Pitru Paksha 2025: Bhavesh Bhimanathani's Insights on Dos and Don'ts

Pitru Paksha 2025: This year, Pitru Paksha begins on September 6, 2025, and concludes on September 21, 2025. These sacred days in Sanatan Dharma honor ancestors through Shraddha, Tarpan, and Pind Daan rituals. Certain practices are recommended, and others are avoided during this period according to Hindu tradition. Astro influencer Bhavesh Bhimanathani highlights key observances and restrictions, emphasizing the significance of Pitru Paksha Amavasya.

Here are three key things everyone should know about this sacred time:

1. Avoid New Beginnings:

As mentioned in the Garud Puran, this period is solely dedicated to our ancestors. It is not considered auspicious for starting new ventures, as the focus is on resolving karmic debts and offering prayers to the departed.

2. Connection to Our Lineage:

It is believed that the souls of our past three generations reside between Bhulok (Earth) and Swarglok (Heaven). The rituals performed during Pitru Paksha help guide them towards peace, and in turn, their blessings uplift our lives

3. Importance of Sarva-Pitru Amavasya:

If daily Shraddha is not possible, then at least on Sarva-Pitru Amavasya (September 21), one should offer Pind Daan, food, and prayers to all ancestors. It is considered the most powerful day to express gratitude and seek blessings.

Pitru Paksha reminds us that our lives are intricately woven with those who came before us. Their sacrifices, values, and blessings continue to shape our journey. By remembering them, we not only honor their souls but also cleanse our lineage and bring harmony to our present and future.
