As Sun moves to Virgo for altering and emending – with the travel of Moon from Aries to Virgo, marks the period of Pitra Paksh.
The cause for the occurrence of birth on this earth is due to the union of Serpent – The Rahu and Ketu – representing the Parental and Maternal side of the Pitra / Ancestors.
Our soul has taken multiple births and our Pitra are not just restricted to blood but souls from many lifetimes with whom our karam is still pending with desires of fulfillment.
The Moon on Anant Chaturdashi ends the rituals of Ganapati with Visarjan and on Poornima it brings in the energy of Pitra from the waters of Pisces.
To continue our Soul progress without any hindrance it is necessary to perform the rituals of Pitra Paksh and release the tangles of Shad Ripus – As one’s Soul is threaded with several pending karma from past to this life.
The Remedies include the medium of water and fire – The ritual of Fire includes performing the Til Havan by the recitation of Gayatri and the ritual of water by offering Tarpan.
1. Offering food to Brahmins the entire 15 days – as they are the medium to Pitra – Kheer / Sweets made out of Khas Khas.
2. Offer Clothes in Temple for Deity and Panditji.
3. Taking dip in river / sea and offering Tarpan.
4. Offer Green Fodder to Cows half of your body weight.
5. Look for the placement of Virgo – Pisces axis in the chart for pending karma and donate the significance of the planet placed.
6. Plant the Trees of nakshtra in which the Planets are placed in Mrityu Bhag in the chart.
7. Lighting of Til oil diya every night outside your house/balcony and under the Peepal tree.
8. Clearing of South West direction in the house and lighting incense sticks/dhoop and Til oil diya.
9. Offering Sweet Water mixed with milk, honey, jaggery to Banyan tree.
