Tarpanam Puja for Departed Ancestors
Aug 10, 2018 10:00am-12:00pm (ended)
Honoring our Departed Ancestors through Tarpanam on Karkidaka Vavu Bali.
"Through this ritual we are showing our respect, our gratitude, towards our departed ancestors. Giving verbal thanks only remains as words and does not get translated into action. By partaking in this ritual, we are performing action - spending some time for others, spending money for them and chanting mantras. We therefore get purified, creating positive vibrations." - Amma
Pujas performed on the day of Vavi Bali will benefit and appease deceased family members, regardless of when they passed away. On this day, the MA Center will be conducting a Tarpanam ceremony to pay homage to departed ancestors. This participatory ceremony will be led by a devotee.
'Tarpanam' is a traditional ritual where oblations are offered to departed ancestors. The ceremony will include a guided participatory puja, (each participant will have their own individual puja setting) and chanting.
Read more about this ceremony conducted at Amritapuri, Amma's main ashram in 2015 - Tharpanam/Vavubali 2015>>

Use the call box on your left just before the outer gate to communicate that you need the gate opened to drive through. Then follow the road past the temple. The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
