Effective Vastu Tips For Pitru Paksha 2024
Pitru Paksha is currently ongoing as per the Hindu calendar and this is the correct time to pay respect and love to the deceased member of your family. It is believed that during these days of the year, your ancestors visit your house. This is the best time to take all their blessings and maintain harmony in your life. Here are some most effective Vastu tips to be followed during this Pitru Paksha.
Maintain Hygiene And Cleanliness
As it is believed that our ancestors visit us during Pitru Paksha, so we should welcome them in a clean and hygienic home. To get all the positive energy of this period, one should maintain a cleanliness and clutter-free environment inside the house.
Light A Diya
During Pitru Paksha, one must light a diya filled with oil in the southwest corner of your home after the evening. this corner is believed as Pita Sthan and lighting diya here every evening ensures peace inside your house and it also provides peace to the souls of your ancestors.
To get the maximum benefit, one can light a mustard oil lamp under a peepal tree and remember their ancestors. This brings a lot of harmony and blessings to your life.
Offer Shradh And Trpan
During this entire period, we offer food and perform shradh for our ancestors. We should always perform the rituals of Shradh And Trpan in the south direction and not sleep with our feet facing this direction. Showing disrespect in this direction can lead to Pitru Dosh or the wrath of your ancestors which can come up with a lot of damage to your life.
Feed Cow, Crow, And Dog
During Pitru Paksha, we must pay attention on feeding animals. Offering food continuously before eating to a cow, crow, or dog can bring a lot of happiness and peace to your life. According to Hindu beliefs, cows, crow, and dogs are considered legators to our ancestors, and offering them food can help in making them happy.
Planting Trees
It is also believed that planting Peepal or Tulsi plants during this period is another way to make your deceased family member happy. You can plant a peepal plant at the southwest corner or a tulsi plant at the northeast corner. These trees are believed to maintain the happiness and blessings of your ancestors in your house and a protection to your family from any calamity.
This is a pure time to gain all the blessings and love of your fore-elders. All these are fruitful practices from Vastu Shastra to get the blessing and make your ancestors happy.
