Radhika:
A widow might just be present ...Dear Smt. Radhika:<br /><br />A widow might just be present at the place where the shraddh is being done, and observe vratam on that day (like avoiding ritually impure foods, avoiding rice items at night and subsisting on fruits/ light food items at night), and praying for the peace of the deceased spouse.<br /><br />Your son can begin doing the shraddh as soon as he is old enough to chant mantras properly and he is given upanayana deeksha (Yajnopaveeth). Your in-laws can guide the child in the performance and you can be present at the place. Shraddh mantras should be heard by you preferably whenever feasible.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />Blessed be.<br />Pandit R DAKSHINAMOORTHI.Pandit R.
