Pitra Dosha – Curse & Remedies

Many people have Pitri Dosha and some other Dosha. Many people perform Pitri Shanti Yagya every year. In Vedic culture we also perform Pitri Shani Yagya every year. Pitri Shanti Yagya is better for Pitri Dosha, Matri dosha, Bhritri Dosha and related to other ancestors’.

Name of chapter is Poorva Janma Shapodhyaya, Shloka 19 to 29.
Example: Pitri Shap (past life Dosha/ curse of father): If lord of 5th house Surya is debilitated or very weak and under influence of Rahu and other malefic planets then there  is Pitri Dosha.

Name of chapter is Poorva Janma Shapodhyaya, Shloka 33 to 46.
Example: Matri Shap (past life Dosha/ curse of mother): If Chandra is debilitated or very weak and under influence of Rahu and other malefic planets and is under influence of malefic planets in 4th house then there is Matri Dosha.

Similarly wife Dosha/ curse can also be described even though it is not written in this book.

Poorva Janma Patni Dosha/ curse (past life Dosha/ curse of wife).
This is also a dosha like Pitri Dosha, Matri Dosha etc. in Brihat Parashar Horashastram (press- Thakur Prasad Pustak Bhandar, Varanasi, commentator is Pandit Ganesha Datta Pathak, print year in 1992 with Sanskrit Shlokas in Hindi).

Many similar Yoga Dosha are in past life like Pitri Shap (curse of father), mother Shap (curse of mother), (curse of wife about children), (curse of brother) etc.

Example: The bad energy is coming from the 7th house it means ladies specifically ex wife and ex girl friend. In the birth chart also 7th Lord Budha is debilitated. So it is confirm  bad energy came from ex wife or ex girl friend. In the birth chart is the WIFE DOSHA. Pitri Dosha, Mangali Dosha same type is the Wife Dosha also in Astrology. It could be checked by Prashna as well.

From https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/srijagannath/conversations/topics/20562
> A Pitri Dosha happens when the ancestors are unhappy, and occurs when the nodes (spirits/the dead) are joined Saturn, showing the sorrow of the dead afflicting oneself. Should Mars instead join a node, then its the anger of the dead (pisacha dosha). This causes yogas involved with these yogas to be stuck and/or not arise. The life is a constant effort to overcome a debt of sorts.

    It is mentioned in the Brahma Puran that, on the eve of Krishna Paksh of Ashvin month the Lord of death “Yamraj” grant freedom to all the souls so that they can accept and eat the food made by their children on the occasion of Shraad. The peoples who don’t do the Shraad for their Pitras are the one who suffers from the curse of “Pitra Dosh” as their Pitras got angry and returns to their world. Due to this the upcoming generation have to face many problems. This is what we say is “Pitra Dosh”.In this world a person’s death can be classified in two ways i.e. natural death and immature death. Natural death takes place due to the God but the immature death occurs mainly because of “Pitra Dosh”. We have seen the sudden deaths of Rajiv Gandhi, Harshad Mehta, Pramod Mahajan, Indra Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Subash Chandra Bose, Dayna and the upcoming singer Ishmit Singh which attracts our mind towards the “Pitra Dosh”.

PROBLEMS CAUSED BY “PITRA DOSH”

  • A person who is suffering from Pitra Dosh has to face many problems related to his children. Other than that their children may suffer from physical or mental disabilities. Sometimes you may have seen that a child is suffering from different types of diseases from the very first day of his birth. This is because of “Pitra Dosh” only.
  • Pitra Dosh leads to unfavourable environment in the house. A husband and wife may have issues on very small matters. All these matters are because of “Pitra Dosh” only.
  • People suffering from “Pitra Dosh” have to face problems regarding their marriage. Despite of all their efforts they are unable to get marry on time due to “Pitra Dosh”.
  • People suffering from” Pitra Dosh” regularly remains under the debts and are unable to clear their debt despite of all their efforts.
  • Many times we see that a family is always surrounded by diseases due to which that family has to face physical as well as financial problems.
  • If there is no progress in the financial condition of a family and they are always surrounded by scarcity, then it is also due to the effects of “Pitra dosh”. In such situations a person is not able to get success in any kind of work which he does.
  • If a family is suffering from “Pitra Dosh” then any member of the family may see a snake in his dream or he may see his ancestor demanding food or clothes.

Position of Planets in astrological Charts with Pitra Dosha
(taken from PITRA DOSHA – Causes, Problems and Remedies)

Pitra Dosha is found, if the planetary positions in a person’s astrological birth are as follows:

  1. Sun is placed with Rahu in 5th house.
  2. Sun is placed with Rahu in 9th house.
  3. Rahu is placed in 5th house.
  4. Rahu is placed in 9th house.

