Dear SrImans Anbil Swamy and Lakshmi Narasimhan:

For many of us Asoucha Sathakam compiled by
HH IdhAnim SrImath Azahgiya Singar is an authoritative
reference source . Here are some comments based on
that reference work and the ultimate decision is based on
one 's AchAryA.They are only a telephone call away to help.

The asoucham ( Theettu ) in the case of Vruddhi
is a mutifaceted Question depending on whether
(1) the child was born at the house of the  parents'
as in old days ; today , the parents come to overseas
homes of their children to assist before & after  child birth ,
which takes place in hospital . Back in India too ,
most of the child births do not happen at home
with the help of midwife as in olden tiimes. The duration of
the Theetu itself is different to different relatives
in these different contexts depending on
(1) whether the  the child was born in  a hospital setting
or (2) the person expected to observe the Theetu is
in the same country or abroad .

There are also two kinds of karmAs that we have to take
into account : (1) Rishi Kaaryam like VedArambham
( UpAkarma ) or (2) Pithru Kaaryam , when it comes to
Theetu . Vruddhi ( Birth related theetu ) is not exactly
Pithru Kaaryam . The point here is that the Rishi Kaaryam
like UpAkarma needs a different level of judgement
than Pithru Kaaryam in terms of cancellation or
Postponement of karmAs for shorter and long  durations.

Another complication is whether the  person belongs to
Yajur or Saama Veda Saakhai . Even among Yajur Veda
observers , the different AchArya Paramparais have picked
different dates for Upaakarma . Hence , in the case of
an individual concerned about Theetu , the ruling by
their AchArya would be pertiment  . Otherwise , the recommendation
will not be content specific .

Under the circumstances , it appears safer to postpone
the observance to the Next PoorNimA .

vrudhdhi theettu. It has to be observed only in the next paksham, i.e. next
poornima. The exact day etc. can be found out from Panchangam.
