- In Shraddha, we have been performing rituals for offering tarpan to the parents in many ways. It has been believed that giving food to Dakshina and Vipra alleviates the sufferings of the fathers.
Even in this Dharmashastra, the relation of Shraddha has been considered in such detail that any other religious deed against it seems short! Even the small rituals performed during Shraddha are so subtle that the thinking person is amazed. Shraddha ritual becomes a subject of study for psychologists. Why are our scriptures and our traditions so important? For this we understand by example. When we build a new house or have a happy occasion within the family. If any other ceremony is planned. At this time, it is natural to remember our heavenly loved ones.
It would be nice if they were with us at this time! What a joy! Which makes us happy or sad just like us in our happiness and sorrow. His memory cannot be forgotten though. So it is natural that even those of the unknown world should attend our celebration of joy and happiness! Our vow to stay with us, not with the body but with the soul, remains an expression of our faith and love for them. His mental invocation and worship is Shraddha!
In Shraddha, we have been performing rituals for offering tarpan to the parents in many ways. It has been believed that giving food to Dakshina and Vipra alleviates the sufferings of the fathers. There are many pilgrimage places. Where these rituals are performed under the pipal and wadla trees. Often people do not pay attention to the fact that an important example of tree planting in this time is found in the Padma Purana.
In the Padma Purana, Bhishma expressed his desire to recite the ritual of growing trees by the sage Pulatsya. The sage Pulatsya pointed out that the work of planting plants should be done on any auspicious day when Uttarayan comes. The tree bears fruit for a childless couple. In this way, by going to the shrines, the fruit of the tree planter's pindana is obtained. The sage Pulatsya says that listen, the man who grows sacred trees on all four sides of the reservoir becomes a partner of eternal fruit.
The fruit that humans get by planting a pipal tree near a reservoir. It is not even obtained by performing hundreds of yagnas. The leaves of this tree fall into the water on every festival day. That is why parents receive Akshay Punya. Thus the birds that live on the tree eat the fruits as they wish. Its fruit is obtained by feeding the Brahmins.
In our scriptures, the work of growing trees is considered to be the best work of virtue. It is written in Bhavishyapurana that a person plants shade trees, flowering and fruit bearing trees. Or plant trees on the roads as well as in the grounds of temples. They save their fathers from great sins! In this world itself, fame and glory get the auspicious fruit of honor. It is also shown in this Purana that worldly karma prevails over trees. And offers him heaven. It is believed that if one plants a horse (pipal) tree. So that's more than a million sons for them!
In the tenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, in verse twenty-six, Lord Krishna has said, Lord Buddha attained enlightenment by doing penance under a banyan tree. Trees also protect the lives of the general public by emitting oxygen. The grace of our ancestors gives us energy from the natural resources of the universe!
