What is Pitra Paksh?

These Yagyas are not meant to be performed at home. They are conducted in specially prepared kunds within a Yagyashala, where offerings are made to your ancestors through Agni.

The Yagyas will be performed in an authentic Vedic Yagyashala at Dhyan Ashram with Yagya Kunds designed as per dimensions and designs mentioned in the shastras.

Mentions in our scriptures

What the Garuda Purana says about the ancestors - their displeasure, their hunger and their blessings.

यदि त्वया प्रदत्ता गौस्तदा नौरुपसर्पति। नान्यथेति वचस्तेषां श्रुत्वा ह दैव भाषते॥
If you have made the gift of a cow, then the boat will come to you, otherwise not. Having heard their words, 'Oh heavens,' he exclaims
गोभ्यो श्वभ्यश्च काकेभ्यो देवेभ्यश्च पिपीलिकाः। अन्नं संविभजेत् प्राज्ञः पञ्चबलिं प्रकल्पयेत्॥
Garuda Purana, Acara Khanda, Chapter 20. A wise person must split food into five portions (Pancha Bali): for the cows, the dogs, the crows, the devas, and the ants and insects.
नमस्येऽहं पितॄन् मर्त्यैरर्च्यन्ते भुवि ये सदा। श्राद्धेषु श्रद्धयाभीष्टलोकपुष्टिप्रदायिनः॥
Garuda Purana, Ruchi-krta Pitru Stotram. I salute those ancestors who are continuously worshipped on Earth by mortals. When offered water and food with deep faith (Shraddha), they grant the fulfillment of all worldly desires and nourish the growth of the entire family lineage.
