Significant challenges come and go while we are growing up. This could be due to the lines in your hands or the nature of planets. Do the stars hold a few secrets you don’t know of? The troubles may be due to Pitra Dosh. This isn’t just about you; it’s about the karma of your people – your ancestors, passed down through generations.
So, how does Pitra Dosh work, and can it hold you back? Let’s break it down in simple terms.
What Exactly is Pitra Dosh?
Pitra Dosh should not be considered a curse but more of a burden from the past. It is the unresolved karma or problems of your ancestors. In Vedic astrology, it is believed that ancestors have unresolved issues on earth, so they do not get peace even after they have passed away. The spirits feel restless because they cannot resolve the issue and leave the planet. This possibly made them pass down the problems to their descendants.
It is possible that your ancestors did not complete their assigned duties. Since they are not at peace, the Pitra Dosh is following you like a nightmare. The unfinished business may fall onto the family, causing several difficulties for years to come.
Do I Have Pitra Dosh?
First, check your kundli or the birth chart to see if you have Pitra Dosh. An experienced astrologer can help you with this.
For instance, if the planets Sun, Rahu, or Saturn are in problematic positions or are linked with troublesome planets (those that bring negative influences), it can suggest the presence of Pitra Dosh.
Do I Have Pitra Dosh?
Though a professional astrologer is needed to confirm Pitra Dosh, you might notice some familiar signs occurring on a daily basis. These can include:
- Financial problems despite you putting your best foot forward.
- Recurring health issues
- Trouble in relationships
- Unable to achieve career goals
- Troubled marriage or inability to find a partner
In many cases, these challenges are linked to unresolved issues from the past, hinting that Pitra Dosh might be at play.
Why Does Pitra Dosh Happen?
Pitra Dosh arises when our ancestors’ souls do not find peace after death. There are many reasons why this might happen, including:
- Rituals Were Not Performed: The soul may not achieve peace because you did not do a proper death ritual.
- Bad Karma: Your ancestors may have done something wrong, like hurting someone or cheating somebody.
- Duties Not Fulfilled In The Past Life: Ancestors who passed away without fulfilling their duties towards their family, such as not raising their children properly or failing to fulfill their responsibility towards some close people, may feel the need to return to the planet.
The unfinished karma is weighing heavy on you. That’s why you need to do something to end the Pitra Dosh.
Will Pitra Dosha Affect You Negatively?
Yes. Pitra Dosh can cause a variety of issues in a person’s life. The most common areas where people experience difficulties include:
- Disputes Between Family Members: Unexplained tension or fights within the family could be linked to ancestral issues.
- Health Conditions: Chronic illnesses or hereditary diseases could be signs of Pitru dosh. You need to keep a close watch.
- Financial Troubles: Constant setbacks or losses, even after working hard, might indicate Pitra Dosh.
- Problems In Your Career: If Pitra Dosha is present you might find it challenging to reach your career goals. You may find it difficult to become what you want. And, even if you become what you want, you may not get what you deserve.
- Marriage Delays or Issues: Many people with Pitra Dosh face difficulties in finding the right partner or maintaining a happy marriage.
What Are The Best Remedies For Pitra Dosha?
The good news is that there are ways to resolve Pitra Dosh and lessen its impact on your life. These remedies are meant to bring peace to your ancestors’ souls so that they can rest peacefully and no longer pass on their karmic issues to you.
- Perform Pitra Puja: This ritual honours and appeases your ancestors. It’s best performed during Pitru Paksha, which is 15 days dedicated to rituals for the ancestors. Remember them, offer food, and make their favourite food, too, to honour them.
- Offer Food and Donations To The Needy: Offering the ancestor’s favourite food, new clothes, or donations to the needy in the name of your ancestors can help alleviate Pitra Dosh. Charity can be quite powerful during the Pitru paksha time.
- Recite Powerful Mantras: Chanting specific mantras, like the Pitra Dosha Nivaran Mantra or the famous Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, is believed to help reduce the effects of Pitra Dosh. These mantras can help ease the souls of the deceased.
