Default Observing 10 days mourning !
Dear all

I just joined this beutiful forum. Always I have wondered about some of the customs and tradition that we have been following. I wanted to know whether we should observe 10 days of mourning period ( we call here in kerala tamizh as 'pelai' ) for the death of distant relatives - cousins - termed as dhaayadhis. Recently one of the distant cousin (the exact relation goes as my the departed soul is my great grandfather's cousin brother son) passed away. I have to start living in a new house for which already grahapravesam and all other things are done. but some of the pundits here are telling I can start staying only after 10 days of the mourning period. Is it necessary. I don't even know this relative who passed away. I do expect a valid advise with reasons as I believe some of the rituals and tradition should be modified according to the current time period. Also I have lot of questions on other practises as well which I will post in different entries. thanks again for creating a wonderful space to share our views.
