Holy grass & Tarpan

What is Tarpan grass?

Tarpan or Tarpana (Arghya) is a term used for rituals where we do offerings. It is a Vedic custom that signifies offerings made in respect, remembrance and honour of the divinity and other souls. The term Tarpan itself means a substance that can be offered during an offering ritual. The word Tarpan is derived from the word ‘trupt (satisfy)’ which denotes an act of pleasing/satisfying others. The ritual of Tarpana varies and the hand posture differs while making offerings to

• Tarpan to the Supreme deities (Gods and Goddesses),
• Tarpan to the Saints
• Tarpan to the Pitru (deceased/ departed ancestors)

The offerings that we do for deities and sages are known as Tarpan while the Vedic practice of making an offering to the departed ancestors is known as Tilatarpana. Today, people often use the term ‘Tarpan for their Pitru (deceased ancestors)

The grass used for the offering ritual of Tarpan is known as the Tarpan grass. The actual name of this grass is Kusha.

What are the uses of Tarpan?

As mentioned earlier Tarpan can be used to make offerings to the Gods, saints and ancestors but the way of the offering differs. Mentioned below are the various uses of Tarpan

• For Deity Tarpan, the offering is made by adjoining both the hands and stretching them in front and allowing the Tarpan to flow over eight fingers, it is known as Dev Tirtha
• For Rishi (saint) Tarpan, the offering is made by adjoining both the palms and the offering is dripped from between both the palms. It is known as Rishi Tirtha
• For the deceased or ancestors, the offering is made to drip or flow over the left hand. This is known as Pitra tirtha.
• The Darbha grass is used during religious ceremonies while performing the fire ritual
• The Darbha grass is used to sprinkle water from the Kalash in which the mantras are chanted as the grass is said to absorb all the positive frequencies

Importance & significance of Tarpan grass

The Tarpan grass or the tharpanam set plays a significant role in Hinduism.

• The Tharpanam grass is the ritual that offers freedom to our ancestors from any of their unfulfilled desires. The ritual of Tarpan is performed so that our deceased ancestors can continue their journey to the heavens peacefully without any desires that keep them holding back.
• The Tharpanam set helps to cleanse the air by absorbing all the negative energies in the air and thus helps to spread positive energies in a Vastu
• Helps to attract the divine frequencies of Lord Ganesh and blesses the worshipper and person performing Tarpan
• When we call out the names of specific deities during mantra chanting and Tarpan, we do it with a powerful will, requesting the Gods and Goddesses to protect us and to look after our welfare.
