Today is Sarva Pitru Amavasya. Pitru Paksha ends with Sarva Pitru Amavasya. Those who have missed performing Shradh for ancestors on their tithi, or who do not remember the date of death of ancestors, can perform Shradh for all their ancestors on the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya. It is also known as Visarjan Amavasya. Apart from this, 3 auspicious yogas are also being made today, due to which the results of the sacrifices, charity and charity done during this period will be manifold.
Sarvarthasiddhi Yoga is being made
There is Hasta Nakshatra on Sarva Pitru Amavasya. Along with this, Sarvarthasiddhi Yoga will also remain. On this day Sun, Moon, Mars and Mercury will remain in the same zodiac. In such a situation, Sun and Mercury together form Budhaditya Yoga and Moon and Mars together form Mahalakshmi Yoga. This auspicious position of the planets is very auspicious for doing charity. On this day, take a bath by mixing Gangajal or any other holy river water with bathing water. After this, donate the ancestors by offering them. This will also remove Pitradosh and happiness will come in life with the blessings of ancestors.
On the day of Sarva Pitru Amavasya, both the Sun and the Moon will remain in Hasta Nakshatra from sunrise to 4.34 pm. This creates very auspicious Gajachaya Yoga. Earlier this very auspicious yoga was formed in the year 2010. Doing any work in Gajachaya Yoga increases its importance even more. It is said that by performing Shradh or any other remedy for ancestors during Gajachaya Yoga, the ancestors are satisfied for 12 years. After 6th October, this Gajachaya Yoga will be formed after 8 years i.e. in the year 2029.
The ancestors will be very happy by taking these measures.
Apart from performing Shradh for ancestors on the new moon day, donating kheer made in desi ghee gives great happiness to the ancestors. During this, food should be given to the poor and needy and clothes etc. should be donated according to the capacity. This gives satisfaction to the ancestors and they go to bless their descendants.
Light a mustard oil lamp
It is said that on the day of Pitru Amavasya, ancestors return to Pitru Lok. In such a situation, mustard oil lamp should be kept in the south direction in the evening. If possible, keep 16 lamps. If you cannot keep 16, then light a brass lamp in such a way that it keeps burning throughout the night. It is said that by doing this one gets the blessings of ancestors and the effect of Pitra Dosh gets eliminated to a great extent.
Read Gajendra Moksha
On the evening of Pitru Paksha Amavasya, sit facing south and light a lamp. After this recite Gajendra Moksha. After the completion of the text, remember Lord Vishnu and pray to him to remove the displeasure of the ancestors and get rid of any kind of Pitru Dosh. Also, chant this mantra ‘Shri Sarva Pitru Dosh Nivaranay Kalasam Ho Sukh Shanti Dehi Fatah Swaha’.
