A.Sloka 115/81 of Garud Puran.
Great stress has been laid on the knowledge aspect in our ancient scriptures. But this knowledge can be acquired only through the path of truth and following Dharma. Many ways has been explained to tread the path of Dharma depending upon an individual. Thus Ashtang yoga, Karma Yoga, bhakti Yog, Laya yog, Tantra, Shaivism, Vaishanavism etc. came in to being. Though all the paths lead to only ONE goal or state.
“Divine knowledge alone is the beauty for an ugly, this knowledge is the secret wealth, it makes a person acquire good thoughts and make him dear to all, he becomes Guru of the Gurus. It eradicates the pains and discomforts of the near and dear ones. It is param devta(divine). It is respected even in the company of kings. Hence a person without it is nothing but an ANIMAL.”
B. from Brahm Puraan
“Devtabhayah Pitribhyasch, mahayogibhaya eiv ch,
Namah swahayai swadhayai, nityamev namo namah.”
Above mantra should be chanted before and after the shradh karm 3 times each. It is called Pitr Gayatri.

Though we have discussed a very small part here on the subject of Shradh which in itself is quite elaborate. One can refer to Brahm Puran and as well as Garud Puran for details though passing references can be seen in many of the 18 puranas.
D. Havan Agni calculations:
Generally we perform a havan at our home without thinking where fire element is located at that moment or day. It is said that fire element has to be on earth if we want to reap any benefit. Ancient Rishis have devised a mathematical formula for calculation of same which one is sharong here for the benefit of all.
(Tithi as per Indian calendar+ Day of the week+1)/4 = Remainder.
Take a Panchang and find the tithi on that particular day of month and add day of the week into it and also add ONE to it. What ever total is thus generated divide it with FOUR. Note the remainder left behind.
For example if Tithi = 4th, Day = Wednesday(Sun=1,Mon=2,Tue=3,Wed=4,Thurs=5, Fri=6, Sat=7), then calculation becomes
(4+4+1)/4= Divisible by 2 and remainder left is 1.
(4+4+1)/4= Divisible by 2 and remainder left is 1.
If the Remainder is ZERO or THREE, then Fire is on EARTH and good for Havan.
If Remainder =1, fire in SPACE or AKASH, it is worst and do not perform any havan at all.
If Remainder =2, fire in the PATAL or nether world, it is not at all beneficial, no havan should be performed.
E. Rahu Kaal
