The family is the foundation of culture and the school for character-building.
If we forget our ancestors, it is like a tree forgetting its roots.
Pitru Paksha is not just a part of the present, but a timeless link between the past and the future.
– HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji – Muniji

Pitru Paksha reminds us that remembering and honoring our ancestors forms the foundation of life. Shraddh, Tarpan, and Pind Daan are not merely rituals, but a continuous stream of values and cultural wisdom.

This year, Pitru Paksha begins on Bhadrapada Purnima coinciding with a lunar eclipse, making it an especially significant time for purification of the body, mind, and soul. Through fasting, meditation, and mantra chanting, we can deeply connect with our roots and fill our lives with balance and spiritual energy.

Life’s difficulties are temporary, but the light of the soul is eternal. Pitru Paksha teaches us this timeless truth.
