Understanding Mahalaya Pitru Paksha Shradh
Mahalaya Pitru Paksha Shradh, also known as Pitru Paksha, is a 16-day period in the Hindu lunar calendar that is dedicated to paying homage to one’s ancestors. It typically falls in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (September-October) during the waning moon phase.
The Significance of Mahalaya Pitru Paksha Shradh: Mahalaya Pitru Paksha Shradh is a 16-day period dedicated to performing rituals for the departed souls of our ancestors. It typically falls in September-October and holds immense importance in Hinduism. During this time, it is believed that the souls of the departed ancestors come closer to Earth, and performing Shradh rituals helps pacify their souls and bestow blessings upon the living.
Customs and Rituals
Pitru Paksha is marked by various customs and rituals:
- Tarpan: The most common ritual involves offering water and sesame seeds (til) to ancestors while reciting their names. This is known as Tarpan.
- Pind Daan: Pind Daan involves offering rice balls to the departed souls. It is believed to help the spirits move closer to liberation.
- Feeding Brahmins: Feeding Brahmins and the needy is considered an auspicious practice during Pitru Paksha, as it is believed to bring blessings from the ancestors.
- Avoiding New Ventures: It is customary to refrain from starting new ventures or buying new property during this period as it is considered inauspicious.
