Dear Users of this site.

Namaskarams.

In a recent past, I read a Tamil News Paper that those who died in Ekadasi, their shardhams (Thirhi) should not be conducted on Ekadasi and only to be performed in Dwadasi.

There are lot of educational, vedic and shastra qualified elders who can clear me about it. Because, my mother passed away in Ekadasi and we are doing her shardhams in Ekadasi only since 1992 and none of the Sastrigal were instructed us not to do.

Please help me out.

The grihya sutras do not make such an exception.It is I think a custom which has come into use as in Ekadasi dat people are supposed to fast

I feel above answer fits to logic. As people are supposed to fast, you may not get suitable person to partake the bhojanam.

In regardto Ekaadasi maranam, what I haave heard is :

Ekaadasi Maranam Dwaadasi Dhahanam " is to be very good for the departed soul.

There may be opinions against this. I do not have any interpretation.This is what I used to hear.

Respected Sharmaji,

Thank You very much for the details.

Hello Sirs....

In Dharma Sastram - Sraartha Gaandam - Chapter 34 describes the various methods of srartham.....

Whis describes as follows:
1) ஒவ்வொருவரும் அவரவர்கள் இறந்துபோன மாதத்தில், பக்ஷ்த்தில், திதியில், வருஷந்தோரும் ப்ரத்யாப்திகத்தைச் செய்யவேண்டியது.

2) ஒரு திதி இரண்டு நாட்களிலும் வ்யாபித்திருந்தால் அபராண்ஹவ்யாப்தியுள்ள தினத்தில் செய்யவேண்டியது,

3) இரண்டு தினங்களிலும் அபராண்ஹகாலம் வியாப்த்திருந்தால் அதிகமுள்ள தினத்திற் செய்யவேண்டியது.

4) ஒரு மாஸத்தில் இரண்டு திதிகள் வந்தால் பின் வரும் திதியில் ஸ்ரார்த்தம் செய்ய வேண்டியது, பிந்திய திதி ஸங்கரமணத்தால் துஷ்டமாயிருந்தால் முந்திய திதியில் செய்யவேண்டியது,

5) It has no quote specially on Ekadasi or Dwadasi...

Hope it clears.... to my knowledge.
