Pitra Dosh Nivaran Mantras

Pitru Dosh is the cause of many problems in our life. These may crop up as marital turbulence, familial disputes, delays in professional growth, continuous illnesses etc. if you don't t know whether or not you suffer from Pitru Dosha but can observe these symptoms of Pitru Dosh in your life, then you must get your horoscope analysed for the same.

Why does Pitru Dosh occur?

Pitru Dosh occurs because our ancestors’ souls or the souls of the departed family members did not attain moksha. Due to this, the souls wander aimlessly in search of nirvana. This also happens if their death is caused untimely due to accidents or use of weapons. Or if their desires remain unfulfilled. They leave earth unsatisfied and hence, cannot get salvation. Moreover, Pitru dosh occurs if the cremation or last rites for the

dearly departed

could not be completed due to some or the other reason. Finally, ancestors are unable to attain moksha due to their wrong deeds or sins in their life.


Therefore, to cure oneself of Pitru Dosha,

Shradh puja

and rituals need to be performed to salvage the souls. Shradh can be performed during Pitru Paksha, a 16-days long lunar period when all Hindus can pay homage to their ancestors. Also, to pacify all ancestors with Shradh Puja, homage can be performed with Sarvapitru Amavasya Shradh Puja on Mahalaya day.

Besides Shradh rituals, chanting these mantras can help alleviate Pitru Dosha as well. These mantras can help rejuvenate life and help achieve peace and happiness.
