Extracts From Nannilam Sastrigal,Sankara Mutt

Following is the Extract From the Speeches in Sankara TV By Nannilam Sastrigal of Sri Sankara Mutt

1. The PithruLoka Aanmaas have more than 80% water whereas our human body has equal share of water,air,space,agni, and earth.Because of this only all Pithrulokhas need huge water for their livings and hence in all Tharpans we have to pour heavy water.
2. Even if we do annadaanams etc on the thithi days /tharpanam days WE HAVE TO DO THARPANAMS AND THAT TOO WITH POURING WATER IN LARGE AMOUNTS WITH GINGELLY. Only This will give satisfaction to the Pithrus. Nothing Else.
3. On Annual Thithi days The Pithrus came to the Kartha's Place and wait for Their share of water and food.
Srartham - all says - mean only sraththai - to do the thing with devotion,sincerity and a fear. Pithrus dont want luxurious way of doing the Srarthams. If the Karthas do it in a fitting way, the Pithrus will be happy in many ways including that the Pithrus Wards are happy etc.,
Missing Srartham and doing in other ways have no Vedic Effect as per Manu Smurthi. Srartham shall be done with Homam as per Sastras. If not possible , atleast hiranyam with Brahmana Bojanam or atleast Hiranyam with Rice/Plantain Daanam to a Brahmin. Or If No Possibility due to unavaoidable circumstances, must do tharpanams and feed a deserving available that day. 
4. The following are told by Priyavaals on various occasions as told by Nannilam Sastrigal :
    If  one has a dependent parents , he can do anything prohibited by smirthis , to protect the parents for the
        welfare of  the dependants.
    In The Same way when there are Dependent Children,Wife etc to be taken care by him , he can do all for     the welfare of  the Dependants.
5. The Significant matter is doing noble deeds,daanams etc will not be equal to Srarthams or  Pthru Karmas       we have to perform priodically. Doing Pithru Karmas is our duty.
