Pitru Dosha

Astro News: Pitru Dosh has been given a very important place in Indian astrology and Puranas. It is believed that when the position of planets in the birth chart shows the dissatisfaction of ancestors or there is a lack of their blessings, then Pitru Dosh arises. This dosha can cause difficulties, obstacles, financial problems and mental stress in a person's life.

Types of Pitru Dosha

1. Karmjanya Pitru Dosha

When a person does not respect his ancestors, does not perform Shraddha or Tarpan for them, or abandons the rituals and traditions given by them, then this dosha arises.

Effects:

  • Discord and unrest in the family
  • Mental stress and obstacles in work
  • Distance and failures in relationships

2. Debt-borne Pitru Dosha

If ancestors are unable to repay someone's debt during their lifetime or leave behind incomplete resolutions, then this incomplete energy of theirs affects the descendants.

Effects:

  • Frequent financial crises
  • Debt burden
  • Instability in life

3. Premature death: Pitra Dosh

When an ancestor dies prematurely in abnormal circumstances—such as accident, suicide, murder or war—his soul remains incomplete.

Effects:

  • Sudden crises and accidents
  • Serious illnesses
  • Frequent failures in life

4. Pitra Dosha arising from neglecting Shraadh and Tarpan

Shraddha and Tarpan are considered very important for the peace and satisfaction of ancestors. When descendants are negligent in performing these duties, the ancestors remain unhappy.

Effects:

  • Financial difficulties
  • Diseases and physical sufferings
  • Obstacles in child happiness

5. Pitra Dosh caused by planets

According to astrology, when the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu are in an inauspicious position and affect the fifth house (house of children) or the ninth house (house of religion and ancestors), then Pitra Dosh is formed.

Effects:

  • Obstacle to child happiness
  • Obstacles in education and career
  • Luck not on your side

Remedies 

Whether Pitra Dosh is caused by karma, debt, premature death, neglect of Shraddha or planetary position, its solution is possible.

Main remedies:

  • Performing Shraddha and Tarpan of ancestors
  • Special Puja on Amavasya and Pitru Paksha
  • Donation and service in the name of ancestors
  • Graha Shanti Anushthan as per Kundali

Ignoring Pitra Dosh can create continuous obstructions and difficulties in life. If this dosha is present in the birth horoscope, then by taking timely remedies and keeping reverence towards ancestors, happiness, peace and prosperity can be achieved in life.
