Shradh (Pitru Paksha)
About Ancestral Blessings, Date, Rituals and Significance
According to the Vedic tradition in Hindu religion,
there
are many customs, fasts, and festivals. Under this, Shradh of ancestors is
also
performed. Shradh rituals can be performed on the Amavasya date of every
month,
but there is a rule to perform shradh rituals in the entire fortnight from
the
full moon day of Bhadrapada month to the new moon day of Ashwin month. This
festival of paying homage to our ancestors is called Shradh. According to
the
Hindu calendar, the period from the full moon of Bhadrapada month to the new
moon of Ashwin month is called Pitru Paksha.
The practice of Shradh
has
been going on since the Vedic period. The purpose of Shradh is to pay homage
to
our ancestors and pray for the satisfaction of their souls. It is said that
only
the water offered during Shradh i.e. Pitru Paksha brings peace and salvation
to
the souls of the ancestors.
Pitru paksh shradh significance
It is believed that a human being attains life after
leaving 84 lakh births. When a child is born then he is in the form of a
child
but when he participates in Shradh rituals then he is truly called a son. By
performing Shradh of ancestors with full devotion during Pitru Paksha, their
souls get peace and there is no effect of Pitra Dosh. During Pitru Paksha,
it is
believed that the deceased ancestors are present on earth for 16 days and
their
wishes are fulfilled by burning cow dung cakes while performing Shradh
rituals
on the date of their death.
Pitru Paksha is a 16 days’ period when
one
offers reverence to their ancestors in the form of Tarpan or Shradh Puja.
Pitruruna ceremony and rituals carried by surviving son or sons on the
'Shradh
Thithi' is known as Varshika Shradh. Carrying out Varshika Shradh in
'Teertha
Kshetras' (holy places) has been considered highly meritorious as mentioned
in
Puranas. Thus, in the Puranas, the types of Shradh along with their
importance
are also described and the Shradh ritual performed in Pitru Paksha paves the
way
for progress.
Why is Pitru Paksha important?
Pitru Paksha is considered very important for the ancestors and the ancestors' family members. The ancestors are happy after receiving Tarpan, Ardhya and Bhaag from their descendants and shower their blessings. Due to the happiness of ancestors during Pitru Paksha, Pitra Dosh also gets removed and troubles go away
Pitru Paksha 2024: Know Who Can Perform Shradh
Mainly only the son has the right to perform the Shradh of the father. If there is more than one son, all the Shradh rituals should be performed by the eldest son. If there is no son then the wife should perform Shradh and in the absence of a wife, the elder brother or grandson, great-grandson, daughter-in-law, nephew are entitled to do it.
Rituals performed on Shradh
For Pitru Paksha ritual, wake up and take bath before
sunrise on Shradh date with reverence for the peace of ancestors. Wear clean
clothes and take a pledge to perform Shradh and donate for the satisfaction
of
ancestors. Basically, remain hungry on the day of Shradh and prepare satvik
food
with full devotion. Keep Gogras, Panch Gras etc. aside and serve food in a
plate
in front of the photo of the deceased family member. With folded hands, pray
to
them to come and take food with pity. Pray for blessings for your children
to be
rich, prosperous and healthy. After this, satisfy the Brahmin by feeding him
food to his heart's content and giving him donations as per his devotion and
seek his blessings. After having the meal, feed the Gogras kept to the cow
and
the Panchagras to the crows, dogs, insects etc. After this the family
members
also have food.
This is the reason that every year during Pitru Paksha, people perform
Shradh,
Tarpan etc. for their ancestors with full devotion and faith. According to
mythological belief, during Pitru Paksha, if someone performs Shradh for his
ancestors on the date related to them, then his ancestors become happy and
shower their full blessings on him.
