Pitra Gayatri Mantra Benefits | Free PDF Download
During Pitru Paksha, we can all invoke the blessings of our ancestors by performing various forms of pujas. Chanting the Pitra Gayatri Mantra is a very effective means of appeasing ancestors. This mantra, when chanted in Shradh Paksha, is regarded as extremely auspicious and is also useful for removing Pitra Dosha. The Shradh Paksha begins on the Ekam Tithi of the Krishna Paksha of the month of Ashwin and continues until Amvasya, according to the Hindu calendar.
In the Shraadhpaksh, we invoke our ancestors according to their tithi, or the date they departed this material universe. We offer them food, dhoop, and pray for blessings to ensure their prosperity in life. Pind-daan is also regarded as very beneficial in Shradh Paksha, which liberates them.
