About Us
Hindu Dharma Paripalana Association (HDPA) Incorporated was established in Sydney NSW to support post funeral ceremony needs of our community. This project was named as “Narayana Theertham” and was launched on 8th October 2020.
Post funeral ceremonies are to be followed as per Scriptures and guided by Shastras and Sampradaya (traditions). Many families are handicapped without proper resources or facilities in place to conduct such post funeral ceremonies.
- Post-cremation up to 13 days services.
- Monthly Ancestral Ceremony in the first year after death (Masika Sraddham)
- Ancestral ceremony (Annual Sraddham) done as a full ceremony with Homam (Parvana Vidhaanam involving Fire Oblations, Pinda-danam, Tarpanam, and feeding two Brahmanas (bhoktas), etc.)
- Ancestral ceremony (Annual Sraddham) done in a simpler form without Homam (Hiranya Roopam - Tarpanam (Libation), uncooked food items to be given, Pinda Danam also done in some family tradition) )
HDPA is currently renting a premise at 54 Veron Street, Wentworthville, NSW 2145 with a handful of community supporting for providing the Hindu services:
