Does forgetting family deities bring problems in life? Yes, according to Sanatan Dharma and spiritual psychology, the family deity or deity is the root source of energy of your lineage.

When a family is cut off from its roots, their ‘spiritual protective shield’ becomes weak, leading to problems like health, career and domestic troubles without any reason. The solution lies only in reviving our clan traditions and returning to our roots with reverence.

In today’s modern era, we have become so busy with the tall buildings and corporate culture of the metros that we have forgotten the powers that protected our ancestors for centuries.

Like millions of youth living in Bengaluru, the city known as ‘Silicon Valley’ of India, Aditya was also completely cut off from his roots. But life taught him a lesson which changed his entire thinking. This story is not just of one person, but of every Indian who has left behind his cultural heritage.

Bangalore’s glitz and darkness suddenly begins

Aditya (name changed) was working as a solution architect in a well-known IT company in Bangalore. Monthly package worth lakhs, own luxurious 3BHK flat on Sarjapur Road and a happy family. Life was going on a straight line for Aditya. But with the beginning of 2023, a turmoil started in his life which had no logical basis.

It started with small things. First, Aditya’s wife’s health started deteriorating, for which medical science had no concrete answer. Then disputes started happening in the office without any reason. Technical mistakes started happening in the work that Aditya used to do in a jiffy.

Financial crisis and mental unrest took such a toll on the house that Aditya became completely broken. He took help from Vaastu Shastri to psychologists, but the situation kept getting worse. He could not understand why despite everything being right, ‘everything was going wrong’.

The one question that shook

One evening, Aditya met an old family friend who was deeply knowledgeable about religion and spirituality. When Aditya shared his problems during our conversation, the friend asked a very simple but serious question – ‘Aditya, when was the last time you paid obeisance in the temple of your Kuldevi? Do you even know who is the god who protects your clan?’

Aditya was speechless. All he remembered was that in his childhood his father would sometimes mention a ‘mother’, but after his father’s death 25 years ago and in the hustle and bustle of studies and career, all that was left behind.

The friend said in a serious tone, ‘Aditya, just as a mobile does not work without a network, similarly a Hindu family does not remain safe without the ‘protective shield’ of its family deity. When we forget them, the energy of our lineage begins to wane and negative influences overwhelm us.’

Searching for the Totem: A Challenging but Sacred Journey

Aditya resolved to find his roots. But it was not that easy. For years, contact with the village and relatives was lost. He began his search in a systematic manner, which can become a guide for today’s generation:

First Attempt 1: The Lineage Search
Aditya first reached his native village in Uttarakhand. There he came to know that the records of his family might be with the ‘Tirtha Priests’ of Haridwar.

First attempt 2: ‘Bahi-khata’ of Haridwar
When Aditya told the names of his ancestors at Kushavart Ghat in Haridwar, the priest there opened the centuries-old account books (Pothis). The names of their seven generations were recorded there and at the end it was written in golden letters, Kuldevi Maa Rajarajeshwari. Aditya had tears in his eyes, he had found the first clue to his identity.

First Attempt 3: Revival of Ancestral Place
With the help of the village elders, Aditya reached the place where once there used to be a small temple of his family deity. That place was covered with bushes and had become a ruin. Aditya realized his mistake that he had forgotten the power which had blessed his dynasty with prosperity.

Did the rituals and a miracle came to life
Aditya conducted a special puja of ‘Kul Dosh Shanti’ there under the supervision of learned Brahmins. He not only got the temple cleaned and repaired, but also made arrangements for regular puja there. After coming back to Bangalore, he installed the picture of Kuldevi in ​​the temple of his home and started lighting a lamp in her name every day.

Beginning of change: Aditya says, ‘The miracle did not happen overnight, but as soon as I resolved to connect with my roots, the restlessness in my mind started calming down. After a month of puja, the wife’s health improved, which the doctors had not been able to do in the last one year. The projects which had slipped out of my hands in the office, got back unexpectedly.

What to do if you don’t know your family deity?

• Communication with family elders: Often the oldest woman in the family (grandmother, grandmother or aunt) remembers the traditions of the family. Ask them about ‘Atak’ or ‘Gotra’.
• Gotra based online search: Today there are many digital databases where you can get information about your family deity through your Gotra (like Kashyap, Bhardwaj, etc.).
• Threshold lamp: If you don’t find anything, start lighting a ghee lamp in the name of ‘Kuldevta’ every evening at the main threshold of the house and pray in your mind that they show you the path.
• Refuge of village deity: Visit the ‘Village God’ of your native village. It is believed that the village deity becomes a medium in conveying your message to the family deity.

