Radhe radhe, hopefully, that answers your question Forgive me if i have made any mistake or confused you. The mere fact that the ramayana doesn't mention rama performing the ritual is subsequent years doesn't mean that he didn't do it In any case, there are plenty of vedic descriptions of the annual shraddha ritual, so it's definitely not of recent origin. This is last chapter in the karma If soul gets rebirth into another body how does pinda pradanam and shraddha rituals reach that soul
Our shastras say son should do shraddha ceremony till end of his life for his father and forefathers, so if father's soul has already taken rebirth how does these shraddha cermony and pinda pradanam reaches to that soul? Origin of shraddha ritual is not the same as pitru devatas's origin This question is mainly about practice and not the devatas or loka If you have problem accepting an answer, you may comment on it clarifying the same Writing answer is not the correct way I find many things written in some answers hard to accept.
In this answer it is stated that sons can offer pinda when father is alive Also, here in skanda purana it says that krishna offered pinda when vasudeva was with him But in practice, normally, chi. It is seen that while performing the last rites (antyeshti, pindadanam, etc) and shraddha tarpanam rituals for ancestors in accordance with the karma kanda, the manner in which rituals are done are different from those at the time of worship of gods If shraddha falls on ekadashi day, should it be done on same day or done on dwadashi What does puranas, smritis say about it
If done on ekadashi, how to feed brahmana while they are fasting 2 i have a curious question on shraddha ceremony we perform, during shraddha we invite brahmins for brahmana bhojanam as per ritual we invoke our pitrus (vasu, rudra and aditya) on body of brahmins and serve food for them and these pitru devatas are responsible for giving these food to our forfathers in whatever form they are.
