Mahalaya Amavasya - A day of expressing gratitude to elders to receive their blessings
The act of offering various substances to our ancestors is called Tarpanam. The word Trup means to satisfy and tarpan has been formed from the root word Trup. It is therefore done to satisfy these souls to seek their blessings and keep them happy.
As we are indebted to our ancestors or pitrus, for our very biological inheritance, at some point of time in our lives we need to satiate them and show our gratitude. That’s what it’s all about and when we perform this ritual we are actually freeing them from bondage of this materialistic world.
If we don’t satisfy them we face tribulations and difficulties in life and if we do, we can be happy and victorious.
