News India Live, Digital Desk: Pitru Paksha is the sixteen -day sacred period of Sanatan Dharma when we remember our ancestors, ie the ancestors, and perform Shraddha Karma for the peace of their soul. This time, which runs from Bhadrapada Purnima to Ashwin Amavasya every year, is also known as ‘Mahalaya Shraddh’. During this time, the tarpan and bodies donated during this time gives satisfaction to the ancestors and they bless us of happiness and prosperity. But, have you ever wondered why this ancestral side is for 16 days? A deep and interesting relationship of this is associated with a great warrior of the Mahabharata period. According to the ruling stories, when the war of Mahabharata ended, Paramdani and the great warrior Danveer Karna passed away. After his death, Karna’s soul reached Swargalok. In heaven, he was served gold and silver piles and delicious dishes, but in spite of all this, Karna remained hungry because he was getting only gold and jewelery in the form of food. Karna asked Swargadevata Indra the reason for this odd situation. Indra then told Karna that he donated only gold-silver and jewelery throughout his life, but never donated or shraadh for his ancestors. This is the reason that he was getting only what he donated in heaven. Karna accepted his mistake and asked Indra to return to the earth for 16 days to rectify his mistake. Indradev gave this permission to Karna. Karna came back to earth for 16 days. For these 16 days, he performed Shraddha, offered his ancestors by law and gave food to the Brahmins. This action was satisfied with his ancestors and Karna’s soul was peaceful. This sixteen -day period became famous as ‘Pitru Paksha’. Since then, it has been believed that in these 16 days of Pitru Paksha, a person who performs Shraddha Karma for his ancestors, his ancestors and blesses him, which gives a person happiness, prosperity and peace in life. Thus, the ancestral side is not just a tradition, but a sacred opportunity to express reverence and gratitude to the ancestors.
