I started putting  annual  amavasya  tharpana  sankalpam in the   year 2010-11, when I started  a Blog  on  “Rules and Rituals of Brahmins” in the same year It took about   3-4 years   for my blog to become popular. Later on man people   abroad    started   depending on my blog, because  it is the only   which indicated  at what time IST  the  Nakshtra and Thidhi    mentioned   in the Sankalpa changes.This helped people there  to  use proper thidhi    and Nakshatra, in whichever  place on earth they do Sankalpa.Since last year  I have started including  Mahlaya  Paksha   SAnkalpa manthras also (  THa Amavasya   THarpana Manthras (tharpana  manthras iyers  https://brahminrituals.blogspot.com/2013/08/tharpana-manthras-iyers.html , iyengars https://brahminrituals.blogspot.com/2013/08/thaprapana-manthras-iyengars.html , Mahalaya  Paksham  https://brahminrituals.blogspot.com/2018/08/mahalaya-paksha-tharpanam-introduction.html  Bodhayana  https://brahminrituals.blogspot.com/2011/12/bodhayana-darsa-tharpana-mantras.html  all in English had  also been given)

Classification of Dhurbha grass and its use in rituals

Classification of  Dhurbha  grass  and its use  in rituals

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Dhurbha (Desmotachya bipinnata) is a tropical grass considered a sacred material in Vedic scriptures and is said to purify the offerings during such rituals .Traditional tropical grass, Darbha, has been identified as an eco-friendly food preservative. Though  I have have been studying about different  Hindu rituals  , I was not aware  of the classification  of Dhurbha grass  and its suitability  for  various rituals. This was given in Tamil  by Sri Vasudevan  Srinivas. Thanks  to him.

As  a young lad , my elders informed  me that  Lord Brahma  used to arrange marriages  by two  Dhubha plants. I used to ask, which Dhurbha  is male   and which female  .After a long  time I have got the answer.)

1.Viswamithra  kusoseeraa   shali   monunjeecha    Dharbhaka,

Dhoorvaa   sreshtaa   muni  prokthaa   saptha  Dharbha  prakeerthitha.

The great   sages  have told    that  Dharbha  is of seven types ,

Viswamithra , Kusa, Ucheera  , Saalee. Mounjee   Dharbha   and Dhurvaa.

2.Agra sthoola   bhaven naari  , moola sthoolam  napoomsakaam,

Moolagra   samam   vaapi puman nithya abhidheeyathe

If  the tip is stout  it is feminine, if base  is stout it is eunuch,

And if tip and   base are   stout  it is  Male

3.Vivahe  purusha Dhurbhaa, Sthree Dharbhaa  Pumsavane Thadhaa,

Napumsakam  thwadhanya   karmasu   . yesha Dharbhasya  nirnaya

For marriages  male Dhurbha  is used, for Pumsavana female  Dhurbha is used,

And for all other  rituals   the eunuch  dharbha   can be used.

4.ARchanam  Japa Homam cha , dhanam   cha pithru  thrpanam,

Apavithranu  paanimcha thath sarvam cha  vInasyathi

Archana  , Japa  , homa , Dhana   and Pithru tharpana,

If done   without pavithram, then everything   would be destroyed

5.Pavithram     yeka dharbhena, pretha karmani  dharayeth,

Nithya karmani  dharbhaayaam  dhwabhyameva  chathurmukha

For rituals   involving Pretha(dead body)  only one dharbha is used,

And for all    daily     rituals     two  dharbhas with 4  tips are used

6.Pithru  karyam   thribhir  durbhai  , chathurbhir  deva  poojane,

Panchabhi   poshitike   Dharbhai  shadbhi  saanthyaam  pavithrakam

Bhojana valayam   kuryaatu , sapthabhi   sarva  karmasu.

In case of rituals  of pithrus  three dharbhas  are used  and 

For rituals involving   Devas  , four  dharbhas   are used,

In rituals  like yaga five are used and for doing parihara   six are used.

In case of meals   and all other rituals   seven have   to be used as knot.

7.Dwiyangulam valayam   brahmanukramathi rekhaam  kulaa  mathaa,

Chathurangulamaayaamaa  pancha    mushti  smruthaa  kusaa

For a two inches knot   five fist length  of Dharbha is needed

And its height   should   be   four  inches.

8.Viseernaa   vigalaa   hruswaa , vakraa   sthoolaa   krusaa   dwithaa,

Krumi  dashtaascha deergaascha varjayeth   samithoo  budha.

Those which are spilt  , broken, small  , curved  , thick , thin ,

Spread out , eaten by worms   and too long   are rejected by the wise.

9.Yethe   vitha vinasinaa , sthoolaa raja  bhayankari,

Dwidhaa   chaora  bhayankari viseernaa  sukha maahareth,

Agni daham   bhaved   deergham  krusaa  kanthaa   sukham hanyaathu.

