Hariom Swamiji,Your discourse on Bhagavatham is excellent.I am from Guruvayoor, but now we have no house there.Iam into listening into bhagavatham right from my childhood. I am now 51.I have not heard such a excellent discourse which is simple and lucid.the other day you said when somebody expires he sheds his body and his atma is still live. very very true . But my query is we do shraddha for our parents.when the atma is alive why do shraddha.That jiva could have been somebody elses father or mother in his/her last life.so that jiva takes a new body every time.so we get attached to the body.I am confused. can you please explain. Hope you understood what I am trying to say.I am trying to practise whatever you are saying. Just yesterday my neighbour expired. Iwas in tears. But your words that the atma has shed the body and it”s still alive gave me strength.I am now staying in Thane.My humble pranams.

Dear Lakshmiji,
According to our Shastras, only Grihastha should observe Shraddhakarmas; not by the Brhamacharis,Vanaprastha and Sanyasi. That means, as long as you feel you have relationship with the world, then you have to remember your forefathers and relatives. The moment you accept you have only one relationship, ie with God who is the soul of everyone, you need not observe any shradhas. So, first you have to decide to whom your mind belongs.
