Sarva Pitru Amavasya 2024: A Day to Soothe Your Ancestors' Souls

Sarva Pitru Amavasya, a significant Hindu festival, is dedicated to honoring and appeasing one's ancestors. It is believed that on this day, the souls of ancestors descend to Earth to receive offerings from their descendants. This year, Sarva Pitru Amavasya falls on October 11, 2024.

Significance of Sarva Pitru Amavasya

Repaying Ancestral Debt: Hindus believe that it is essential to repay the debt owed to ancestors, as they are considered to be the foundation of the family lineage. Sarva Pitru Amavasya and shradh provides a special opportunity to do so.

Seeking Blessings: It is believed that appeasing ancestors on this day can bring blessings, prosperity, and protection to the family.

Avoiding Pitru Dosha: Neglecting ancestral rituals can lead to Pitru Dosha, a negative karmic influence that can cause difficulties in life. Sarva Pitru Amavasya is a way to avoid or rectify this dosha.

Rituals and Offerings

On Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Hindus perform various rituals to honor their ancestors, including:

Pind Daan: This is the most important ritual, involving offering cooked rice balls (pind) to the ancestors.

Tarpan: Water is offered to the ancestors, invoking their blessings.

**Shraddha: A prayer ceremony performed to invoke the blessings of ancestors.

Feeding the Brahmins: Brahmins are considered intermediaries between humans and gods, and feeding them is considered a way to please ancestors.

Importance of Location

The location where Sarva Pitru Amavasya rituals are performed is also significant. It is traditionally believed that the rituals should be performed on the banks of a holy river, such as the Ganges. However, if this is not possible, they can be performed in a nearby water body or even at home.

Tips for Observing Sarva Pitru Amavasya

Consult a Pandit: Seek guidance from a knowledgeable Brahmin priest to ensure that the rituals are performed correctly.

Offerings: Prepare offerings that your ancestors would have enjoyed in their lifetime.

Purity: Maintain purity throughout the rituals by taking a bath, wearing clean clothes, and avoiding non-vegetarian food.

Devotion: Approach the rituals with devotion and sincerity to reap the maximum benefits.

By observing Sarva Pitru Amavasya with reverence and sincerity, Hindus can honor their ancestors, seek their blessings, and ensure the well-being of their family lineage.

May this Sarva Pitru Amavasya bring peace and blessings to your ancestors' souls.

Govardhan Pooja ... नमस्कार 🙏

and the festivities continue .. as do all the rituals .. and among all this Australia declares the month of October as a heritage month of Hindu festivities .. grace and divine blessings ..

But the intimacy of soft celebrations and the adherence to the control of many environmental obligations is revered .. as another year of the year of Lights ends , to another day of light ..

The intrigue of religious festivities .. their time and date and occasion still brings a wonder to many .. indeed to a great many .. and the readings of our Ef Sudhir and his dedicated research on the subject does evoke curiosity .. and awareness ...

The Calendar

There are two lunar calendars in the Jyotish Shastra… One is Purnaant and the other is Amaant…

There's a gap of 15 days between the two, although the order of the months are the same…

For instance, Deepavali's Lakshmi puja is on Purnaant Kartik Amavasya… while the same day is Amaant Ashwin Amavasya in some states…

So, the festival has a different reason in each region, and one common reason at the national level…

Like, the South, where the Lakshmi puja night of diwali is to recall the victory of Krishna over Narakaasur… In the North, it's for the return of Shri Ram to Ayodhya…

The concept of a civilisation made of many cultures dates back to the Treta Yug…

Diwali is celebrated for different days in different places… One day, three days, five days and eleven days… depending on the local history…

Yes… the different calendars, different cultures, but the same festivals, and the same civilisation…

You know, what… I think it's always an advantage when we do something that has no precedence… when there is nothing to refer…

This organisation of a nation is first envisaged in the chronicles of the satyug… each kingdom was called a country… group of countries was a region… the collective of regions was called a nation…

In Hindi - देश, प्रदेश तथा राष्ट्र…

What calendar do I follow?

I follow Rishi Varāhamihira's Brihat Samhita… In that, there is no need of dividing time into months and years…

The movements of cosmic objects don't need a calendar to have months and years… Only days are enough… Just count the days from a no-moon or a new-moon… the patterns are measurable and predictable…

Like,

The diwali always happens on the same no-moon night… regardless of which month in which state…

Thus, all the differences are dissolved in the universal medium… 🙂

About the light…

Darkness is not displaced by light… darkness is eliminated by light…

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।

Easiest way to do it is: Use one lamp to light the next… A series of lamps… Hence, Deepavali… Deep + Aavali - strings of light…

एक ब्रह्म है… एक सत्य है… एक ही है परमात्मा… प्राणों से प्राण मिलाते चलो.

my obsessed gratitude ..

my love and regard ...

Ayodhya is all set to complete its Ram temple after a rigorous battle that has lasted close to five centuries. The edifice stands tall as a testimony to the belief and determination of millions of people. The conflict over the site began decades ago, in the 16th century, and included a range of hostilities, civil strife, and even cultural wars. Having accepted the verdict of the Supreme Court to build the temple on the land where the mosque has been knocked down, the people of Ayodhya are getting ready for a Diwali 2024 celebration more special than others, with the temple being an everlasting sign of devotion and togetherness. 

Story Of Diwali

Diwali, or Deepavali, is a festival rooted deep in Indian culture and mythology and celebrated in various ways in different regions of India. Some such associated stories with Diwali are:

Lord Rama’s Return to Ayodhya 

The oldest and most celebrated Diwali story is also taken from The Ramayana, which focuses on the exploits of Lord Sri Ram, who came back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. 

