Can brothers jointly perform Shraddha according to the Shastras?

Pt. Shri. Vedavyasacharya

Shrardh

Answer from Shastra

The Garuda Purana clearly explains:

👉 When brothers are living separately (divided families),
they should not perform Shraddha together.

What should be done?

Each brother must perform Shraddha separately

If one brother is in one city, he should perform it there

Another brother in a different place should also perform it individually

Even if they are:

In the same town

Or at the same Math or place

👉 Still, they must perform separate Shraddhas, not jointly

What should NOT be done?

One brother performing Shraddha while others just touch or join symbolically

Thinking that one person doing it is enough for all

❌ This is not correct and is not allowed by Shastra

Conclusion

👉 Divided brothers must do separate Shraddha
👉 Joint Shraddha is not allowed in such cases
👉 Each person has their own responsibility

In simple words:
If brothers are living separately, each one must perform Shraddha on their own. Doing it together is not correct as per Shastra.
