Why Recurring Obstacles?
Life sometimes presents persistent problems and obstacles, such as financial difficulties, health issues, or family tensions. This could indicate Pitru Dosha (ancestral curse), arising from unfulfilled desires or debts of ancestors. Vaishakh Amavasya is an ideal time to mitigate this dosha.
Special Remedies for the Night
1. Perform Tarpan
Performing Tarpan on the night of Vaishakh Amavasya is crucial to appease ancestors. Use black sesame seeds, barley, and Kusha grass, facing south, and offer water while invoking the names of your ancestors. This brings peace to their souls and removes obstacles in life.
2. Offer Deep Daan (Lighting a Lamp)
Lighting a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree at night is considered highly auspicious. While lighting the lamp, ask forgiveness for your mistakes from your ancestors and pray for their blessings. This is a powerful way to receive their blessings.
3. Offer Food
Prepare a meal for your ancestors, including their favorite dishes. Donate this food to a poor or needy person. If possible, offer it to a Brahmin. It is believed that this food directly reaches the ancestors, satisfying them.
4. Donate
Donating on the night of Vaishakh Amavasya is highly rewarding. You can donate clothes, food grains, money, or any useful item. Donations made in the name of ancestors bring positivity and appease them.
5. Recite Pitru Stotra
Reciting Pitru Stotra or Pitru Sukta is considered a highly effective remedy to pacify Pitru Dosha. If you cannot recite it, you can listen to it.
Benefits of these Nightly Remedies
These simple remedies performed on the night of Vaishakh Amavasya can appease your ancestors and help remove the negative effects of Pitru Dosha from your life. These practices will not only bring peace to your ancestors but also bring happiness and prosperity to your life.
