PITRA DOSHA AND AGED PARENTS

Pitra Dosha or Pithru Dosham and Old Age Peoples

Pitra Dosha or Pithru Dosham not only covers the neglect of departed souls, but the living aged peoples especially parents. We find out the peoples, who gets affected by Pitra Dosha or Pithru Dosham.

1. Offsprings especially Sons (but includes daughter too to a certain extent) who neglect their aged parents.

2. Indifference shown by their Sons/daughters due to economic, property and personal disputes on the aged parents.

3. Husband and Wife should treat their father/mother in-laws as their own parents; failure on the part of Husband or Wife to look after their in-laws invite Pitra Dosha or Pithru Dosham.

4. No one can escape from Pitra Dosha or Pithru Dosham by declaring that he/she looks after their parents/in-laws monetarily; but lives separately from them.

5. Looking after means tending them with care, politeness along with love and affection; does not mean anything about money.

6. Separating Husband & Wife to live among their Sons or Daughters.

7. Shunting or Shuttling the parents within the brothers/sisters.

Now we understand that living with aged people is compulsory. As per the Vedic principle, a person attains moksha, only if he dies at the lap of his Son or Daughter. The Son/Daughter is supposed to recite hymns or mantras to their parents during the final moments. Any one who lives abroad or stays away hundreds of miles from their parents either has to take their aged parents with them or adjust their work schedules, so that they can live with their parents.

Fighting with In-laws should not be allowed to denigrate into lower levels; also aged peoples has also many responsibilities (We study at the later stage). So everyone should remember that fighting with parents/in-laws bring strong retribution in the form of Pitra Dosha or Pithru Dosham on their Sons and Daughters at the later stage especially after the marriage.
