PITRA DOSHA

There are 4 Manikarnika lakes in our holy India. Let us see the details and loactions of all these Manikarnika Lakes. 1. Varanasi: The Manikarnika Ghat ( मणिकर्णिका घाट)  located in the banks of Ganges river in Varanasi (located in Uttar Pradesh, India) 2. Thiruppuvanam: The Lord Pungavaneswarar (Lord Shiva) temple located in the banks of river Vaigai in the town of Tiruppuvanam located east of Madurai. The town Tiruppuvanam is on the National Highway connecting Madurai with Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu, India. 3. Vedaranyam: The Manikarnika Pond in the Lord Tharpaneswarar (Lord Shiva) temple located near Vedaranyam in the Nagappatinam District, Tamilnadu, India. 4. Thiruneermalai: The Manikarnika Pond located on the foothills of mountain where Lord Renganathar Temple is located. The Thiruneermalai is located very near to Pallavaram, the south western suburb of Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.  

Manikarnika Lake is an ideal place for doing Pithru Tharpanam especially during the "Mahalaya Amavasya". Lord Vishnu had created a beautiful pond by using his armour "The Chakra" in a very bright spot in this world. The Lord wanted her sister Goddess Parvathi and the Lord Shiva to take bath in that particular lake without anyone's disturbances. The Goddess Parvathi wanted to set right her jewellery before taking the bath. So the Goddess adjusted her jewellery by looking into the water in the Pond. At that time her necklace jewellery got loosened and the bead (Mani) fell into the lake. To take out the beads (Mani), Lord Shiva also looked at the water in the Pond. At that particular time, his Karna Kundalam (Jewellery) also fell into the water. Thus the Pond gets sanitized and becomes a holy place. Since the Mani (beads of Goddess Parvathi) and Karna Kundalam (Jewellery) fell into the pond, it is being called as Manikarnika Lake. By doing Pithru Tharpanam

As per the Hindu Vedic Principles, anyone who creates or instrumental in creating a water body will attain moksha and his 21 future generations would enjoy his/her virtues. This will ensure complete protection to his offsprings and bless them with all the goodness in this life.  The creation of Water bodies like lakes, ponds, canals, tube wells, bore wells and water storage tanks that caters to the general public without any restrictions by any individual involved either directly or indirectly would bring enormous amount of Virtues to the concerned person, his family members and it is carried forward to the next 21 generations. Similar way, if any one is instrumental in closing, destroying or polluting those water bodies would receive the Pitra Dosha that is carried forward to his/her next 21 generations. Now let us come to the point. If you have to close a tube well or bore well in your house, do a Puja in your house and pray to both your anscestors and the God and seek their b

In the first place, cutting a tree or trees has to be avoided altogether. If that is not possible, for some geniune reasons, then the other options of relocating it must be tried. If that is also not possible, then following precaution has to be taken, before cutting a tree.  1. Must ensure that any bird has Nest or hatchlings are in the tree. If you find any hatchlings or the bird is in the verge of hatching, you must wait until the bird changes its locations.  2. Puja room or Prayer hall must be built over the place, where the tree had been standing. 3. You should never build a bedroom, living room or any business place above the place, where the tree had been standing.  4. You must do necessary puja before the commencement of removing a tree. 5. You should remember the cutting of the tree, by offering a special puja or/and prayer on the anniversary day.  This would ensure that you and your family members would not be troubled by the Pitra Dosha by cutting trees (that ha

Rearing a Pet animal invites some form of Pitra Dosha. Let us see a few examples of rearing a Pet animal. 1. Chaining the Dogs. 2. Caging the Birds. 3. Rearing Fish in a small glass jar. 4. Trimming the wings of the bird. 5. Locking up and tying up animals. We are into a false opinion that we are in fact helping the birds/animals/fishes with a secure envronment to live. That is, we provide food, health care and physical security to those animals. But we strip the freedom, the fundamental rights of that animals to live freely. In one stroke, by caging a animal, we condemn them to life imprisonment on them. Thus we damage a Birth cycle of a soul; putting them into difficulties for our own selfish interests or happiness If you really want to rear a pet animal means that you should be able to allow the animal to live in freedom as they do in the natural environment. Otherwise it would invite Pitra Dosha. Let us see the possible effects of Pitra Dosha for this type of Sins.

Everyone likes to know, what happens immediately after death? What happens to the Inner mind & thoughts? Would we just go into oblivion? (OR) Would we experience a new life or a new experience? The Hindu Vedas has clear answer to it. Let us find the sequence that happens immediately after death. 1. The Soul comes out of the body through any one of the nine openings that are in the human body. They are Eyes (2), Nose (2), Ear (2), Mouth (1), Private parts (2).  2. The People who are addicted towards the wordly pleasure would struggle to accept the reality that they are already dead; and the process could not be reversed.

The Soul also gets a shape (body) which is called "Stuchama Body"; in this position, a Soul can move very fast, can hear what others speak, and see what is happening around it. But others
