gentle reminder: Pitru Paksha

[Rajagopalan Mahadevan]

Starting 11^th we have Mahalaya Paksha or Sarva Pitru paksha until this Sarva Pitru Amavasya (Mahalaya Amavasya) on 25^th Sunday. This is an auspicious period to do all Pitru Ygana/rituals like tarpan, Sraddha, puja, Dhana etc. to your ancestors. If you are not performing any Pitru karma every year this is the ideal period you can do it and avoid pitru dosha.  You can donate to the temple or sponsor for annual poojas etc., during this auspicious period and get the blessings of your ancestors.  You can also offer food and dhana to the priests (inviting them to do pitru pooja at your home)and get their blessings. You may participate and sponsor for the Monday Rudrabhishekam today and next Monday.  Try to avoid during this period, food & drinks that are considered not Sattvic and also Navrathri which follows starting on Sep 25th. See Temple flyer how you can participate in the Navarathri Havan.

Call the temple office for any details so they can connect you with a priest.

Namasthe!
