Pitru Paksh
Pitru Paksh is considered as an important time in the Hindu calendar. The period is dedicated to pray to those relatives who have left for their heavenly abode and is considered as an inauspicious time to start something new.
Making our Pitru angry
It is said that if we don't do a proper Shraadh of our deceased relatives, then that can invite their anger. They can curse us in many forms leading to misery and poverty in the family.
When is Pitru Paksh?
The Pitru Paksh falls in the Ashwin Mass under the Krishna Paksh. Many people go to holy places such as Haridwar and Varanasi to conduct Shraadh for their deceased relatives.
A period of mourning
This period is mostly considered to be one of mourning --- it is said that feeding the poor and doing charity really pleases the soul of the deceased during this period.
Remembering the dead
It is said that everyday during the entire Shraadh period, a person must get up early in the morning and pray to their deceased relative and ask for their blessings.
Unity of family
The idea of the Shraadh puja is to get the entire family together to remember those who have passed for their heavenly abode. It is said that all members of the family should participate in the shraadh puja.
Pitru dosha
However, for those who have Pitru Dosha in their kundali, this period will manifest itself through a lot of problems. Read on to know more.
Childless
If a couple has been trying to have a child for many years and are still unsuccessful in doing so, then they might have Pitru Dosha in their kundali.
Losing money
If you do not have any money in the house or if money does not stay in your house, then it could be because of an impending Pitru Dosha.
Family disputes
Every family has its own share of disputes --- however, if the disputes are getting uglier everyday, then it could be a sign of having Pitru Dosha in your kundali.
Poverty
Losing money is another thing, however if you find that you are unable to meet your daily expenses of life as well (such as food and water), then this could be a sign of Pitru Dosha.
Court cases
Has someone in your family been wrongly accused in a false case and you have been running around courts for years? This could mean that your Pitrus are not very happy with you.
Unmarried daughter
If you have a daughter of marriageable age and yet you can't seem to get her married due to some problem or the other, then it means that it could be because of Pitru Dosha.
Chronic health issues
If you or someone else in your family has been battling chronic health issues for a really long while, then this could mean that your Pitrus are not happy with you.
Things falling apart
If nothing seems to be going good in your life and you have been facing problems after problems then this means that your pitru is not happy with you.
Back stabbing
If you have been back stabbed more than once by someone who is very close to you, then it means that your Pitrus are angry at you.
Accidents
If there have been many accidents happening in your house and people are getting injured, then it could be a sign of Pitru Paksh Dosha in your kundali.
Hurdles
If there have been too many hurdles in your life, especially when you think of starting something new and nothing seems to work, then it could be a sign of Pitru Dosha.
Why do we do Pitru Paksh?
Not only for the deceased, Shraadh is also done to awaken the good inside us. When we give to someone, that thing automatically comes back to us in some way or the other.
Giving back to our deceased
It is said that feeding the poor is akin to feeding God, so when we give food and clothes to someone in need, we please those who have left for their heavenly abode.
