Pitra Dosh: The Consequences of Not Performing Tarpan for Ancestors
It is widely believed that if proper Tarpan and Shraddha rituals are not performed for ancestors, they may become displeased, leading to Pitra Dosh in the household. This can result in various challenges and obstacles in life. In this article, we will discuss the signs that indicate your ancestors are unhappy with you and how you can please them.
Signs of Pitra Dosh (Ancestors' Displeasure)
- Financial Losses & Business Failures
- If you are experiencing frequent losses in business or facing persistent financial difficulties, it could be a sign that your ancestors are angry.
- Frequent Quarrels at Home
- If there are constant arguments and conflicts in your family without any clear reason, it may be due to Pitra Dosh.
- Marital Issues & Childbirth Problems
- If there are unresolved conflicts between spouses or frequent misunderstandings, this could indicate ancestral dissatisfaction.
- Couples struggling with infertility may also be experiencing the effects of Pitra Dosh.
Ways to Appease Ancestors & Remove Pitra Dosh
✔ Regular Worship & Prayers
- The first step to eliminating Pitra Dosh is to perform daily prayers and rituals.
✔ Recite the Bhagavad Gita
- It is believed that reading the Bhagavad Gita daily brings peace and blessings from ancestors.
- If possible, read all 18 chapters. If not, at least recite the 7th chapter, which is related to Pitra Mukti (ancestral salvation).
✔ Tarpan & Shraddha Rituals
- During Pitra Paksha (16 days dedicated to ancestors), performing Tarpan and Shraddha rituals ensures peace for their souls.
- On the day of Shraddha, reading two chapters of the Bhagavad Gita is highly beneficial.
