Tarpana or Tarpanam ceremony is a sacred Vedic ritual, where the ancestors and divine entities are appeased by giving them food, drink, and special prayers. Tarpanam also refers to Argya, which means ‘offerings to Gods, Demi-Gods, and ancestors.’ It is often a concoction of substances like water, milk, sugar, saffron, cardamom, and camphor, which is a particular offering to the Gods. “Tilatarpanam” involves libations, offered to the departed ancestors. After leaving the earth, the departed souls reach the “Pitruloka” and live there for a specific period in their astral bodies. In this state, they only depend upon the offerings of their descendants made on earth for them. Performing the Tilatarpanam ritual can supply the ancestors with the essential nutrients they need to live in the Pitruloka.

This meant that people could easily find their Sun Signs if they knew their date of birth. The Sun is one of the most important elements in a person's horoscope, whether one follows Western or Vedic astrolo...
From ancient times, observing the heavens has been a favorite preoccupation of humanity. Astrology is probably the most ancient system of cosmic wisdom that connects all life, creation, man, and the universe. Astronomy and astrology are closely linked; one could call them twin sisters. Astronomy is the structure from which astrology evolved. Astrology studies how celestial objects like stars and planets influence human lives. The position of the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets at the time of a person's birth is believed to determine their personality, influence their love relationships and financial fortunes, etc. For most people, their notion of astrology is their "sun sign," which is one of the 12 constellations of the Zodiac. This is called sun-sign astrology, the astrology which is featured in newspapers. It is an elementary form because only the date of someone's birthday is required to create a sun-sign horoscope. Even astrologers say that this form of astr...
