Dear members, In speaking of rites associated with various stages of life, I remembered a detail called "parasthaanam". When my father left to work overseas (this was when I was still in high school) he had to perform "parasthaanam".. Could some of our learned members shed some light on the significance of this rite, and its circumstances ? Also, are there specific "praayachitta" rites prescribed for persons traveling overseas (such as us) ? Regards, Sundar
