Magha + Pitru Paksha. A powerful day for honoring ancestors

Nakshatras are the crown jewel of Vedic astrology. Magha Nakshatra belongs to Pitris, the ancestors. And Pitru Paksha is the fortnight dedicated to ancestors. This is the period when they visit Bhu loka from Pitru loka. Within Pitru Paksha, when Moon transits the Magha Nakshatra, there is a direct communion with our ancestors.

Remedies for today:

• Perform Tarpana with water and black sesame, according to your family tradition.
• Offer food or donate a meal in your ancestors’ names.
• Light a diya and remember ancestors from both your maternal and paternal lineages.
• Pray for their peace. Include those whose names have been forgotten.
• Honour living elders through service, patience, and respect.
• Chant Om Swadha Swadha Swadha

We walk this Earth because of our ancestors!
We represent all our past generations.
They are living through Us.
