The ceremonies associated with Shradh are believed to be important for the well being of the entire clan. It is believed that ancestors who died with some wish unfulfilled do not attain peace. When pujas and ceremonies of Shradh are performed in the correct manner, they are said to get the strength to overcome ties that bind them to the astral world and move on. Also, respect for ancestors is deeply ingrained in cultures across the world, particularly among the Asian and native Indian civilizations. That being the case, repaying the debt to ancestors is supposed to be one of the primary duties of an individual. publive-image The concept of Shradh is consonant with the belief in the continuity and eternal nature of life. The Bhagavad Geeta explicitly states that the subtle body and soul are not destroyed along with the physical body, which is perishable. These go on, which means that even though ancestors who have passed away are not present in the physical dimension, their soul and emotions still exist and will always do so. Death, therefore, is not the end of life or relationship, but a transformation.

This is not a punishment as much as a mirroring of the frustration members of the family is experiencing in another dimension because of the negligence of an individual, so it is said to rub off. publive-imageThis year, Shradh or Pitru Paksha starts on September 13 and concludes on September 28.
