[Advaita-l] shrAddha for the departed soul

[Bhaskar YR]

praNAms Sri ChandramouLi prabhuji
Hare Krishna

Yes, I have received two scanned pages from your good self.  Read already.   Lot of thanks for these scanned pages.  Yes, it is indeed addressed my / lady doubt with regard to punarjanma and pitru-s getting their offerings even after taking birth.  Quite reasonable explanation for those who have faith in the shAstra vidhi.  Is this chapter continued further??  If yes, kindly let me know.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
bhaskar

Namaste.

Daivattin Kural has been translated to english and published as Hindu Dharma. There is a 2-page article entitled " Sesame and water ; Where do they go? ". I presume this answers the query by Bhaskar Ji. I have separately sent by PM scanned copy of the article to him. He may confirm if that is what he was looking for. If anyone else is interested, I can send them by PM the scanned copy.

Regards
