Today is my grandpas death anniversary. A small puja is held in the family called thevasam. I really really wonder what good comes out of it. If my grandpa were the body we associate him with , well the body is gone and no good is going to come of praying to it. If he is the atman, then he is always there , we are all in him and he in us , why pray and not feel .
Anyways the pandit performing the puja , I am sure supports the ritual cos its quite some money for him :)
cheers,

I would totally dis-agree... Not going into details for performing thevasam, it's a oppurtunity to remember and recall all the hardships that ur grandpa have gone through in bringing up ur family..
True people does not need any oppurtunity to remember and recall forefathers hardships. We always remember . There is no use in performing these rituals...instead you can do some good things in the day of thevasam.. atleast this will get you some punya
