Significance of keeping PINDA while doing Thithi.

-


As Stated in the Bagavad Gita,

According to the rules and regulations of the fruitive activities or during Thithi the action of Pinda Pradhana, is done as there is need to offer periodical food and water to the forefathers of the family. This offering is performed by worship of Lord Vishnu, because eating the remnants of the food offered to Lord Vishnu can deliver one from all kinds of sinful reactions. Sometimes the forefathers could be suffering from various types of sinful reactions, and sometimes some of them cannot even aqquire a gross material body and are forced to remain in subtle bodies in the form of Ghost.

Thus, when the remnants of Prasadham food are offered to forefathers by descendants, the forefathers are released from ghostly or other kinds of miserable life.  

Family Tradition

Rendering Such help to our forefathers is a family tradition and Those who are not in devotional life i.e. people like you and me who are involved in family life are required to perform such Rituals. Whereas the one(s) who are engaged in in the devotional life is not required to perform such actions. Simply by performing devotional service, one can deliver hundreds and thousands of forefathers from all kinds of misery.    

What and why:


One year after death, an annual death ceremony will be held , that is called as "Thithi" . Thithi literally means "Date". The only date the ancient Hindus bothered about was this death ceremony. Even to today the same custom survives without much change. Still, it is the most important ceremony to be done by a son for his dead father, mother and ancestors. Ancient Hindus believed that and present day Hindu also still believe that if the annual ceremony is not held properly, the soul will not reach heaven and also will not get nourishment. Further the soul will be neglected in heaven or even worse scenario that the souls of ancestors will be sent to hell. Such is the bondage on living decedent that he had to conduct the annual death ceremony (Thithi) without that his Pithrus (Fathers and fore fathers) will be put into eternal punishments.

In India we worship our nation as a symbol lady,   Bharat Mata,  so here are my top things on the list for things to learn before 30 in my funny, loving India: Learning to speak and communicate in English fluently, because, if you are applying for a position anywhere in India, all they look at, above intelligence and smartness, is  how fluent your English is.  English Speaking is the biggest qualification, degrees come second. Learning to drive at slowest possible speed, thanks to the potholes on every road in our country, it should have been -  difficult to find potholes on the roads,  It actually is -  difficult to find roads amongst potholes.  First Gear Zindabad.
