Pitru paksha 2025: Pitrupaksha, which has started from 7 September this year, will run till 21 September. Shraddha Paksha is a time when we remember our ancestors, that is, the ancestors and perform Shraddha. During this time, many people have a dilemma in the mind whether to buy new things is auspicious or inauspicious. People believe that there should be no new thing in Pitrupaksha, whether it is clothes, vehicles or household items. There is a belief behind this that by doing this, the ancestors get angry and there is negativity in the house. TV9 Digital Hindi talked about this Maharishi Parashar Astrology Institute Trust from Jyotishacharya Pt. Rakesh Pandey.
Pitrupaksha and shopping, what is the truth?
When we test this belief to the test of the scriptures, we find that there is no clear ban on shopping in Shraddha Paksha. Scholars like Jyotishacharya Pandit Rakesh Pandey also believe that Pitrupaksha should not be considered inauspicious. This time is not of mourning or weeds, but to express respect and gratitude to his ancestors. Actually, this thing was not written in the scriptures and it was not said that shopping should not be done in Shraddha Paksha. This is only a social perception, which people have created according to their convenience and beliefs.
Why should not Manglik work?
It is true that Manglik work, such as marriage, home entry or shaving etc. are not done in Pitrupaksha. The reason for this is that in these days our entire focus is focused on remembering our ancestors and performing Shraddha for them. The nature of Manglik works is not in line with the severity and peace of this period. In contrast, buying new daily use of daily use is not inauspicious and there is no conflict with the honor of the ancestors.
Buying new things gives ancestors happy!
According to Jyotishacharya, when you buy a new item, it reflects the prosperity and happiness of your family. This gives a message to your ancestors that their family is happy and prosperous. In such a situation, the ancestors are happy instead of getting angry with you and give you their blessings.
Keep these things in mind?
Remember the fathers: The basic purpose of Pitrupaksha is to remember their ancestors and express reverence for them. We should also remember them respectfully while making new purchases.
be you’re self: During this, avoid excessive pretense or extravagance. Maintain simplicity and humility.
Donate: Donation has special significance in Pitrupaksha. Along with shopping, make sure to donate to the poor and the needy. By doing this, the soul of the ancestors brings peace.
Therefore, buying new things in Pitrupaksha is not wrong at all. This is only a social perception, which has no basis in the scriptures. You can shop during your requirement during this time. Just remember your fathers and keep your reverence towards them.
