  Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

  May you be blessed with full surrender at the Lotus

  Feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord

  Krishna, Who expands Himself all over the creation

  and is transcendental to material energy. He has

  cast away the effects of material energy by dint of 

  His spiritual potency  and He is always situated in

  eternal  bliss  and  transcendental  knowledge. I

  offer my respectful obeisances unto Him. According

  to the rules and regulations of fruitive activities,

  there is a need to offer periodical food and water

  to the forefathers of the family. The offering is

  performed by worship of Lord Vishnu, because

  eating the  remnants of  food  offered to Lord

  Vishnu can deliver one from all kinds of sinful

  actions.  Sometimes  the  forefathers  may  be

  suffering from various types of sinful reactions,

  and  sometimes  some  of them  cannot  even

  acquire a  gross  material  body and  forced to

  remain in subtle  bodies as ghosts. Thus,  when

  remnants of prasadam are offered to forefathers

  by the descendants, the forefathers are released

  from ghostly or other kinds of miserable life. Such

  help rendered to forefathers is a family tradition, 

  and those who are not in devotional service are

  required to perform  such rituals. One  who  is 

  engaged in devotional service to Lord Krishna is

  not required to perform such actions. Simply by

  performing devotional service, one can deliver

  hundreds and thousands of forefathers from all

  kinds of misery. With love and best wishes, take

  care, bye.

  Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

  May you be blessed with the shelter of the God of Gods,

  the Source of Brahman, the Supreme Brahman, the actual

  Teacher of the science of Bhakti, the topmost of bestowers

  of all benedictions, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

  Lord Krishna, Who generates uncountable universes from

  His Body. Lord Krishna is eternally very beautiful, and He

  is worshipped by all the inhabitants of every planet. He is

  ever youthful and always eager to bestow His blessings

  upon His devotees. The glory of Lord Krishna is always

  worth singing, for His glories enhance the glories of His

  devotees. One should therefore meditate upon the

  Supreme Personality of Godhead and upon His devotees.

  One should meditate on the eternal Form of the Lord

  until the mind becomes fixed. The manifestation of pure

  devotional service is exhibited when one`s mind is at once

  attracted to hearing the transcendental name and qualities

  of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Who is residing in

  everyone`s heart. Just as the water of the Ganges flows

  naturally down towards the ocean, such devotional ecstasy,

  uninterrupted by any material condition, flows towards

  Lord Krishna. As the chariot of air carries an aroma from its

  source and immediately catches the sense of smell, similarly,

  one who constantly engages in devotional service, in

  Krishna consciousness, can catch the Supreme Soul, Who is

  equally present everywhere. Engagement in Krishna

  consciousness and application of devotional service unto

  Lord Krishna make it possible to advance in knowledge

  and detachment, as well as in self-realization. With love and

  best wishes, take care, bye.