Balance of modernity and tradition

This story of Aditya teaches us that no matter which corner of the world we reach, we cannot achieve complete peace by remaining cut off from our ‘spiritual roots’. Kuldevi or family deities are not just religious symbols, but they are the guardians of our DNA and the subtle energy of our lineage. In today’s busy life, stop for once and think whether your problems are also the call of your roots?

Kuldevi-deevta in Hindu dharm: There are Kuldevi and deity of society or caste in India. Apart from this, Pitrudev is also there. In Manglik works like birth, marriage etc., they are worshiped by going to the place of Kuldevi or gods or praised in their name.

Apart from this, there is a day when people of the family concerned gather in place of their goddess and deity. People who do not know about their Kuldevi and deity or who have forgotten have been cut off from their branches and roots.

Kuldevata / Kuldevi has always been ranked in the Hindu family adorable system in India. Every Hindu family is a descendant of some sage. From which his gotra is revealed, later they were divided into the varnas.

Kuldevi of every caste and society

To perform various deeds, which later became their uniqueness and came to be called caste. Every caste class is a child of some sage and for the child born from those original sages, he is also a revered as sage or sage wife Kuldev / Kuldevi. Kuldevata is the best place in life. Kuldevi’s nearest relationship has been found in the subject of Economic Subta, Kutumbic Saukhya and Shanti and Arogya.

The seniors of our east of the former ie the ancestors’ family started to worship the total deity or Kuldevi for themselves, so that a spiritual and parlokik power kept protecting the clans so that their negative powers – energies and air obstacles kept protecting them and they continue to progress on their karma path.

Who are the total gods or deities?

Kuldevi – Gods are actually the gods and goddesses of clan or descendants. These houses are the first revered and original officer of the family or dynasty tradition. The position of these gods of most intimacy is important as the elderly members of the house. Therefore, all the worship and other works can be wasted without worshiping or giving their importance. Their effect is so important that if it becomes angry then no other deity can reduce or stop the side effects or loss.

Example – Understand this like this – If the head of the house, father – Mataji is angry with you, then no one from the neighborhood or outside can enter your house because they are “outsiders”. Especially the worldly people should worship the Kuldevi Devta daily like the favored deity.

Many such families are seen who do not know anything about their total deities. But Kuldevi – They do not withdraw only by forgetting the deity, they will still remain the same.

How to know about your Kuldevi-Devata

If you are not known, then take information about Kuldevata – Devi from your family or gotra’s elders, try to know that Jhadula – Mundan Sanskar is said according to your tradition, or called “caste”, or a final phera (5,6,6th) after marriage. Every gotra – There is differences according to religion. Generally, these karma are in front of Kuldevi / Kuldevata and this is their identity.

In time, many families have forgotten their family deities / goddess due to transfer of families to one other places, converting from conversion, displaced from fear of conversion, untimely dead of knowledgeable person, decay of rituals, not understanding the reason behind them, etc.

Among them, there are more families living in cities for generations, some self -proclaimed modern and scientific discovery in everything, even in the pride of their knowledge or in the pride of their present good condition, they left them or not paid attention to them.

Do not worship Kuldevi-Devata but what happens?

• After leaving the worship of the total deity / goddess, for a few years, no particular difference is understood, but after that when the security cycle is removed, accidents, negative energy, vyavya obstacles in the family begin to enter.
• The progress starts to stop, generations are unable to make expected progress, decay of rites, moral collapse, discord, disturbance, disturbance.
• The person tries to find the reason, the reason does not know quickly because the person’s planetary conditions do not mean much.
• Therefore, it is difficult to catch them with astrology etc., luck says something and something else happens with the person.

How do Kuldevata-Devi protect the family?

The total deity or goddess is our security cover that struggles with any external obstacle, the family of negative energy or before entering the person, they also consume it from time to time towards family rites and moral conduct, they also reach the oblivion to the worship given to any Ishta, if they are not getting the worship then they can be angry and can also be unhappy.

In such a situation, you do not reach that favored worship, because the bridge stops functioning, external obstructions, prisoners, etc., negative energy starts reaching the person without any obstacle, sometimes the worship of the favored by the person or the families starts taking any other external air power, that is, the worship does not go to the favored.

This happens due to the disinterest of the Kuldevata or being less powerful. The Kuldev tradition has also disappeared, the houses where there is often discord, the lineage is not moving forward, there is no disagreement, there is no economic progress, distorted children are happening or there is a famine, special attention should be paid to those families.

