3 surefire remedies to remove Pitra Dosh on Ashadha Amavasya:
Pitra Dosh is a defect that arises due to the unsatisfied souls of ancestors or their displeasure. Pitra Dosh can be pacified by doing some special remedies on Ashadha Amavasya:
Remedy 1:Pitra Tarpan and Daan
On the day of Ashadha Amavasya, wake up in the Brahma Muhurta in the morning and take a bath. If possible, take a bath in a holy river. If this is not possible, then take a bath at home by mixing Ganga water in the water.
Then mix pure water, black sesame seeds, barley and a little Ganga water in a copper pot. Wear a ring of Kush / holy grass in your ring finger or hold Kush in your hand. Sit facing the south, as it is considered the direction of ancestors.
Chant the mantra ‘Om Aagchhantu Me Pitar Imam Grahantu Jalanjalim’ or ‘Om Pitrubhya Namah’ while remembering the ancestors and slowly offer water. On this occasion, donate food, white clothes, black sesame seeds, ghee, flour, jaggery and dakshina to Brahmins, poor or the needy for the peace of the soul of ancestors.
Feeding roti to cows and dogs is also considered auspicious. ALSO READ: India will have to do these 7 tasks before 7 October or else the future will be in trouble
Remedy 2: Worship of Peepal tree and light a lamp
On the day of Ashadh Amavasya, offer water at the root of the Peepal tree in the morning. Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva are believed to reside in the Peepal tree. After offering water, circumambulate the Peepal tree 7 times. After this, light a lamp of sesame oil or mustard oil under the Peepal.
Also, put some black sesame seeds in the lamp. And chant the mantra ‘Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevay’ or ‘Om Pitrudevaya Namah’. It is believed that doing so pleases the ancestors and removes obstacles.
Remedy 3:Recitation of Pitru Stotra and Shraddha Karma:
Reciting Pitru Stotra on the day of Ashadh Amavasya is an effective way to get rid of Pitru Dosha and get the blessings of ancestors. If you cannot do it yourself, then feed a Brahmin and give Dakshina and if possible, get a qualified Brahmin to perform Shraddha Karma or Pinddaan for the ancestors.
Clean the picture of ancestors in the south direction of the house and offer flowers and garlands to them. In the evening, light a mustard oil lamp in the south direction of the house and put black sesame seeds in it. Doing this pleases the ancestors.
By following these remedies with devotion, the effect of Pitra Dosha is reduced, and the souls of ancestors get peace, which brings happiness, prosperity, and peace in the family.
