Pitru Dosh Nivaran: Remedies for Ancestral Disturbances
In Sanatan Dharma, it is believed that our ancestors (Pitru) have a profound impact on our lives. If they are not properly honored, it may result in Pitru Dosh, which can manifest as health challenges, financial troubles, or personal and professional hurdles.
Ways to Alleviate Pitru Dosh
Performing Rituals – Conducting prayers, food offerings, and water oblations for ancestors, especially during Pitru Paksha, is believed to bring peace to their souls and attract their blessings.
Acts of Charity (Daan) – Helping the underprivileged, feeding Brahmins, or engaging in charitable acts in the name of one’s ancestors is thought to reduce karmic imbalances and ensure their contentment.
Observing Fasts (Vrat) – Fasting on important days like Amavasya (new moon day) is a spiritual practice to show reverence to ancestors and seek their protection.
Pilgrimages to Holy Sites – Visiting sacred places is considered beneficial for liberating ancestral souls and removing doshas.
Reciting Mantras and Prayers – Chanting specific Pitru mantras and offering daily prayers is a way to invoke their blessings and resolve ancestral afflictions.
The appropriate remedies for Pitru Dosh vary based on individual beliefs and family traditions. For expert guidance and the performance of Pitru Shanti rituals, Aum Iskrti offers assistance in Karm-Kand pujas to help appease ancestral spirits and bring harmony.
