I have been often asked how Sanatana Dharma spread throughout the world.
My answer is that in the early days , going back to about Million years Sanatana Dharma was the only way of Life throughout the known Landmass.
Please read my articles on Lemuria ,Tamils, Rig Veda composed in Arctic,Ramas Empire extended throughout the world,Dweepas. Chandragupta empire and more articles.
United Kingdom Mao
The earth was described as consisting of Seven Islands, Saptha Dweepas.
Seven ancient Islands of Earth.
They are,
Jambuu Dweepa,
Plaksha Dweepa,
Saalmalii Dweepa,
Kusa Dweepa,
Krouncha Dweepa,
Saaka Dweepa and
Pushkara Dweepa.
Now landmass had changed, new political Maps are in place.
And now many Indians live abroad and it is heartening to note that many still follow the karmas like Sandhyavandan,Tharpan,Sraddha and other religious practices ordained by the Sastras.
They have difficulty in reciting Sankalpam, right determination before any religious occasion.
I had written on Sankalpa in the US..
Now I am proving Sankalpa for UK.
Use appropriate Year,Season, Month, Thithi(waxing and waning of the Moon), Nakshatra(Star), the occasion for which the Sankalpa is made, y referring to Panchanga.

There are forty Samskaras to be performed by a Hindu.
Death is an important Samskara,
I will provide some guidelines with Links.
However, the suggestions of the Purohit is to be taken for consideration as some customs vary for each Caste and even in a Caste for a particular Family/Group.
General.
Those who become Untouchable during the period of Mourning-Theetu
The wearing of Thaali is a later custom developed and it does not find a place in Vedic Marriage,
The removal of Mangal Sutra may be done some one who is widowed already(preferably elder to the one in question) quietly on the morning of the Eleventh Day,;have the bangles removed and have the Mangal Sutra removed and dropped in a vessel containing milk.
One can perform all functions in the Family including Marriage after the Thirteenth Day, Subasweekara,Gruha Yajnam, except in the case of Spouse. Wife and children.
The Gruha Yajna means you are permitted to do Yajna.
But in Indian philosophy, ‘The wages of Sin is Birth’ for without Birth there is no Death and one has to experience the results of the actions performed by him and this is made possible by one being born.
Hence of the Forty Samskaras, Garbha Dhaanam-The Rite to Beget Good Children is the first Samskara.
This is normally performed on the day of the marriage before consummating it.
This is possibly a few of the Homas that are performed after Sunset.
While describing the procedure for Garbha Dhaana , the Satras make some interesting observations on Fertility Days,Time to have inter course,
All these observations are being proved by Science now.
Some Observations.
1.Women conceive in the first 16 Days from the day of last Menstruation Date.
2.If the inter course is on Even days from the Date of last Menstruation.the Child will be Male.If on Odd Days, it shall be Female.
3.Of these Sixteen Days on the following Days, no intercourse is recommended.
-Eighth,Eleventh,Twelfth, Fourteenth Day from the Day of new Moon /Full Moon.(Ashtami,Ejadasi,Dwadasi,Chaturdasi)
Birth Day based on The Star in which one is born is to be avoided.(Janma Nakshatram of Husband)
Also The Sankramana Days are not recommended.
As per hindu mythology, The sun orbits twelve zodiac sign in a period of 1year. So when our sun orbits from one zodiac to other zodiac it is known as Sankramanam.
