One month with no meat

[ShaunSA]

Im still waiting for someone to explain why we do this.I asked my mother and she said cos the B.Gita says so,not a good enough answer lol

She is supposed to say because your grandparents did it

Anyways she was right. The BG does give the details on shraddha. In addition to the various Puranas.

OK I have nfi what laary is

I know sem. But no clue on a bigger version.

I see you really were not paying attention when your mum was speaking though

Laary is that green dhall they boil and peel and eat. They even put it in curries.
And I paid attention to some Tamil. I knew very well how to say "Yenike rhombo paashi" (sp)
Meaning, I'm very hungry

Was it really religious though. Most times the culture and religion are so intertwined it becomes difficult to separate.

If it was cultural then she was still right

Oh yeah I heard of that. But we don't get that in my small village. Can vaguely recall seeing it once when I was young though.

Most of the people who do it have no idea why. I just laugh at them while I'm chowing the nyamas.
