What is Pitra Dosh

Pitra-Dosha is one of the bad Dosha in the Hindu Methodology and it is not easy to eliminate the bad affects of it. There are some instructions available in Hindu tradition in which people can find out the remedies of this problem. Pitra indicates those individuals, who died unnatural death and did not get salvation. As a result of this, young generation perform remedies for the pacification of Pitra Dosha. This Dosha is formed if youngsters do not perform any task for their ancestors. Also, they suffer from this Dosha if they do not offer water and food to their ancestors or do not involve their ancestors in the spiritual activities. These situations affect the ninth house in the birth chart of that person who is afflicted by Pitra Dosha.

Besides, persons can get rid of this Dosha by satisfying their ancestors with the help of Pinddaan and worship on the date of death of their manes in the Krishna Paksha of Ashwini month. Also, they can perform Shraadh which is also known as ‘Tarpan’ on the specific day. As per Hindu calendar, it is the best time for each and every individual to avoid the ‘Pitra-Dosha’ and to pay gratitude to their near and dear who is now no more in this world. It is a period of sixteen days in a year when People pay homage to their ‘Pitras’ (Ancestors).  And, if by chance, they forget to arrange some Puja at their home, then they automatically come under this Dosha and bound to face some major problems in their life. Due to Pitra-Dosha, individuals can get some problems in marriage as well as they can face some troubles among family members.

Above all, they should do some spiritual activities on Amavasya as it is the ideal day to begin some ‘Puja’ in home or office.
