Dear all,

can we use "tharbai" instead of "samith" for doing samidadhanam, one sastrigal was advicing to use "tharbai" instead of "samith" since "tharbai" will burn easily than "samith" as per sastra is it a correct as per rule?

reason being : preparing agni is easy for tharbai (one or two camphor is enough) than samith.

can anybody explain

samith must be used. occaasionaly if samith is not available you may use dharbai one or two.

 

[sangom]

'samith' itself means the naturally dried twigs of the peepul tree. Samidaadhaanam means tending the sacred fire with Samith. Using darbhai is against saastras.

I am no expert..but won't it be logical to use Samith after all its Samidadhanam? Why should we use anything else when the name itself is self explanatory.

Dear TBS Garu,

Why wow?

The name itself is self explanatory.

Samidh technically means wood according to the dictionary...its does not specify which type of wood but it mainly denotes wood used for sacrificial fires.....AdhAnam means placing.

So which wood to place?

Well the recommended is usually the peepul tree wood from what I have read.

Let us understand that these 2 words are different & items are different & the uses are specified & we do follow these in our religious activities. Vadhyars would always rise up to the occasions & would & are resolving to the satisfaction of Kartha day in & day out. Suddenly one posing a Q may not be necessary.

Dear Sir,

But what is wrong if someone poses a question?

I see no harm if one seeks clarification.

 

[srisimha]

You are absolutely right Mr. rishikesan, Vadhiyars always try to satisfy with what is available. one sastrigal told it is easy to do with tharbai since it will catch fire easily further , tharbai and samith both have the same effects. thats why i posted this question. so the sastrigal told do it with tharbai whihc is also available in plenty.

there is no versioh in dharmasastram to use dharbai instead od sam;ith.
the name itself is samithadhaqnam then it is not correct using dharbai
instead of samith in this place. but I know dharbaui is used inNavagraha homaqm
for kethu graha. there is is used as samit for that graham. the version of sastrigal is
his own for conveniece he may tell like this. I have also heard this versin from some
others also. In practice dharbai is used as subnstitute of samith by some vaitheekas.
so you cand ecide yourself according your satisfaction.
