News India Live, Digital Desk: Vaishakh Purnima (Buddha Purnima) is considered very sacred from religious point of view. Bathing in holy rivers and donating on this day gives eternal results. But do you know that the date of Vaishakh Purnima is also best to please your ancestors? According to astrologers, if a person has Pitra Dosh in his horoscope, he has to face financial crisis, obstacles in having children and mental unrest. By doing these measures on the occasion of Vaishakh Purnima on May 1, 2026, the ancestors become happy and bless you with happiness and prosperity.
5 effective ways to get rid of Pitra Dosh:
Holy Bath and Tarpan: On the day of full moon, wake up early in the morning and take a bath in a holy river (like Ganga, Yamuna). After bathing, take black sesame seeds in your hand and do ‘Tarpan’ while meditating your ancestors and facing south. This brings peace to the souls of the ancestors.
Worship of Peepal tree: According to the scriptures, Lord Vishnu and the ancestors reside in the Peepal tree. On the day of Vaishakh Purnima, offer water to the Peepal tree in the afternoon and light a lamp of pure ghee. While circling 7 times, pray for freedom from Pitra Dosh.
Donation of white goods: Since Purnima is the day of the Moon, it is very auspicious to donate white items like milk, rice, sugar, white clothes or silver on this day. Provide food to a needy Brahmin and give him Dakshina as per your capacity.
Like Amavasya, do ‘Pind Daan’ on Purnima also: If you cannot go to Gaya or Prayagraj, then burn cow dung cakes at home and offer kheer and ghee on it with the mantra ‘Pitribhyo Namah’. This removes negative energy from the house.
Donation of earthen pot: The month of Vaishakh is extremely hot. Donating an earthen pot filled with water on this day provides coolness to the ancestors. This remedy is considered a panacea in reducing the effects of Pitra Dosh.
Pay special attention to these things on Purnima:
On this day, do not quarrel at home nor disrespect any elder.
Eat satvik food (avoid garlic, onion, meat and alcohol).
Chant the mantra ‘Om Pitribhya Namah’ 108 times.
