What are the benefits of doing shradh?
Shradh, it is a ceremony held in the honour and
for the benefits of deceased family relatives.
It is observed at fixed periods and on the
occasions of celebrations and mourning. Every
year, this shradh ritual is performed on the
death anniversary of a person during the
Amavasya called pitru paksha. It is a custom for
the Hindu religion, also called as Mahalayapitru
paksha, which begins at Purnima in the Ashwini
month. It is believed that shradh during these
days is highly auspicious since what we offer
during these days reached the deceased people
directly. It helps the deceased soul to rest in
peace. Shradh can be performed on the day of
Amavasya, the last day of the lunar month.

Purana describes the shradh as it is divided into
three types. One type of shradh performed daily,
another shradh performed periodically and another
shradh performed with purpose (Kamya). In North
and East India, the shardh, which is performed
for deceased ancestors is called as pitru paksha
shardh, in Tamilnadu, it is called as Aadi
Amavasai, KarikadakaVavu Bali in the state of
Kerala and Amavasi rituals in other states or
regions. The pandits for pitru pooja in Varanasi
help the deceased soul to attain moksha or
salvation. By studying the Upanishads and the
Bhagavad Gita, the pandits for shradhkaryas in
Varanasi talk about the journey of the dead and
the rituals dedicated to them for their safe
journey towards their destination. In early days,
the Indian scriptures explain the whole
significance of shradh with Agni, Garuda, Matsya
and Vayu Puranas guiding the purohits for
shradhkaryas in Varanasi.

As per the Matsya Purana, Agni, Vasus (name of a
significant class of Vedic gods) and Rudras,
which is a title of a Vedic storm-god act as
intermediaries during the occasion of Pitru
Paksha Shradh. In these days the pandits for
shradhkaryas in Varanasi do the rituals and
offered foods to the ancestors who in turn bless
those people, who are performing the rituals.
This happens due to a boon provided by the Lord
Yama, the god of death in the Hindu
Mythology. Pitru Paksha Shradh is offered to
those ancestors whose death dates have been
forgotten or for those people who have deaths
like accidents or murder. The people who failed
to perform barsi or the shradh annually (on the
death date) can also do shradh by taking the
help of pandits for shradhkaryas in Varanasi
during this pitru paksha. The Pitras The
purohits for shradhkaryas in Varanasi explained
about the shradh that the fortnight of shradh is
the time span when the pitras (ancestors) from
our current as well as previous lives can
approach the planet earth and also their
descendants. In this period the dead can be feed
on energies of the living on earth. The pitras
or ancestors suffer from hunger, thirst, heat,
cold, fatigue and also pain as punishment
according to their earlier karmic activities. In
search of relief from those pain, the ancestors
are attracted to their descendants who are karmic
debtors to them.