Some astrologers believe that Pitra Dosha also occurs when:

  1. Rahu is posited in 1st house (ascendant), or
  2. Rahu is posited in 2nd house.
  3. An individual may be under adverse effects of inauspicious Shrapita Yoga(dosha) if  Rahu is  placed with Saturn i.e., conjunction of Rahu and Saturn in 5th or 11th house or 5th house is afflicted by Rahu and Saturn’s aspect. There may be progeny related problems. If either the planetary aspect or placement of benefic planets is present or individuals are blessed with powerful auspicious planetary combinations (yoga) in the astrological birth chart, the adverse effects of Shrapita Yoga will be nullified or minimized.We have to detect which malefic planet is forming Pitra Dosha through the individual’s astrological birth chart, then only Pitra dosha nivaran puja should be performed to pacify that malefic planet in Pitra paksha, which generally comes in the the month of September or October. The rituals should be performed with sincerity and full faith to remember and pay homage to our forefathers.

From another source (http://www.ganeshaspeaks.com/blog_Pitru_Dosh_Causes_and_Remedies_2674.action):

A Pitra Dosh is not the curse of ancestors or forefathers. It is a Karmic Debt of the ancestors, and is to be paid by the person having Pitru Dosh in his horoscope. In simple words, a Pitru Dosh is formed in the horoscope of a person, when his/her forefathers have committed some mistakes, crimes or sins. So in return, this person is supposed to pay the Karmic debt by going through different punishments decided for those debts in different spheres of his life. He has to go through this until the debt is cleared either by taking the punishment or by doing good deeds.

Astrology has a perfect explanation to this problem. When, knowingly or unknowingly, our ancestors committed mistakes or sins, it is reflected in our horoscope as Pitru Dosh or Pitru Rina. Being their children, we are destined to suffer from the ill-effects. Because of the malefic effects of the inflicted planets, benefic planets also stop giving favourable results. These Doshas are reflected in our Horoscope by certain planetary positions. The following are common planetary positions, which form various kinds of Pitru Doshas:

1

Venus, Saturn and Rahu, or two of these three are situated in the 5th House of horoscope- The Sun becomes malefic and shows its ill effects on the native.

2

Ketu is situated in the 4th House of horoscope- One receives the malefic effects of Planet Moon.

3

Mercury or Ketu or both are situated in 1st or 8th House in the horoscope- Mars gives inauspicious results to the native.

4

Moon is situated in the 3rd or 6th House of the horoscope of the native- The native suffers from the malefic effects of planet Mercury.

5

Venus, Mercury or Rahu, any two of these three or all the three planets are situated in 2nd or 5th or 9th or 12th House of the horoscope of the native- The planet Jupiter gives inauspicious results.

6

If Sun or Moon or Rahu or any two out of these three or all these three planets are situated in the 7th House of the horoscope- The planet Venus becomes inauspicious and gives malefic effects to the native.

7

Sun, Moon or Mars or two out of these three or all these three are situated in 10th or 11th House in the horoscope- Saturn gives malefic effects as it becomes inauspicious due to the above placement.

8

Sun or Venus or both are situated in 12th House in the horoscope- Rahu gives bad results to the native as it is rendered inauspicious due to this planetary position.

9

Moon or Mars is situated in 6th House in horoscope- Ketu gives bad results to the native.

REMEDIES TO GET RID OF “PITRA DOSH”

Following are some remedies by which you can get rid of “Pitra Dosh”:

  • By completing “Trapandi Shraad”.
  • By completing the Shraad on the date on which our ancestors were expired.
  • By giving water to the Banyan tree.
  • By offering water to our Pitras for the 15 days during the Shraad or on the date of their death.
  • One should offer food to Brahmins on every “Amavasya”.
  • By donating food items on every “Amavasya” and “Poornima” in some temple or other religious places.These were the remedies by which a person suffering from “Pitra Dosh” can get rid of this Dosh. In the same way if someone wants to get rid of Pitra dosh then he/she should do the Shraad with his full respect so as to get blessings of his/her Pitras.Our Pitras accepts the donation, food and water if it is done when Sun is in Kanya sakranti in Ashvin Krishna Paksh. In the 15 days of the Shraad, the Pitras are very sure about their children and that’s why they come on their door and expects the donation from them.Pitra Dosh is having an important place in Indian numerology. If a family is facing many unexpected problems regularly or any couple is not having their own child, or new born babies are not healthy or they are born physically or mentally challenged, then the main reason for all this is that person is having “Pitra Dosh” in his horoscope. So if that person respectfully completes the Shraad of his Pitras then they got happy and gave him their blessings.
