In many parts of the world, there's a special time set aside to remember and honor our ancestors—the ones who came before us and paved the way for our existence. In India, this happens during the Pitr Paksha, or 'Ancestor Fortnight', a time when the veil between our world and the ancestral realm is believed to be at its thinnest, and our ability to contact them and influence them in a benevolent way the greatest. In 2023, this will happen between September 29 and October 14.

This is not a good time to start anything new in your life. Instead, this is a time to appreciate the old, a humbling reminder of the cyclical nature of life, and of the deep-rooted connections that tie generations together, transcending the barriers of time and space. The act of remembering our ancestors during this fortnight should not be limited to a mere ritualistic observance but should rather be a heartfelt communion. Engaging in a simple practice like tarpana allows us to acknowledge the sacrifices and challenges of our forebears as we request them to continue forward on their own paths of evolving further.

If you don’t know tarpana, you can worship in your own way, by lighting a candle, offering food, or simply setting aside a moment of silent reflection to link your awareness with that of your past. In doing so, we honor their memory and also nourish our souls by attempting to relieve them of some of their own residual cravings. As we connect with our departed ones, including both those who were our blood relations and those who became family during our lives, we're reminded that we, too, are a part of an enduring legacy—a story that will continue long after we've played our part.

Ever since Vimalananda first introduced me to tarpana nearly fifty years ago I have performed it annually during the Pitr Paksha. Probably the most dramatic of these observances transpired in 2010, when my dear friend and colleague Dr. Claudia Welch were teaching together in Prague and drove into Poland to pay a visit to Auschwitz. We performed tarpana together in the bed of the river into which the N***s had dumped the ashes of hundreds of thousands of murdered individuals. It was a very solemn occasion, so powerful that immediately afterwards we both fell sick. But even while we were feeling bodily misery, we felt good that we had been able to do our bit to relieve a tiny portion of the immense trauma of the area. In reality, we humans are all, ultimately, kin.

Om namah sivaya!

“I wrote a (hopefully entertaining) article about why I don't call myself a 'sound healer.' I hope you enjoy.
- Alan Steinborn

Why I am *not* a Sound Healer - Das Gongbad - The Gong Bath Sound healing. I see these words everywhere. I see bunches of people calling themselves ‘sound healers.’ I am *not* a sound healer. Please understand, I am not here to criticize. People call themselves whatever they call themselves. It’s ok. The short answer why I am not a sound healer? To me,...
