SrI: Respected swamin, Please check with vEdiks about reuse of darbhai, especially pavithram. When some one is the kartha for more than one homa at a time, I have seen the vediks insisting on not using the same pavithram throughout. After the kartha has intiated one homa and moves to do sankalpa of the other homa, the pavithram used in the first homa is secured and kept in the custody of the vediks of the first homa. This will be returned to the kartha when he resumes his seat in the homa. When he takes his seat in the other homa, a different pavithram is used. After the completion of the homas the pavithrams have been discarded. Another practice from family circles is that elders used to insist that it is not enough that we place the darbhai on food stuffs during eclipse, we must also see to it that it is removed after the eclipse is over and discarded. I have read specific instruction to this effect in books on tarpanam and and such other practices. Regards, jayasree saranathan. --- In Oppiliappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, rajan s <rajan_ramaswamy@xxxx> wrote: > > Dear Swamin > > > There was a seies of information shared between members regarding > tarpam used for tarpanam and other karmas. > > I may add that tarpam can be reused and there is no bar for the same. > > After tarpanam is over, the knots can be untied carefully and can be > used again. > > This will help in places like U.S.A. where tarpam has to be used > sparingly due to non availability. > > I have seen that the grass growing on the banks of sreams in U.S. are > not stiff or long enough. > > Adiyen > > Soundararajan > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
