Join the Special Pitru Homa & Pinda Tarpanam in Kashi

Pitru Paksha is the sacred 16-day period dedicated entirely to our ancestors. When Bharani Nakshatra occurs during this period, it is known as Maha Bharani.

Bharani is connected with Lord Yama, the deity associated with dharma, death, karma, and the journey of the soul. Because of this connection, Maha Bharani is traditionally considered a very significant day for ancestral prayers and remedies.

Special Pinda Tarpanam in Kashi - Varanasi

Kashi has been considered one of the most sacred places for ancestral worship for thousands of years.

This is a beautiful opportunity to remember those who came before us and pray for healing and blessings across your entire family lineage.

Why Our Ancestors Are So Important

We inherit much more than our family name.

According to Vedic tradition, we can also carry the Samskaras (impressions), blessings, unresolved karmas, and patterns of our lineage.

Sometimes the same struggles appear again and again within a family - difficulties involving relationships, prosperity, health, children, stability, or peace of mind.

Traditionally, these repeating ancestral influences are connected with what is known as Pitru Dosha or ancestral karma.

Pitru Paksha is the time given to us to consciously acknowledge our lineage, express gratitude, pray for departed family members, and seek freedom from unresolved ancestral karmic patterns.

The intention is not only to pray for those who have passed.

It is also to bring greater peace to those who are living today and blessings to the generations that will come after us.

On this sacred day, a special Pitru Homa will be performed with your Sankalpa. As an additional sacred offering, Pinda Tarpanam will be performed in Kashi, Varanasi, on the banks of the sacred Ganga.
