We can eat them. It is a sort of prasāda for us. If you miss out an amāvāsya, you can't compensate this by performing tarpaṇa on any other day. If you are not able to perform ritualistically, you can mentally pay your respects to the ancestors.

Ravi Sir, One more question. The instance DEATH is an experience. The Atma or the soul comes out of the body. Now it will not have any aadhaara to quench its thirst or hunger. The mind still exists still giving the pain. Nower days the priest who will guide the last rites will say you can start all the karyas from fifth day or seventh day or on the ninth day, People now will act according to their convenience stating that the will start from the ninth day, so from the third day till eigth day the atma without body should under go all sorts of hunger and thirst. is this correct? As per Garuda Purana, they say that each day when the do the pinda pradhanam one organ is formed for the departed soul. Finally on the 12th day it will have a delicate body of one's palm size. Please let me know your opinion about this.

Ravi Sir, To whom should we give this roasted sesame seed balls mixed with jaggery.One more question sir, If start doing pithru tharpanam on Amavasya days, we should continue to them on all amavasyas. But if we miss any one of the amavasya will that be a problem or is there any alternative day we can complete this tarpanam.

Amāvāsya tarpaṇa is meant for the following: If father is not alive, for father, father's father (if not alive) and great grandfather. Similarly, for mother (if not alive), father's mother (if not alive)and father's mother. In the same manner it is done for mother's lineage - mother's father, mother's grandfather and her great grandfather. Mother's mother, mother's grandmother and mother's great grandmother. Apart from this tarpaṇa is also given to our unknown ancestors. Beyond this, no other tarpaṇa is given. Uncles, cousins, etc are covered under unknown ancestors. Amāvāsya tarpaṇa can be done at home. There is no issue at all. I have read somewhere that ancestors are fond of smell while roasting sesame seeds. It would be ideal to make small balls of fried black sesame seeds mixed with jaggery.

Ravi Sir, While doing Amavasya tharpanam, should we give the tharpanam to the departed Father and Mother or can we give tharpanam to our other kith and kin like uncle aunt cousin or any other close relative who has left this world. Is there any issue if do this in our house?