After defeating the king of demons, Ravana in Lankapuri and returning with Sita, Lord Rama returned back home to Ayodhya and his return was celebrated by all the people of Ayodhya who decorated the city with many oil lamps (the diyas) to pay respect to the king who was more than a hundred miles away. 

Lighting lamps represent the hope for the victory of good over evil and reinstating the joy and bounty.

Worship of Goddess Lakshmi

Among all myths associated with the festival of lights, this is an oft-cited myth about Diwali. 

The day Goddess Lakshmi the goddess of wealth and prosperity appeared, after the churning of the great ocean, (Samudra Manthan), is also said to be the day of Diwali. 

An event of this nature means wealth and good luck is associated with it. 

On Diwali, people also worship Lakshmi which is the devotion offered to bring more worldly possessions, successful undertakings, and pleasant experiences into one’s household. 

So, this for many is the foremost reason for doing Lakshmi Puja on the night of Diwali.

Naraka Roar

In South India, the tradition of Narakasura is observed on Diwali. Narakasura was a demon king who haunted Heaven and Earth. 

Lord Krishna along with his wife Satyabhama went to fight Narakasura and free everyone from his reign of terror. 

The victory is that of goodness over evil which is celebrated by burning crackers and lighting candles.

Shradh (Pitru Paksha): A Time to Honor Our Ancestors

In the rich tapestry of Hindu traditions, Shradh or Pitru Paksha stands out as a solemn and significant period dedicated to paying homage to our ancestors. This ancient Vedic practice has been revered for centuries, embodying the deep-rooted belief that honoring our forefathers brings peace and prosperity to the living.

Understanding Shradh and Its Vedic Roots

Shradh rituals are performed to honor the souls of departed ancestors, praying for their peace and salvation. According to Vedic tradition, while Shradh can be performed on the Amavasya (new moon) of every month, the most significant time is during Pitru Paksha — a 16-day period from the full moon day of Bhadrapada month to the new moon day of Ashwin month. This sacred time is believed to be when ancestors descend to Earth to receive offerings from their descendants.

The Significance of Pitru Paksha

Pitru Paksha is more than just a ritualistic practice; it is a deeply spiritual observance that connects the present generation with their forefathers. It is believed that the soul traverses through 84 lakh yonis (life forms) before attaining human life. The performance of Shradh is seen as the highest duty a son can fulfill, ensuring peace for the ancestors’ souls and the removal of Pitra Dosh, which can cause obstacles in life.

During Pitru Paksha, it is customary to perform Tarpan (offering of water) and Shradh rituals, often at sacred sites, to appease the departed souls. The performance of these rituals not only brings satisfaction to the ancestors but also invokes their blessings for the well-being of the family.

Rituals of Shradh

The rituals of Shradh are carried out with utmost devotion and respect:

Morning Rituals: Begin the day with a bath before sunrise and wear clean clothes. A pledge is made to perform the Shradh and donate for the ancestors’ satisfaction.

Preparation of Satvik Food: Prepare simple, satvik (pure) food, keeping portions aside for Gaugrass (food for cows) and Panch Gras (offering for crows, dogs, insects, etc.).

Offering Food: Place the food in front of the deceased family member’s photo, praying for their blessings.

Feeding a Brahmin: A Brahmin is fed to his heart’s content, followed by donations, which are believed to bring blessings from the ancestors.

Feeding Animals: The food kept aside is then fed to cows, crows, and other creatures, symbolizing the completion of the ritual.

Pitru Paksha 2024: Key Dates

Pitru Paksha in 2024 will begin on September 17 and conclude on October 2. During these days, each specific Tithi (lunar day) holds significance for performing Shradh for ancestors who passed away on that day.

Services Offered by Shree Krishnayan Gauraksha

Shree Krishnayan Gauraksha offers a range of sacred services to help you fulfill your duty towards your departed loved ones during Pitru Paksha:

Tirth Shradh & Tarpan: Perform Shradh and Tarpan on the banks of the holy Ganga, elevating the souls of the deceased to higher realms.

Yagya & Pooja for Pitra: If a family member’s death was over a year ago, a detailed Yagya and Pooja can be performed to ensure their peace and happiness.

Godaan: The highest form of donation, Godaan, helps eliminate sins and obstacles while ensuring the deceased soul ascends to heaven and the donor is relieved of Pitra Dosh.

Bhandara for 11 Saints/Brahmins: Conducting a Bhandara (feast) for saints or Vedic Brahmins brings peace and contentment to the departed soul.

Feed Gaugrass: Feeding Gaugrass — green grass, wheat bran, and jaggery — to our desi cows is a significant act. It is believed that whatever is fed to Gaumata (the holy cow) reaches the ancestors, bringing them happiness and satisfaction.

A Sacred Invitation

Shree Krishnayan Gauraksha extends a heartfelt invitation to all who wish to honor their ancestors during Pitru Paksha. By performing these rituals, you not only pay homage to your forebears but also invite their blessings for a life filled with peace, prosperity, and divine grace. Our institution, home to over 22,000 desi cows, provides a sacred environment where these rituals are conducted with the highest respect for tradition.

Booking your puja service is simple through our website, and we offer online video-conferencing facilities for those unable to visit in person.

Conclusion

Pitru Paksha is a time of deep reflection and reverence. By engaging in the rituals of Shradh, you connect with your ancestors, bringing peace to their souls and blessings to your life. Shree Krishnayan Gauraksha is honored to assist you in fulfilling this sacred duty, ensuring that your ancestors are remembered and revered with the utmost devotion.
