Pitru Paksha 2024 is starting soon! Discover when to honor your ancestors and the secrets of performing Shraddh rituals right. Don't miss out!
Pitru Paksha 2024 is just around the corner, and let’s face it – it can be a tad confusing! Spanning from Ashwin Krishna Paksha Amavasya to the day of the full moon, these sixteen days are dedicated to honoring our ancestors or 'Pitrs'. This year, the ceremony begins on September 17, or some say September 18, leaving people scratching their heads and deciding when to start the Shraddh rituals. Is it just me, or does the full moon and Pitru Paksha dates feel like a cosmic game of hide and seek?
The rituals often take place to appease the souls of the departed, and these days, following the right timings is like trying to navigate through Mumbai’s traffic—tricky! Originally believed to start from the full moon of Bhadrapada, tradition states Pitru Paksha actually kicks off on the Krishna Paksha Pratipada. Talk about losing track of the lunar calendar! This year's Pitru Paksha runs from Tuesday, September 17, through October 2. That’s plenty of days to lay out the offerings for our dear ancestors, hoping they are satisfied enough to bless us with their soothing presence.
Now, here’s the scoop on rituals: the direction to perform this ceremony makes a huge difference! According to Vastu Shastra, the South direction is considered auspicious since that’s where the ancestors are believed to arrive. So, if you’re planning to set up a small altar, ensure you’re facing the right way, or you might end up with your ancestors giving you the side-eye! And for those wondering about their family's rituals, it’s time to channel your inner detective and gather wisdom from the family elders.
Before diving headfirst into the rituals, make sure you’re not just following random online posts. The secret to conducting these rites properly is to blend respect with the right timing and direction. Whether you’re planning a grand feast or a simple offering, remember—gratitude is the name of the game! Oh, and here’s a fun fact: did you know, in some regions of India, it is believed that the spirits of ancestors visit their families during these 16 days? Hence, the focus on creating an inviting atmosphere! So let’s prepare to welcome our ancestors back home – just remember to clear the clutter and leave out some goodies!
