SrI:
Dear All :
Few of you have written to me about the eclipse on March 14 and whether to
do
TarpaNam et al. I have indicated that this eclipse does not have GrahaNa
PuNya Kaalam due to Penumbral nature and therefore it does not require any
TarpaNam etc. This eclipse is visible in USA but not in India and yet based
on the Penumbral
as opposed to the Umbral or Total nature of other lunar eclipses , I have
come to this conclusion . If you still want to perform GrahaNa tarpaNam et
al , no harm will be done . It will be just superfluous . Please refer to
the local news papers for Moon
rise and local Eclipse times . You can also have a google search on these
topics
and Wikipedia search for Umbral, Penumbral eclipses. Those in India are
requested to contact their Matams/AchAryAs or local Bruhaspathys.
Please join the Vaidheekam Yahoo group , which is a treasure house on
anushtAnams and SamskArams . It is moderated by a Sara abjij~nar ,, whose
input on the current grahaNam is appended below . Please browse the
following web pages as well and perform your Nithya -Naimitthika KarmAs

***********************************************
" Dear Members,
about this eclipse on 14th March, I heard that 28 Snake Panjangam also had
given a statement that there will be no eclipse effect arround south India.
And Shri Ue. Ve. Vaduvur Ganapaadigal also clarified 'there will be no
"Punya kaalam" to perform tharpanam, so need not worry about htis eclipse
and there is a physical group of vaideekas called 'vaidhika sri' at Alwarpet
had conducted a meeting regarding this and announced, finally, "we decided
that it is not necessary to do tharpanam for this eclips, but still we leave
the decision to the individuals according to their family Bruhaspathis"
> This is the final version.
> So, I always instruct gruhasthas to put the responsibility on the head of
> their family bruhaspathy, let them discuss with authorities and let us
> convince.
> I feel this is my duty to convince the members of the vaideekam group.
> I already decided to distribute a message about it, at the same time I
> received the above indication from our Sriman Sadagopachar Swamin in right
> time. Also I like swamin's gentle approach (it may due to his vast
> experience in the field).
