Pitru Paksha is a sixteen-day period when people pay homage and pray for the
salvation of their departed ancestors. Vedic rituals are performed during this
period to invoke Lord Krishna's blessings on them.
What can you offer to your forefathers during Pitru Paksha?
On the occasion of Pitru Paksha, people offer special prayers or Shradh and donate
liberally to charity in honour of their forefathers. The shastras recommend that
Sadhus and Vaishnavas should be offered Annadana on this auspicious day. It is also
beneficial to contribute towards Gau Seva during Pitru Paksha.
By such performance of Shraddha during Pitru Paksha, you can help your ancestors
move towards higher destinations. Your families will also be blessed with good
health, peace and prosperity by the mercy of the Lord.
We invite you to sponsor these sevas at Nandgram Dham and obtain the blessings of
Lord Krishna, who is known as Mukunda - one who awards liberation from this material
existence. You will receive Sri Krishna mahaprasadam from the temple at your home.
