Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 ll HARE RAM ll Dear friends, Pitra Paksha has started now.There are some rituals to follow during this period but i am trying to explain some general things in short that we should do or avoid in this Paksha. According to Braham Purana Yamaraja the king of Pitra Loka released all the Pitras from his Loka in Aashwin Krishna Paksha for 16 days to get food from their family members called Shradh (Means the food that were given with due Shraddha as the mark of respect by their family members). If Pitras do not get the same they come back to Pitra Loka being hungry & giving curse to them.Therefore the coming generations have to face tremendous difficulties in their life again and again by this curse that is called Pitra dosha in astrology.So it is must to do for us.The person who does Shradh with devotion, gets all the comforts,fame and wealth etc in the life by the blessings of our Pitras.It was written a lot about the same in our texts Yama-Smariti, Atharva Veda,Vishnu Purana,Braham Purana, Markandeya Purana,Mahabharat etc. [1] One should offer water putting black sesame and barley in it to Lord Sun facing south in noon time chanting " OM PITRABHYO SWADHA NAMAH " during all the 16 days. [2] One should not shave in the morning but can do in the evening. [3] To wash cloths are phohibited in the morning time. [4] One should throw or spread some black sesame on the floors of the house during these days because Pitras get the extreme satisfaction to eat and see it. [5] One should give rotis to Cow,Crow and Dog daily.We should not talk to the Brahmin at the time when he is taking meal of Shradh and should put the TILAK of Ganga Jal or by simple water only in its absence on his forehead after taking meal. [6] If some one comes to your door for begging,must give some food to him. [7] Pulse of Lentil (Masoor),Pea (Matar) and Rajmaa are strictly prohibited in Shraddh feed. So we should follow the same as much as we can for getting the blessings of our Pitras.
