Shradh 2025: Shraddha is called Shraddha, the liberation done with reverence for his fathers. The action of satisfying them is called Tarpan. Tarpan is the pindadan. Shraddha remains for a total of 16 days from the full moon of Bhadrapada to the Amavasya of Ashwin Krishna.
For these 16 days, our ancestors sit in our home in subtle form. Pitra Paksha will start from 7 September in the year 2025 and will end on 21 September 2025.
Know the importance of Shraddha from Jyotishacharya Neetika Sharma
Jyotishacharya and tarot card reader Neetika Sharma, director of Sri Lakshminarayan Astro Solutions Ajmer, said that Shraddha is performed in Pitru Paksha as per the date of death. If the date of a dead person is not known, then in such a situation Shraddha is performed on Amavasya Tithi.
On this day, Sarvapritri Shraddha Yoga is considered. According to religious beliefs, the ancestors attain salvation by doing the related work during the ancestral side. In this side, if the work related to the ancestors is done by law, then the blessings of the ancestors are obtained.
During the Shraddha, after reading the great chapter of Srimad Bhagwat Gita, you should recite the entire chapter and then recite the entire chapter. The fruit of this lesson is dedicated to the soul.
Do this work to remove obstacles in Shraddha
Jyotishacharya and tarot card reader Neetika Sharma said that the gods are also satisfied with the ancestors with Shraddhakarma. Shraddha-tarpan is our respect for our ancestors. With this, the debt of the father is also repaid. Wear Ashtamukhi Rudraksha in 16 days of Shraddha. These days, keep 16 or 21 peacock feathers in the house or offer mixed milk on the Shivling.
Make kheer daily at home. First remove the grass separately for cow, dog and crow from the meal. It is believed that all these organisms are very close to Yama. Stay away from addictions in Shraddha Paksha and perform Shraddha with purity. Auspicious work in Shraddha Paksha is also considered taboo and its time is considered suitable in the afternoon.
It is not considered good at night. The use of gram flour in Shraddha’s food is prohibited. Iron or steel characters should not be used in Shraddha Karma. When Pitridosh calms down, the obstacles related to health, family and money also go away.
You can do Shraddha on 96 occasions in a year
Jyotishacharya Neetika Sharma said that according to the scriptures, there are 96 opportunities in the year to perform Shraddha Karma of Pitrogan. Shraddha can also be performed on 12 Amavasya Tithi in 12 months of the year. By performing Shraddha Karma, an ancestors of three generations can be offered.
Shraddha is for three generations. Shraddha performs son, grandson, nephew or nephew. In those who do not have male members in the house, women can also perform Shraddha. All dates in Pitru Paksha have different importance. The person who dies on the date on the date on the same date is performed.
On which date should you do Shraddha?
Pitra Paksha begins with full moon date. On Pratipada date, if someone has died in the family of Nana-Nani and if the death date is not known, then Shraddha is performed on Pratipada. If an unmarried person has died on Panchami Tithi, then his Shraddha should be done on this date.
If a woman has died and the death date is not known, then her Shraddha is performed on Navami Tithi.
Shraddha of dead ascetics is performed on Ekadashi. Those who have died in an accident, they should be done on the date of Chaturdashi. Shraddha should be performed for all the ancestors known and unknown on all the omnipotent salvation Amavasya. Shraddha is performed on Chaturdashi Tithi of those who have died prematurely.
God worships by performing Shraddhakarma on this date
Paying the debt of ancestors is not possible in a life, it is a tradition to repay their debt by doing shraddh even after they have left the world. In this, the deity who performs Shraddhakarma on Shashthi Tithi is also worshiped by the deity.
It is believed that if the ancestors get angry then the person’s life is not happy and he has to face many problems. Not only this, disturbance spreads in the house and there is a loss in business and household. In such a situation, it is considered necessary to satisfy the ancestors and to perform Shraddha in the ancestral side for the peace of their soul.
Through Shraddha, food is delivered for the fulfillment of the ancestors and the bodies are donated and offered for peace of their soul. Whatever we take a pledge to give from Shraddha, everything is definitely received by those ancestors.
Ekadashi Shraddha Best Donation
Jyotishacharya Neetika Sharma said that if Shraddh is not performed, then the ancestors return to Pitrilok by curse the householder. The Shraddha of Ekadashi is the best donation. He gains knowledge of all the Vedas and all his sinfuls are destroyed and he attains constant opulence.
At the same time, the welfare of the nation and the attainment of abundant food have been said from Shraddha of Dwadashi Tithi. The Shraddha of Trayodashi brings child, intelligence, perception, freedom, excellent confirmation, longevity and opulence.
