/AAAAAAAAAUI/CYYnaQvOxls/S220/IMG0100A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GkuQDScRKGc/SQAuiDioIiI/AAAAAAAAEVs/gNkB2-K6vdc/s72-c/pitra_pakhsa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203100963653898318.post-7866613813802045993</id><published>2008-10-12T07:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-12T07:18:30.547-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Onam Festival'/><title type='text'>Onam Festival</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Onam Festival In India&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GkuQDScRKGc/SPIFRlP9qPI/AAAAAAAAD8E/WOL7nIphhuM/s1600-h/onam-festival.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256269514709772530" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GkuQDScRKGc/SPIFRlP9qPI/AAAAAAAAD8E/WOL7nIphhuM/s400/onam-festival.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Onam Festival Photo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Onam celebration&lt;/strong&gt; is single and mainly significant of Kerala or &lt;strong&gt;south India&lt;/strong&gt;.
