We love our near and dear ones, especially our elders. While we take care of them by providing for all their needs in this life, it is our duty to take care of their well-being in the afterlife too. Among all the rituals that have been told in Sanatan Hindu Dharma, Shraddha is one of the most important rituals. The ritual of Shraddha is to ensure the wellbeing of our departed ancestors (Pitars / Pitrus). During the period of Mahalay Paksha (fortnight of the departed ancestors), 18 types of ancestors descend to the Earth. By performing Shraddha in this period (from Bhadrapad Krishna Paksha Pratipada to Bhadrapad Amavasya), the departed ancestors remain satisfied for a whole year.

We present this app with the hope that all your How's and Why's of performing Shraddha, the importance of Mahalay Shraddha (Pitru Paksh) will be answered.

In this app, we are sharing invaluable information on

- The importance of Shraddha

- The significance of the Pitru Paksha / fortnight of the ancestors

- The need to perform Shraddha for all departed ancestors

- FAQs on Shraddha

Apart from this, you can also access videos on how to perform Shraddha during Pitru Paksha, as well as the spiritual science behind the various actions of Shraddha.

It is beneficial to us as well as our departed ancestors to chant the name of Shri Datta Guru during this period. To help you achieve concentration and chant easily, we have included a chant of Shri Datta Guru in the app too !

We hope that you find this app beneficial. If so, we only request you to share it with your family and friends so that everyone benefits from the knowledge and utilises this Pitru Paksha to help the departed ancestors attain Sadgati!
