Problems are part of life, it is always up and down, no straight line, but if someone is going through problems after problem in life with no solution and no stop gaps even after doing all kinds of donations, temple poojas, pariharams, annadanams etc but still the problem remains then pls go ahead further with this post.

This mahalaya paksha dates are 6-Sep to 21-Sep which is very critical, the 15 days that comes every year right after ganesh festival will help to change your problem straight line. This period is called Mahalaya paksha / paksham / pitru paksham.


Mahalaya paksham is an important event that happens every year right after ganesh chaturthi / festival, while this is considered inauspicious, a death rite is performed during this cermony known as tarpanam / tarpan / tharpanam in tamil and shraddha in north. It starts right after the first day ending new moon known as mahalaya amavasya or pitru amavasya. Also scientifically if i can say, sun transitions from northern to southern hemisphere durig this time.

in general, as per our hindu culture, the three generations of ancestors live in pitru loka right after death. There are 14 lokas where 7 are upper part of the loka and 7 are on the lower side of the loka. So when the next generation of soul / athma / atma leave the body, the elder ancestor in pitru loka will move higher up to reach god.

This is the reason usually tarpanam / tarpan or shraddha are doing for 3 levels of ancestors and not beyond that.

Also from mahabharata, when karna / karnan went to upper loka, he got everything except food, when enquired, he was told that in all his life he gave all kind of donations and help but did not provide food / annadanam to anyone or tarpanam / tharpanam or mahalaya paksha sankalpam 2017 to his elders. He did informed that he was not aware of his ancestors till the last min and hence he was not able to do that. Hearing his argument, lord yama sent him back to the world for 15 days to do this tarpanam /tharpanam so that he gets what he wanted.
scientifically during this period sun transits to tula / libra which confirms the beggining period of this mahalaya paksha and stays there for a month before moving into viruchigam / virchika or scorpia. The beleif is during this period the ancestors were free to go from pitru loka and they reach to their descendants home and it is believed that they have to do whatever they can to please their ancestors during this 15 days to get their blessings

generally if someone is not doing tarpanam on every amavasya, doing it on mahalaya is very important as this would cover all the remaining months.

what needs to be done is very simple, for all these 15 days, pls make sure to be clean, take a bowl of rice mixed well with ellu or sesame.

clean the place in the open area with water and place this mixed rice with little amount of rice for crows (who are considered as a version of ancestors in hindu religion). Continue doing this everyday for all these 15 days, also feeding cows, providing food for dis-abled / elders would also help. This is very simple but a powerful act that will help to get rid of your miserable problems slowly. If possible, try avoiding onion, garlic, potato, alcohol etc.

Try this every year

  1. Astrology is genuine yet the every day horoscopes that you read in the paper or online are just a little piece of genuine astrology. Such horoscopes are dictated by utilizing a diagram with the rising Sun on the ascendant and they especially rely upon the entry of the traveling Moon to make the every day forecasts.
