Sir, I have a few questions to ask. * My grandmother(dad's mother) had almost 10 natural abortions in her lifetime. * My dad's elder sister lived for just 8 years and died due to jaundice. * My dad's paternal uncle's wife died in a fire accident in train. Where the body was not handed over, because it was charred beyond recognition. * My dad's paternal uncle's 2 sons died unnatural deaths in their 20s. * My mom delivered a girl child (first child) which lived for just 6 hours and died due to asphyxiation. For all the above except my dad's elder sister(not sure), no shradha was performed till date. I think, we(me, my mom and sister) have lots of trouble(financial, delay in marriage for my sister, business loss for me) in life because of this. My question is, * Can I perform Shradha for all these departed souls in my family tree? My father passed away few years back and I am doing tharpan every year for him. * Is aborted foetus (even in late stages) considered as a soul? * How can one do Shradha for unknown/unnamed souls in the family tree? * If Shradha or any other similar puja done and I am unaware of that, will doing it again make it wrong? Will that be treated as duplicating it? * I had a dream few days back where all these souls(partially) cry and want my attention. This dream occured at around 4.30 - 5.00 clock in the morning. Does this have any significance? * All the astrologers I have met so far have not said anything about pitru dosh in my horoscope. How to clarify this? Kindly help me out please. thanks. AM
