Pitru Paksha Shradh Puja at Trimbakeshwar

About Shradh Puja | Importance of Shraadh Puja at Trimbakeshwar Temple  

Shradh puja is done to pay respect to one's dead ancestors or forefathers to liberate them, please them and seek forgiveness from them. This ritual assists the spirits of one's ancestors find peace and go to the next world. It’s purpose is to feed, protect, and assist the souls of the deceased on their journey from the lower to the higher realms, prior to their reincarnation and reappearance on Earth. Shradh is typically performed every year on the tithi (lunar day) of the individual’s death. If the tithi is not known and only the month is known, then the Shradh can be performed on the Amavasya (new moon) of that month. It can be alternatively performed in the period of Pitra Paksha which is a 16-day period that comes every year in Krishna paksh of Ashwin month on the tithi as per date of individual’s death or on the last day which is Sarva Pitru Amavasya or Mahalaya on which prayers for all ancestors can be performed.   

It involves rituals of Tarpan, Pind daan, donations, prayer and mantra offerings. According to the Brahma Purana and other Vedic texts rituals performed for these souls assist them to find peace and go forward on their journey.   

Origin and significance  
The Hindu scriptures state that every person carries multiple types of spiritual “debt” in life, from the moment they are born. Throughout his or her life, each individual must find a way to repay those debts. One debt is known as the “ancestral loan” or Pitru Runa. Shradh rituals give everyone the opportunity to make this “payment”. Hindu texts also state that three generations of ancestors from your family tree reside in an in-between realm called Pitriloka after death. For 16 days each year, during Pitru Paksha, the god of death, Yamraja or Yama frees the ancestors to accept gifts from their descendants. It is believed that through the medium of Shradh rituals, the performer can help them achieve salvation.   

Shradh is a social and religious obligation imposed on all Hindus. The significance attributed to the birth of a son in India reflects the necessity to guarantee that a male descendent would conduct the Shradh ritual after one's death. Even women nowadays do Shradh for their ancestors. The ritual is carried out in memory of the dead father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, as well as the deceased mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. It also liberates the family members or close friends who got untimely death through abortion, miscarriage, accident, suicide etc. Its purpose is to feed, protect, and assist the souls of the deceased on their journey from the lower to the higher realms, prior to their reincarnation and reappearance on Earth.  

Shradh is performed for the spirits of the departed to find peace and freedom. It is done to satisfy and appease the unfulfilled wants of spirits stuck in this world because of strong cravings that remain in the soul even after death. The Shradh rites assist in liberating these spirits by cleansing them of all misdeeds, and attachments. The significance and relevance of Shradh puja is described in many Hindu Puranas, including Agni Purana, Garuda Purana, and Matysa Purana. According to the Garuda Purana, spirits who do not receive Pind daan, Tarpan, and other offerings roam aimlessly on Earth and create disturbance in life of their loved ones to seek attention.  

Performing Shradh rites for the dead is regarded a meritorious deed, and it is thought that when one's ancestors are happy, even Gods are pleased, and the native is showered with benefits of peace, wealth, development, and the well-being of one's off springs.
