What is Pitru Dosh

It is mentioned in the Brahma Puran that, on the eve of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month the Lord of death “Yamraj” grant freedom to all the souls so that they can accept and eat the food made by their children on the occasion of Shradh. The peoples who don’t do the Shradh for their Pitras are the one who suffers from the curse of “Pitra Dosh” as their Pitras got angry and returns to their world. Due to this the upcoming generation has to face many problems. This is what we say is “Pitra Dosh”. In this world, a person’s death can be classified in two ways i.e. natural death and immature death. Natural death takes place due to the God but the immature death occurs mainly because of “Pitra Dosh”. We have seen the sudden deaths of Rajiv Gandhi, Harshad Mehta, Pramod Mahajan, Indra Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Subash Chandra Bose, Dayna which attracts our mind towards the “Pitra Dosh”.
PROBLEMS CAUSED BY “PITRA DOSH”

• A person who is suffering from Pitra Dosh has to face many problems related to his children. Other than that their children may suffer from physical or mental disabilities. Sometimes you may have seen that a child is suffering from different types of diseases from the very first day of his birth. This is because of “Pitra Dosh” only. • Pitra Dosh leads to an unfavorable environment in the house. A husband and wife may have issues on very small matters. All these matters are because of “Pitra Dosh” only. • People suffering from “Pitra Dosh” have to face problems regarding their marriage. Despite all their efforts, they are unable to get marry on time due to “Pitra Dosh”. • People suffering from” Pitra Dosh” regularly remains under the debts and are unable to clear their debt despite all their efforts. • Many times we see that a family is always surrounded by diseases due to which that family has to face physical as well as financial problems. • If there is no progress in the financial condition of a family and they are always surrounded by scarcity, then it is also due to the effects of “Pitra dosh”. In such situations, a person is not able to get success in any kind of work which he does. • If a family is suffering from “Pitra Dosh” then any member of the family may see a snake in his dream or he may see his ancestor demanding food or clothes

REMEDIES TO Getting RID OF “PITRA DOSH”
•  By completing the Shraad on the date on which our ancestors were expired.
• By giving water to the Banyan tree.
• By offering water to our Pitras for the 15 days during the Shraad or on the date of their death.
• One should offer food to Brahmins on every “Amavasya”.
• By donating food items on every “Amavasya” and “Poornima” in some temple or other religious places. These were the remedies by which a person suffering from “Pitra Dosh” can get rid of this Dosh. In the same way, if someone wants to get rid of Pitra dosh then he/she should do the Shraad with his full respect so as to get blessings of his/her Pitras.

Our Pitras accepts the donation, food, and water if it is done when Sun is in Kanya sakranti in Ashwin Krishna Paksha. In the 15 days of the Shraad, the Pitras are very sure about their children and that’s why they come to their door and expects the donation from them. Pitra Dosh is having an important place in Indian numerology. If a family is facing many unexpected problems regularly or any couple is not having their own child or newborn babies are not healthy or they are born physically or mentally challenged, then the main reason for all this is that person is having “Pitra Dosh” in his horoscope. So if that person respectfully completes the Shraad of his Pitras then they got happy and gave him their blessing