When is their worship?

Kuldevata or goddess is sensitive to family rites of a person concerned and can be angry with worship method, invertex, cardiovascular actions or worship, usually they are worshiped once a year or twice at a fixed time, it is a different time according to the family and there are different specific methods, marriage, marriage, childhood etc. are also given specific puja.

If all this stops, either they are angry or do not make any meaning become mute spectators and the family opens for the parlokik powers without any security cover, various kinds of problems start in the family, so every person and family should know their family or goddess and should provide them with worship, which keeps the family safety.

• Often Kuldevi, deity and favored gods and goddesses can be the same, their worship is also easy and beyond frills. For example, calling or remembering the names of gods by lighting regular lamps and incense sticks, doing special worship in specific days.
• If you make a dish etc. in the house, first offer them and then eat them.
• To invite them in every demanding work or auspicious work or to work by asking for orders etc.
• The most important thing of this total tradition is that even if you have changed your religion or have changed the favorable, Kuldevi gods will not change, because they are related to your dynasty family.

Should Kuldevi-Devata renounce on changing religion?

But along with changing religion or creed, if Kuldevi – deity is also abandoned, then you can face many sufferings in life like wealth, poverty, illness, accident, house discord, famine etc. Due to these worshipers, accidents have also been seen due to protection from disease etc.

I have also seen many such families who do not know anything about their total deities. One more thing is worth noting – after the marriage of a woman, only the in -laws’ Kuldevi / deity will be worshiped and not of the maiden. Similarly, if a child goes on his lap in another family, then the total gods of the adopted family will be worshiped.

Method of worshiping Kuldevi / Kuldevata:-

1. Whenever you worship Kuldevi in ​​the house, the most important thing is the material of worship. The content of worship should be as follows – 4 water coconut, red clothes, 10 betel nuts, 8 or 16 adornments, 10 leaves of betel leaves, ghee lamps, kunkum, turmeric, vermilion, molly, five types of sweets, puri, pudding, kheer, soaked chana, bada, camphor, camphor, janeu, panchmeva.
2. Keep in mind where there is a coconut with vermilion, there is only sindoor and the rest of the turmeric is not a kunkum. Where there is color coconut from Kumkum, there is not only a vermilion of Kumkum.
3. Do not offer vermilion to coconut, offer turmeric – roli, offer janeu here, while other places do not offer janeu.
4. Offer only five types of sweets in front of them. Also, offer the entire house -made pudding -kheer to them.
5. Keep in mind that after the end of the practice, distribute the prasad at home, do not give it to the outsider.

7. Generally, the virgin girls of the house are not included in the worship of Kuldevata / Kuldevi, so they should be kept separate from it.

On the special day and festival on the festival, by installing a picture of Kuldevi / Kuldevata on the easier of pure red cloth, by putting a lamp of ghee or oil, you should offer ghee or oil and offer it with ghee or oil and offer churma baati, incense sticks, coconut, satabani sweets, makhanas, perfumes, every flower etc.

* Rice Senak: Boil the rice and then mix ghee and sugar in it.

* Athwa: A sweet pua with two puri and semolina pudding on it, thus two pairs of 4 pudi in total; 2 sweet pues and little semolina pudding.

The result of not worshiping Kuldevi / Kuldevata

• Their worship has been going on since time immemorial, no auspicious work is done without their blessings. This is the god or goddess who always maintains a security circle to protect the family.
• Whatever religious work you do your worship, fast story, they bring them to your favorite. By their grace, the total dynasty progresses, but in today’s modern era, people do not know who is our Kuldev or Goddess. The result of which we are suffering today.
• Today we do not know why we are coming so much on all of us? There are many people who recite a lot of worship, are very religious, yet there is no peace and peace in their family.
• The son is unemployed, even after reading a lot, there is a fight between the father and son, the money that comes, it is not known in the house which path goes out. First son and daughter are not married, even if the marriage gets done in any way, there is no child. This is an indication that your Kuldev or Goddess is angry with you.
• The security cycle has been removed from you, due to which negative powers dominate you. Then no matter how much you worship, you will not get any benefit.
• But modern people do not believe these things. Closing the eyes does not cause night. Truth will remain true. What our elderly people have said are true, even if they have not studied in English school like you, but understanding was more in them. They will not be found in today’s children.
• You are requested to find out your Kuldev or Kuldevi and go to their shelter. Ask for apologies of his mistake and regular Kuldevata / Kuldevi is also worshiped.