All these  would destoy your wealth  , very thick would invite  Government punishment,

Split one would lead  to fear of theft,  that  which has splits  would reduce pleasure,

Very long one  would lead to fear of fire and very then would lead  to sickness.

10.Aswastha  vata , palasaa  , plaksha  ,

Dumbara   , sambhavaa  samyaparkka thiraa ,

Kuchena   samitho nava

Sacred  fig, Banyan , Palasaa  tree , holy fig, fig tree,

Vahnni tree  , chaff flower , Karumgali  and Dharbha ,

Provide  sacred  offerings to fire  and are called  Samith

In the year  2004  , I started putting  the upakarma  Manthras  for Yajur Vedis.In the first year  about 3000 people saw  itBecause of this I started putting avani avitta  Manthras for Yajur Vedis every year  .A few years back, the rig Vedis said that  their manthras  were entirely different   and I shoud pur  Rig Vedi manthras   also. Again the Bodhayana  SAkha of Yajur veda   wanted me to include the Brahma Yajna manthras for them along with Yajur Veda  Manthras. I did this also,Then a gentleman   from Bangalore  came all the way   to my home   along with A Sama Veda  Upakarma manthra  book.Though little difficult  I started  putting that  also

    The great sapeciality  of my posting is that along with the manthras  I also indicate  the time of change  of the Nakthra  and thithi.This made the manthra useful to  everyone   who was staying in various countries outside  India

   I am so happy to inform you  that  for almost  ten years , my manthras   are consulted by  more than 50000 people  every year, including 2019

  I am getting old and I would want tohandover this job to some one   who is younger  than me , so   that  for many more years  our Brahmins staying  in foreign countries   are benefitted.

Sama Veda Upakarma Prayoga for the year 2019 (2-9-2019)

Sama Veda Upakarma Prayoga for the year 2019    (2-9-2019)-Monday

                   (Compiled by P.R.Ramachander)

(The Gayathri japam is on   16-8-2019  for all the three  Vedas. The sankalpam for the Gayathri japam  is given in https://brahminrituals.blogspot.com/2019/07/gaayathri-japam-manthras-16-8-2019-for.html )

In the case of Sama Veda, The upa Karma prayogam is very extensive and differs very much from the Upakarma prayoga of Rig and Yajur Vedis.They always do it in Hastha Nakshtra of  the Kanya Masa. It essentially consists of ten steps in the following order

1.Panchagavya sammelanam

2.Snana Mahasankalpam

3.Brahmayagnam

4.Punyaham

5.Rishipooja(Uthsarjan Karma)

6.Deva,rishi, Pithru Tharpanam (264+12)

7.Ghata Poojai

8.Yagnopaveethadhaaranam

9.Vedarambam

10.Kankanadharanam

           Naturally these have to be done with the instruction of a Guru but in modern times when people are scattered all over the world and also because well learned Sama Vedi Purohithas are very scarce, many people are forced to do it in their home depending on some handouts. Since most of the above steps are lengthy and involve proper chanting of Sama Veda Mantras,they do only three steps of the above 10. They are

1.Snana maha Sankalpam,

2,Brahma Yagnam

3.Yagnopaveetha dharanam

   

         English is a very inadequate language to type out Sanskrit manthras. But I have made an effort to present the needed mantras for the above steps for the year 2019 because I feel that  our youngsters are more at home in English rather than in their mother toungue or Sanskrit. Since I am not a Sama Vedin I depend for the mantras on Book published by  C.Sankara TRama Sastri(1956) Sama Veda Upakrama prayoga published by Sri Balamanorama press, Madras. I have also got my typing read through and to certain extent edited by Sri.P.A.Anantharaman.I am grateful to him,

Maha Samkalpam

After bath (Nowadays people only take Sankalpa Snanam by sprinkling water)

take Pancha Gavyam chanting

Yathavagasthi gatham papam dehe thishtathi maamake,

Praasanam pancha gavyasya dahathwagni rivendanam.

Take bath again, wear dry cloths, put on caste marks, do regular daily duties and then do Brahma Yagna.

*Chathurthi    is up to  1.55   on 03-9-2019  afterwards  Panchami

Hastha Nakshatra is up to 8.33  am    on  2-9-2019  , afterwards CHithra Nakshatra. Change according to your local time after comparing it to IST. The Avani avittam for Sama Vedis   has to be  done in Hastha  Nakshatram.

Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with reference to time , one locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in Jambu Dweepa, Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is done to God to pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was done inspite of his great grace which made us be born as human beings after several wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during several ages in life is highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while earning money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not suit the caste we are born in, cutting of tree, spoiling a lake , trading of several banned commodities such as  salt , blanket, meat, root , fruit etc, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to have been done and so on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy pure water and then start the veda parayanas which is our duty as a Brahmin.
