PITRA KARMA YOGA - OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS ANCESTORS
Origination of This Yoga :-
All Devatas will pray to me with this thinking Lord Brahma has given Birth (Life) to them. But due to their attachments towards the Results of ‘Indriya Tripti'. All devatas started their own Pooja instead of Lord Brahma. Due to this Lord Brahma had given Shaap to them & hence their Chetna (Smarana Shakti) damages & they lost their knowledge & from that day all the people who were praying to devatas fall in Moha (Greed).
After this all devatas have requested for forgiveness of their mistakes. Lord Brahma while keeping in mind the situation of the World told them to do the Prayashchit because all Devatas have violated the norms of Pooja. For Prayashchit Karma (Deeds) you can consult from your children. Only then you will get the knowledge of the Prayashchit Karma.
All Devatas then asked from their children's about the Prayashchit Karma. All the children's after long thinking opened their mouth & said all the knowledgeable people indulge in Dharma Gyan say it is possible to do the Prayashchit from Vani, Mind, Karma, & Eyes. After this their children's called all Devatas a Child & told them to leave this place.
All the Devatas feel insulted when their children called them the children. They all went to Lord Brahma to clear their doubts. Lord Brahma told all Devatas that you are Brahm Vadi. Whatever your children have told you is all correct.
Lord Brahma further told that you have given Birth to your Children so you are their father (Devata) & they have given you Knowledge (education) so they have been termed as your Ancestor (Pitra). All Devatas & children (Pitra) you both are Ancestors (Pitra) among each other.
All Devata then told their children since you called us Putra (Child) so you are termed as Pitra (Divya Ancestor) & Any living Being (Human Being) in this world in any generations (Yugas) who in the periods of Shradha without doing Pooja to Pitra (Ancestor), whatever Karma (Deeds) He/She will do then the benefits of those Karmas (Deeds) will get damaged or be taken by Daityas or Snakes.
You are the Divya Ancestors (Pitra) & on Shradha all the ancestors of Human Beings wherever they are will get satisfied & the powers of Moon of that person even if weak will get the Strength. Afterwards Moon & Ancestors will give all the benefits to the human being like Education, Children, Money, Job, and Marriage etc and work towards the fulfillment of their desires.
This was one of the blessings given by all Devatas. From that day onwards all Devatas are considered as Pitra (Ancestor) & all Pitra (Ancestors) are considered as Devatas.
Hence PITRA KARMA YOGA ORIGINATES INSTEAD OF PITRA DOSHA.
In Kaal Purush (Natural Zodiac) Horoscope 9th House has been given to the Jupiter who represents the Blessings of our Ancestors. This house has the full power to give strength to all the Planets.
Importance of Gaya
In astrology a term known as Pitra Paya & there are certain years allotted to Pitra (Ancestors) in the life of every human beings.
The transit of Jupiter has been considered as one of the most important transit. It is because of this transit the effects of Pitra (Ancestors) through aspects, Degrees; Placement of Jupiter in a particular house can easily be seen.
Things to do in the Shradha have been explained in detail in the VISHNU PURAN (RELIGIOUS BOOK).
Recitation of VISHNU PURAN AND SHIV PURAN (Religious Books) in the period of Shradha and service to Brahmin’s has been considered as very auspicious.
