In Sanatan Dharma, Pitru Paksha and the dates associated with it are considered to have special spiritual significance. Amavasya of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month is called ‘Sarvapitru Amavasya’, which will be celebrated on 10 October this year. This is the holy day when all the ancestors bid farewell to the earth and Tarpan, Shraddha and Pind Daan are performed simultaneously for them. People who do not remember the exact date of death of their ancestors, perform their Shraddha on this day. According to religious beliefs, if some special plants are planted at home on this special day, then not only the blessings of the ancestors are received, but one can also get relief from the Pitra Dosh that has been going on for many generations.
Importance of Sarvapitri Amavasya and freedom from Pitra Dosh
According to Hindu astrology and Vastu Shastra, ‘Pitru Dosh’ is the reason for many obstacles and failures in life. It is believed that if the ancestors are angry or their soul is not satisfied, then the family members have to suffer its ill effects for many generations. On the day of Sarvapitri Amavasya, by performing charity, charity and worship as per rituals, the ancestors depart after being satisfied. Along with this, if some special and sacred trees and plants related to nature are planted in or around your house on this day, then the blessings of the ancestors always remain and happiness and peace reside in the house.
1. Shami plant: Symbol of Shani Dev and ancestral grace.
From the religious point of view, Shami plant is considered very sacred and miraculous, which is directly related to Shanidev, the god of justice. According to Vastu Shastra, Shami plant should always be planted on the right side of the main entrance of the house so that positive energy can circulate in the house. If you plant a Shami plant in your house on the auspicious day of Sarvapitri Amavasya, it not only reduces the bad effects of Saturn’s Sadesati or Dhaiya, but also calms the Pitra Dosha of the house with the immense grace of the ancestors.
2. Tulsi plant: Destruction of negative energy and path to salvation
Tulsi plant is the main basis of identity and worship of every household in Hindu religion. On the day of Sarvapitri Amavasya, even if a Tulsi plant is already present in the house, a new plant must be planted. By doing this one gets the blessings of Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi as well as the ancestors. After planting Tulsi on this day, water should be offered to it regularly and a ghee lamp should be lit near it in the evening. This solution removes all the problems in the house and opens the way for the progress of the family.
3. Ashoka plant: A sure shot way to get rid of the defects of eight generations.
Ashoka tree, as per its name, is considered to be the destroyer of grief. Its leaves are used to make Toran during auspicious functions and auspicious occasions. Very few people know that planting Ashoka plant outside the house provides relief from Pitra Dosh. If you plant this plant in the courtyard of your house or at any holy place on the day of Sarvapitri Amavasya, then it acts as a protective shield for many of your future generations. If there is shortage of space, it can also be installed in the premises of a temple.
