News India Live, Digital Desk: In Hinduism and astrology, ‘Pitra Dosh’ is considered one of the most painful defects. It is believed that if our ancestors are angry with us, then despite having comforts and luxuries in life, mental peace and progress remain far away. Often people fail despite their hard work and are unable to understand the reason for it. According to astrologers, the conjunction of Sun and Rahu or Saturn in the horoscope creates Pitra Dosh. If there are unnecessary obstacles in your family, then it is essential to identify and resolve its symptoms in time.
How to recognize that there is Pitra Dosh in your house?
Due to Pitra Dosh, certain types of problems persist in life. If this is happening to you too, then be alert:
Obstacles to child happiness: Not having a child even after many years of marriage or the child’s health being poor is a big sign of Pitra Dosh.
Unreasonable civil strife: There are daily fights at home without any solid reason and lack of love between family members.
Financial crisis and deficit: Not accumulating wealth despite hard work, sudden huge loss in business or increasing debt.
Delay in marriage: There are frequent obstacles in the marriage of eligible young men and women of the house or good relationships get broken.
Growth of Peepal tree: If Peepal plant starts growing naturally again and again in the walls or corners of the house, then it is considered to be an indicator of the displeasure of the ancestors.
5 surefire ways to remove Pitra Dosh
Some simple but very effective remedies have been mentioned in the scriptures to please the ancestors and remove the defects:
Regular Tarpan and Shraddha: On the day of Amavasya, it is best to perform tarpan for the ancestors and serve satvik food to Brahmins. If possible, get ‘Narayan Bali’ puja done in Gaya (Bihar) or Trimbakeshwar.
Peepal worship: Offer water to the Peepal tree every day or especially on Saturdays and light a mustard oil lamp in the evening. Peepal tree is considered to be the abode of ancestors.
South direction lamp: The south direction of the house is considered to be that of ancestors. Light a lamp every evening facing south, this pleases the ancestors and gives them blessings.
Service of animals and birds: Offering food to cow, dog and crow is essential for the peace of Pitra Dosh. Especially on Amavasya, the ancestors are satisfied by feeding kheer or roti to crows.
Text of Gajendra Moksha: By regularly reciting Gajendra Moksha or the seventh chapter of Bhagwat Geeta at home, ancestors get salvation and troubles coming to the family are averted.
Importance and caution of donation
There should be full faith in the mind while donating for the removal of Pitra Dosh. Donating white clothes, rice, milk or silver on Amavasya is auspicious. Astrologers believe that Pitra Dosh is not just a punishment, but it is a reminder of the unfulfilled wishes of ancestors or our duties towards them. When we respect our ancestors, they open all the doors of our life and happiness and prosperity reside in the house.
