Pitru Paksha 2024 Donation: Pitru Paksha is considered to be an important time to perform the shraddh of ancestors. This time has special importance in Hinduism and whoever takes measures to please the ancestors and donates during this time, gets freedom from the sins of the ancestors. The period of Pitru Paksha runs from the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month to the new moon day of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month.
During this period, tarpan and shraddha rituals are performed for the ancestors for 16 days. If you do any work for your ancestors during this period, then their blessings always remain on you. During this entire period, people perform tarpan, pinddaan and shraddha rituals to please and appease the souls of their ancestors. This year Pitru Paksha will start from September 17 and end on October 2 on the day of Sarvapitri Amavasya. The work done during this period brings blessings of the ancestors and brings happiness, peace and prosperity in the family. Although charity is considered special during this period, you are forbidden to donate certain items. Let us know about it in detail from Jyotishcharya Pandit Ramesh Bhojraj Dwivedi.
Do not donate iron items during Pitru Paksha
In astrology, iron is associated with the planet Saturn. It is believed that if you donate iron or anything made of it during the Patri party, it can have negative results. Donating iron during this period can cause Pitra Dosha in your house. This can cause illness and quarrels in your house.
Do not wear black clothes during Pitru Paksha
In many places, black color is considered a symbol of negative energy. It is believed that if you wear black clothes during Pitru Paksha, your ancestors may get angry and negative energy will also enter your house. Doing this can cause unrest in your family and can also create patriarchy. Even if you are donating clothes, it is advisable to stay away from black clothes. Instead, you should donate other light colored clothes.
Do not donate salt during Pitru Paksha
Donating salt during Pitru Paksha is also considered taboo. According to astrology, salt is considered a symbol of instability and sourness in relationships. If you donate salt during Pitru Paksha, it can cause many defects. Doing this can increase quarrels in your house and promote patriarchy. By donating salt to someone, you can also become indebted to that person. Instead, you can donate grains, fruits and other items. If you are donating any material to a Brahmin, then do not donate salt.
Donation of old clothes is not allowed during Pitru Paksha
If you make donations during Pitru Paksha, you should never donate your old or used clothes. Doing so can reduce the prosperity of your house and can cause Pitru Dosha in your house.
New clothes should be chosen for donation during Pitru Paksha. Whatever clothes you are donating should not be torn or old. It is believed that donating old clothes causes Pitra Dosha, while donating new clothes brings blessings of the ancestors.
Do not donate mustard oil during Pitru Paksha
Donating mustard oil during Pitru Paksha is considered inauspicious. Donating oil spreads negativity in the house. Moreover, it can cause tension and discord among family members.
Mustard oil is usually used in worship, so it is advisable not to donate it especially during Pitru Paksha. This can cause an imbalance of evil and negative energy in your house.
Do not donate non-vegetarian food during Pitru Paksha
Donation of tamasic or non-vegetarian food is strictly prohibited during Pitru Paksha. Not only this, you are also advised not to eat such food during this time. In Hinduism, this time is considered a time of purity and simplicity and donating tamasic food can anger the ancestors. Donating such food increases the chances of illness and other troubles in the family.
