Dear BhAgavathAs, As many of you may know, Solar eclipse will be seen in India on the coming Aug 11 (next Wednesday). Also AmmavAsya happens to coincide with that day. However both the SriRanga VAkya PanchAngam and the Sri Nrisimha Priya magazine say that the AmmAvAsya tharpanam has to be done only on the following day (Thursday) due to the presence of solar eclipse on Wednesday. AdiyEn's question is that if we are not going to be seeing solar eclipse here in the USA, can we perform the AmmAvAsya tharpanam on Aug 11, Wednesday? AdiyEn Lakshmi Narasimhan
