Dr. Anil Kumar Tripathi
Shraddha Karma is a matter of reverence. This is a medium to specific our reverence for fathers. Shraddha is related to the motion of the soul, which is known as Priti in Sanskrit. Priyati later grew to become a phantom in colloquial. This shouldn’t be a ghost. Apart from the soul in the physique, there are thoughts and soul. The soul doesn’t go wherever, it’s omnipresent, depart it, then when the thoughts has to return out of the physique, the thoughts comes out with life. Pran comes out with the thoughts. When the life comes out, the physique is fascinated by the soul. Due to this, he revolves across the physique, doesn’t go wherever. When the physique is destroyed, the life strikes with the thoughts. Where does the thoughts come from? It has been stated that Moon Mansa: Liyate means the thoughts comes from the moon. It can also be stated that Moon Manso Jat: That is, the thoughts is the issue of the moon. Therefore, when the thoughts is unhealthy or madness rises, it’s referred to as lunatic in English. Lunar means moon and it has made lunatic phrases. The thoughts is related to the moon. Therefore, issues like coronary heart assault are extra on the complete moon day.
Moon can also be an element of vegetation. The progress of flora is excessive as a result of moon at evening. Therefore, crops develop extra at evening. During the day, they take food from the solar by way of mild synthesis and develop with the rays of the moon. When we eat that food, juice is created from it. Blood is shaped from juice. The flesh is shaped from the blood to the meat from the meat, the medal from the fats and the bone after the marrow. Semen is shaped after the bone. Semen makes ooze. The thoughts is shaped by ooze. In this fashion the thoughts is shaped by the moon. Therefore, it was stated that the food can be made as you eat. When the thoughts goes, his journey can be as much as the moon. At the time of cremation, the thoughts in which the moon can be held, the thoughts can be on the identical aspect. Pran will take the thoughts to that aspect. Since in its cycle of 27 days, the Moon rotates in 27 constellations, the moon revolves and once more involves the identical constellation on the nineteenth day. This is a 28 -day journey of the thoughts. Shraddhas have been organized to take care of the vitality of the thoughts for these 28 days.
Moon is the issue of Som. Therefore it is usually referred to as Som. Mon is most in rice. Paddy is all the time immersed in water. Mon is liquid. Therefore, we make rice flour our bodies. Sesame and barley additionally combine it. Mix water in it, additionally add ghee. Therefore, it causes much more somatism. The thumb in the palm and the underside of the index finger is the embossed place of Venus. We are born from Venus and we’re Venus, so Kush is saved there. Kush is a conductor of vitality. The one who performs Shraddha smells this physique with this hand. Since Venus is connected to him and his ancestor, he with reverence, trying on the sky, mentally dedicates them in the route of the ancestors and drops the physique to the bottom. This causes the ancestors to turn into energetic once more and journey 28 days. Thus, in the 13 months of the Moon, he reaches the moon on the velocity of the Shyan hen. It turns into a full 12 months. We do thirteenth as an emblem. They make preparations to achieve the vacation spot. Therefore, Pindadan is finished on each twenty eighth day. After that now we have no rights. The thoughts can be fragmented as quickly because it goes into the moon.
While providing pindadan, the pundits remind solely three ancestors. In truth, seven fathers ought to keep in mind. Everything is seven. There are solely seven juices, seven are metals, solar rays are additionally seven. That is why seven births have been stated. The ancestors are additionally seven. Saho quantity is 84. How? Understand this. These are seven generations, his father, grandfather, pupatamah, previous grandfather, extremely previous grandfather and the best previous grandfather. Out of these, a component of the previous grandfather, three components of the excessive -hearted grandfather, six levels of the previous grandfather, ten components of the priest, fifteen levels of the grandfather and the daddy’s twenty -one levels. If his personal earned 28 levels is added to it, then 84 gross sales are amount. As quickly as now we have a son, a component of the previous grand father goes to him and he’s liberated. This will now make the previous grandfather. As quickly because the son was born, one individual of the seventh era grew to become free. That is why there may be speak of the connection of seven generations.
Now perceive why we have a good time 15 days of Pitrupaksha. We have identified that fathers are associated to the moon. Moon’s distance from the earth is 385000 km. Is at a distance of. At the time once we have a good time Pitrupaksha, that’s, in the Pitrupaksha of Ashwin month, for fifteen days, the Moon is closest to the earth, ie about 381000 km. But it stays. It is such that he’s closest to the earth right now. That is why it’s stated that the ancestors come near us. In the Shatapatha Brahmin, it’s stated that Vibhu: Pitro Vasanti means Vibhu i.e. in the second half of the moon, the ancestors are inhabited. One aspect of the moon is in entrance of us which we see. But we by no means see the opposite aspect of the moon. At this time the moon is in the south route. The south route is taken into account to be Yama’s house. If we have a look at the sky immediately, there are two huge suns in the south route from which radiation comes out. Our sages have marked him with canine life. In the scriptures, they’re talked about by the title of small canine and giant canine. It is immediately referred to as Canis Minor and Canis Major. Its point out additionally comes in the Atharvaveda. There it’s stated that Shyamash Tva Na Sabalash Pyaditau Yamash Yau Pathirkshu canine. In this mantra of Atharvaveda 8/1/19, each these suns have been mentioned. In Shraddha, we give him a method that the ancestors don’t endure from their radiation.
In this fashion, in Pitrupaksha and Shraddha, we’re not solely remembering our ancestors, but additionally understanding the whole astronomy. This is a superb mixture of reverence and science, created by our sages. Today, many sections of the society don’t do it correctly as a result of of not understanding this scientific aspect of Shraddha. Some individuals full all of the procedures in three days and some individuals in 4 days. It shouldn’t be solely unstable, but additionally derogatory for our ancestors. We don’t organize for the existence of the ancestors that we exist, it will likely be referred to as our gratitude. Pitar means to comply with or shield. The phrase Pitar Pa Rakshe is made of metallic. It means to comply with and shield. By utilizing it in singular, its which means is the daddy who provides delivery and utilizing it in the plural causes ancestor. Therefore, the which means of Pitar Paksha is that all of us keep in mind all of the seven ancestors. Therefore, seven our bodies are organized in it. These our bodies are later merged. These our bodies have been additionally made in lowering shapes respectively in response to the previous age of ancestors. But immediately it isn’t taken care of.
