Pitra Dosha

When a person's departed forefathers / ancestors have not attained peace due to lack of religious rituals at the time of their death, a dosh develops into ones Horoscope which is known as "Pitra Dosha" as per ancient vedic texts.

Causes of Pitra Dosha :

• If the ancestors did not perform certain rituals (like Shraddh Karma for their Ancestors) or made unethical choices, their negative karma can pass down to the next generations.
• If the rituals for the deceased forefathers / ancestors were not performed correctly or adequately, it may lead to this dosha.
• Ancestors who did not fulfill their duties to family, community, or society can bring imbalances that affect their descendants.
• If an ancestor dies unnaturally or prematurely (due to accident, violence, etc.), it is believed to cause a disturbance in the family lineage.

There are several long lasting problems arise due to Pitra Dosha as per our ancient Vedic texts, a few of which are mentioned below :

• Problems in conceiving children, repeated miscarriages or the children at home are falling sick repeatedly. Also, only girl child may be conceived repeatedly due to Pitra Dosha.
• There may be regular / repeated problems of unknown origin at the house/ business leading to acute frustration.
• There is a lack of peace & harmony in the house / business premises and we feel negative vibes whenever we enter them.
• Lack of success or obstacles in professional life.
• The overall growth of a person appears to have been stalled inspite of his / her best efforts.
• Continuous financial setbacks or losses.
• Marital issues or difficulty in family harmony.
• Frequent or chronic illnesses in the family.
• Sudden accidents, untimely deaths, or unexpected disruptions in life.

Some common remedies to alleviate the negative effects of Pitra Dosha :

1. A Pitra Dosh Nivaran Puja can be beneficial
2. Performing the Shraddh Karma Puja for ancestors helps in offering food and prayers to the deceased. This can be done on their death anniversary (Tithi), Amavasya, or during Pitru Paksha.
3. It is believed to help fulfill the desires of ancestors and remove ancestral curses.
4. Donating to charitable causes, especially on specific days like Amavasya or during Pitru Paksha, is considered auspicious. Donations can include food, clothes, or money to the needy, temples, or institutions. Donating to causes that provide for the welfare of others helps in balancing the karmic debts from ancestors.
5. Reciting Vishnu Gayatri Mantra or Vishnu Mantra can be helpful
6. Observing a fast on Amavasya and during Pitru Paksha is an important tradition. During the fast, prayers and offerings are made to ancestors, helping to bring peace and remove obstacles caused by ancestral influence.
7. Worshipping Lord Vishnu is said to help in mitigating the negative effects of Pitra Dosha, as Lord Vishnu is believed to have the power to remove curses and negative ancestral energies.
8. Lighting diya (lamp) in the name of ancestors and offering flowers, fruits, and incense to these deities can be beneficial.
9. Avoid arguments, bad behavior, and harsh words. Negative emotions like anger and resentment are believed to worsen the ancestral karma. Cultivating good virtues, such as humility, patience, and love, can improve the family’s well-being and pacify ancestors.
10. Maintaining peace and unity within the family, as well as honoring family traditions, is essential in reducing the effects of Pitra Dosh. The well-being of the family, especially in terms of respecting and caring for the elderly and ancestors, is seen as a way to prevent ancestral issues from affecting future generations.
