Our bond with our ancestors continues even after their departure from their mortal coil. They are dependent upon us for their welfare in their onward journey. By performing the recommended rituals towards our ancestors with gratitude we facilitate them as they go through the transition of accepting new bodies and identities. Our offerings also support them with the much needed resources in their journey.Performing these rituals assists them and also helps us repay our debts to our departed ancestors. I have created this course with great care and attention after learning from my teachers and from the vedic scriptures: Garuda Purana, Markandeya Purana, Ramayana, Mahabharat, Srimad Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad Gita.