Importance of day
One who performs Shraddha etc. on the day of Poornamasi increases the intellect, confirmation, memory, perception, son-grandson and opulence. He suffers the full fruit of the festival. Pratipada is for wealth and wealth and the object of Shraddha is never destroyed.
One who performs Shraddha etc. on Saptami receives the virtuous fruits of great yagyas. The one who performs the shraddha to Ashtami receives the whole richness. By performing Shraddha at Navami, he attains a woman who runs favorable according to opulence and mind. The reverence of Dashami Tithi attains Lakshmi of Brahmata.
This is how Shraddha
- Invite a Brahmin to perform Shraddha, make a banquet and also give Dakshina according to your ability.
- On the day of Shraddha, make food at your own strength or will.
- Make food according to the choice of the person you are doing, which will be appropriate.
- It is believed that by remembering the day of Shraddha, the ancestors come home and get satisfied by eating food of their choice.
- Do not use garlic-onion in food.
- There are five types of sacrifices (five degrees) in the scriptures: cow (cow) sacrifices, dogs (dog) sacrifices, kak (crow) sacrifices, Devadi Bali, Pipilika (ant) sacrifice.
Shraddha method
Jyotishacharya and tarot card reader Neetika Sharma said that according to mythological texts, there is also a method of performing Shraddha. If Shraddha Karma is not performed with the entire law, then it is believed that that Shraddha Karma is fruitless and the soul of the ancestors remains unquenchable. The scriptural belief is that Shraddha Karma (Pind Donation, Tarpan) should be performed only through a well -worthy scholar Brahmin. In Shraddha Karma, donations are given to Brahmins with full devotion, and if you can help a poor, needy, then you get a lot of merit. Along with this, a fraction of food should also be added for animals and birds like cows, dogs, crows etc.
Shraddha on the banks of the Ganges
Where Shraddha is being done is important. If possible, Shraddha Karma should be done on the banks of river Ganges. If this is not possible, it can also be done at home. On the day Shraddha is there, Brahmins should be banned. After eating, they should also satisfy them by giving Dakshina.
Shraddha Puja should be started in the afternoon. With the help of qualified Brahmins, do chanting and after worshiping it with water. After this, the part of cow, dogs, crows etc. should be separated from the bhog that is being offered. While putting food, remembering their fathers, they should request their mind to take shraddha.
Why these five creatures have been selected
In Pitrupaksha, our ancestral animals come close to us through birds and consume Pitra diet through cow, dog, crow and ant. At the time of Shraddha, a part of the diet is also extracted for the ancestors, only then Shraddha Karma is complete.
While performing Shraddha, five parts of food offering to the fathers are extracted for cows, dogs, ant, crows and gods. Dog is a symbol of water element, ants of fire element, crow of air element, cow of earth element and deity sky element.
In this way, by giving food to these five, we express gratitude to the five elements .. Only five elements are found simultaneously in the cow. Therefore, the service of the cow is special in the ancestral side.
It is also important to take care of some things
Jyotishacharya and tarot card reader Neetika Sharma said that the fathers should do special work during Shraddh to be happy, during this time it is also necessary to take care of some things.
1. In order to perform Shraddha, it has been told in the scriptures like Brahmavaivarta Purana that the family of the late ancestors either the eldest son or junior son and if there is no son, then the grandson, nephew, nephew or disciple are eligible to give Tilanjali and Pindadan.
2. For the ancestors, all the actions are done by putting janeu in the right shoulder around the throat and facing south.
3. There are also many ancestors whose sons are not children or those who are inferior. Respectfully to such fathers, if his brother’s nephew, nephew or male member of the family of Tau keeps a fast in Pitrupaksha and donates pindadan, grain and clothes and performs shraddha with Brahmins, then the soul of the ancestors gets salvation.
4. On the day of Shraddha, only garlic, onion -free satvic food should be made in the kitchen of the house. In which urad dal, big, rice, milk, ghee dish, kheer, seasonal vegetables like lorai, gourd, sitfal, lady’s raw banana vegetable are valid in food. Potatoes, radish, brinjal, Arabic and vegetables produced under the ground do not climb the ancestors.
5. When the time of Shraddha always starts falling on the feet of the sun, that is, the scripture is ended only after noon. Shraddha performed before morning or 12 o’clock in the morning does not reach the ancestors. The person who expresses reverence and gratitude for the ancestors has to make some instruction.
This is the instrument. Keeping these emotions of gratitude stable for fathers reveals the greatness of our culture. According to Devasmriti, a person who desires to perform Shraddha gets the ultimate good fortune.
