During Pitru Paksha, Hindus all over the world perform Shraaddha and Pitru Puja for their departed ancestors. But do we really know the correct Vedic process? In this video, Krishna Kripa Dasa, full-time missionary of ISKCON and well-known spiritual speaker, explains the true meaning of Shraddha, the mistakes people make, and the simple method anyone can follow to honor their forefathers.
🌿 What Krishna Kripa Dasa Explains in This Video
Why placing food in front of an ancestor’s photo does not work ❌
The real Vedic process → food must be first offered to Lord Vishnu with Tulsi leaf, then accepted by Vaishnava Brahmanas, and only then delivered to ancestors through Pitru Devtas
Meaning of the word Shraddha → rooted in faith that Lord Vishnu will liberate our ancestors
How gratitude, duty, and devotion are the heart of Shraaddha
Benefits of Pitru Puja: prosperity, good health, children, longevity, freedom from Pitru Dosh, and eligibility for birth in a Vaishnava family
Why Lord Rama performed Shraaddha for Dasharatha and Lord Chaitanya for His ancestors in Gaya
Our forefathers gave us life, lineage, property, family, and identity. Without them, we would have nothing. By performing Shraaddha:
We show gratitude for everything we inherited
We help ancestors who may be suffering or wandering without a body
We fulfill our duty as descendants
And most importantly, we give them liberation through Lord Vishnu’s mercy
🔱 Types of Shraaddha (as described by Krishna Kripa Dasa)
10–12 days after death
Monthly (Maasik Shraaddha) – for the first year
Annual Shraaddha (Barsi) – every year on death tithi
Pitru Paksha Shraaddha – during the fortnight of Bhadrapada Purnima to Ashwin Amavasya
📖 Scriptural Origins – Varaha Lila
Krishna Kripa Dasa narrates how during Varaha Avatar, Lord Varaha’s tusks carried soil which He cast southward, where Pitrus were worshipping. From then, ancestors desired offerings as pindas in the south. His hair produced kusha grass, and His sweat became black sesame seeds (til) – sacred items used in Pinda Daan.
🌸 Who Are the Pitru Devtas?
Pitru Pati – Yamaraj, Soma, Kavya devata
Pitra Gana – sons of Saptarishis, subtle agents delivering offerings
Chira Pitru – assistants in the process
⚠️ Rules of Shraaddha (shared by Krishna Kripa Dasa)
Must be performed in afternoon (Kutapa Kaal)
White dress only, after fasting till noon
Cooking by performer or wife
No anger or quarrels allowed
Wrong environment = Pitru devtas leave, Shraaddha fails
🌼 Simple Shraaddha Method (recommended by Krishna Kripa Dasa)
Serve cows (Gau Seva) 🐄
Feed Brahmana Vaishnavas (Sadhu Bhojan) 🙏
Read Bhagavad Gita 📖
Chant Hare Krishna Mahamantra
🌺 Beyond Rituals: Bhakti is Supreme
Finally, Krishna Kripa Dasa emphasizes: If one fully surrenders to Lord Krishna, all debts are cleared — including those to forefathers (na kinkaro nayam rini ca rajan). Pure devotion automatically liberates entire generations, just like Lord Nrisimha assured Prahlad.
Thus, while Shraaddha is important, the highest duty is Bhakti. By becoming a devotee, one delivers both oneself and one’s ancestors.
