Description

Pitru Dosh refers to the karmic debt or imbalance caused by unsatisfied ancestors (Pitru) whose souls have not attained peace. It manifests in the horoscope when planetary positions, especially in the 9th house (house of ancestors and fortune), are afflicted by malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn.

People suffering from Pitru Dosh often face repeated obstacles in life — delays in marriage, childlessness, health issues, financial instability, and lack of peace at home. Despite hard work, success remains elusive, and a sense of unknown guilt or burden lingers.

Common Causes:

• Not performing proper last rites of ancestors

• Disrespecting elders

• Ancestral sins or unresolved family karma

Remedies:

• Collecting money eqaully from the blood relatives and donate to the religious place

• Regular performance of Shraddha and Tarpan on Amavasya and Pitru Paksha

• Offering water mixed with black sesame seeds to ancestors daily

• Reciting Pitru Dosh Nivaran Mantras or Garuda Purana readings

• Worship of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, and offering food to Brahmins

• Performing Pind Daan in sacred places like Gaya

Consistent spiritual practices and honoring one’s ancestors help mitigate Pitru Dosh and bring harmony to family life.
