Reasons and Methods To Get Rid Of Pitra Dosh or Pitra Rin

Reasons and Methods To Get Rid Of Pitra Dosh or Pitra Rin

In the Indian season of Kwar (which falls between the Rainy season and the Winter season) the Sun resides in the Virgo sign. Shradh Paksha also known as Pitru Paksh falls in this period. During the Shardh Paksh, people perform puja and rituals to get rid of Pitru Dosh (bad karma vis-a-vis our ancestors) and Pitru Rin (karmic debt which has been passed on to us by our ancestors). Souls of our ancestors, who are in the Chandra Lok (Lunar Realm) accept the food offered by their offsprings and are appeased. If the souls of our ancestors are content, they will bless their children. However, if Shradh is not observed, souls of our ancestors will not be appeased, and they will be born into the world of ghosts and evil spirits.

Shradh is observed so we can free ourselves of our ancestors’ Pitru Dosh and Pitru Rin. It is believed that people should pay off the Pitru Rin. Pitru Rin may be of several types like Matru (mother’s), bhratra (brother’s), dev, Brahma. But nowadays these debts are collectively referred to as Pitru Rin.

If one dishonours his/her father, father’s brother or other elder members of the family or doesn’t take care of them during their ill-health, it causes Pitru Dosh.

Similarly, if one insults his/her mother, mother’s sister, sister-in-law, mother-in-law and ousts them from home when they get widowed, he/she will invite Pitru Dosh.

If one doesn’t observe Shradh for the departed souls, he/she is bound to incur Pitru Dosh.
