Opportunity to pay off debts of parents, 'Shraddha Paksh'

- In the scriptures of the pre-Chinese period, there is an emphasis on paying four debts in the sadhana book for walking the path of God. Such as debt, sage debt, patriarchal debt and social debt. 'Shraddha' karma is performed to pay off the debt of this patriarch.

Every year in the month of Bhadarva, 'Shraddha Paksha' comes. 'Shraddha' is also known as Sharadiya or Patriarchy. Pooja rituals, shraddha, tarpana and pindana are performed in this month for the peace of soul of the parents of those whose parents have become Kailasavasi. That is, the journey after the death of the parents as well as the close ones is free from well-being and strife, and the sacrament for them to attain enlightenment is called 'Shraddha'.

The chanting of mantras in Shraddha Vidhi motivates the patriarch to move with subtle power. In which the parents are given 'Haribharg'. Which satisfies them. Expressing one's faith in dead parents through karma kriya is a basic part of faith. Mothers, fathers, gurus, elders, etc. have innumerable blessings in our lives. The most important act of human beings is to be grateful to them. They are offered to the Sadgat patriarchs for lending.

On the morning of the day when the auspicious date of honoring the saints comes, the river or the place of pilgrimage is ritually offered. According to the Dharmashastras, on that date, Kagvas of milk dish, fodder for cows and cattle, dog parts, food offerings are made to the devout Bhudevas.

After completing the Snanadi Kriya on the date of patriarchy, the twelve and fifteenth chapters of Shrimad Bhagwadgitaji are recited with Panditji. So in some places 'Sri Vishnu Sahastra' is recited. After worship, it is necessary to irrigate the ashvattha tree (pipalo) as the abode of Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and the fathers.

The purpose of shraddhakarma is to invoke the ripple waves of energy in the universe to move the linga body of the deceased soul, so that the linga doha transcends the world of death. It does not return to Earth's atmosphere once it has crossed the Dead Sea.

'Shraddhakarma' is auspicious and beneficial. It is a sacred ritual that bears good fruit. Which is the patriarchy that bestows grace and blessings on children, bestowing glory.
