Astrology and Spirituality: What is the Significance of Sarvapitri Amavasya and how and why to perform various rituals for Soul Liberation. By Acharya Anuj Jain

Do you feel that you are the chosen one to suffer? Are there successive failures in your life? Are you prone to last minute ditches, impediments and delays? Do you have some hereditary disease or any traumatic life event similar to your forefathers? Do you have allergies to grains, skin allergies and abnormal eye sight disease? Do you feel that you are not living your soul purpose? Then there are chances that one of the reason behind your problem lies in your horoscope or stars. Have you ever heard about PITRA Dosha ( A kind of malefic combination or yoga in astrology which signifies ancestral debts, Karmic issues etc)? It is generally formed when the mighty Sun is ill placed with respect to Ascendant and Moon. Also when they are opposing or neglecting the ninth house or the house of past influences. Other planet jupiter also has the tendencies to act malefic and pass on the karmic results of family, forefathers or soul group from generation to generation. Well, leaving all technical astrological permutation and combination to astrologers, let us start knowing something about the bigger picture behind these issues. According to new age spiritualism we all are the part of source energy...one energy. We all are light beings... rather a speck of light. We are spiritual beings having human experience. We have come here to evolve. Neither we are new to Earth nor our friends and family is. We mutually have incarnated many times before, only have changed our roles and have facilitated each other in their journey. Our journey of evolution has started from mineral kingdom. Then we slowly move to plants, then animals and now living as humans. Our next level is more vibrant state known as Deva Kingdom. There are seven levels of soul evolution. Infant soul, Baby soul, young soul, mature soul, old soul, transience soul and infinite soul. During this process we regain our light and vibrations back. In this journey whenever the light is blocked or become opaque these types of issues comes to life. The purpose of these issues are to clear the spectrum once again to transparent. There are twelve types of soul issues which are connected with our source, origin, soul group or forefather.. 1. Physical 2. Economical 3. Relationships 4. Comforts and Security 5. Creativity 6. Disease 7. Life issues and Life Partners 8. Death 9. Faith, Religion 10. Work or Karma 11. Gains and desires 12. Input, expenditure, Investments If there is any issue left from these then the next generation, the next wave length has to deal and relinquish their duty on their behalf. It is not that one has to pay for the sins of his forefathers but one has chosen before birth to act as a catalyst for further evolution of soul group. Since they now no longer possess physical body and a Karma is left, they choose us and we also agree to it and perform their residual karma willingly with their help, power, guidance and direction. These issues bother us because we have forgotten our old ties and commitments at the soul level and now find no reason to suffer, whereas sufferings are mere indicators to make us evolve, reliquish our soul group responsibility and facilitate our soul group journey. Among many ways to relinquish our debts and duties of the soul family, Hindu mythology and religion has laid down certain norms to be observed in Pitra Paksha. Sarvapitri Amavasya also known as Mahalaya is a significant day in Hindu mythology and tradition which comes in Bhadrapad of Hindu calendar. On this day various rituals are performed to please the ancestors, prayers are done for their liberation and to receive blessings from them. Various forms of rituals, fasts are observed, prayers, Yagya, Homam are performed, Charities are given and fore fathers are recalled. Here the sun has almost covered 180 degrees, in the midway and is New moon and the begining of cold Shardiya season. Various religions, cults and sects have used this alignment of earth and sun to appease their departed ones and maintaing their astral connections. This is the time where there is a direct link with the departed soul or our loved ones. Apart from traditional remedies laid down by ancient saints and seers, we can align with our higher self spiritually also. We can release their earthly ties and facilitate their journey into light. Here are few tips to resolve group karma. 1. Meditate, Meditate, Meditate. 2. Perform family constellation rituals among friends and family members. 3. Use the powers of Gold which represents soul from mineral kingdom, grains representations from plant kingdom and lion as power animal from animal kingdom. 4. Shamanic techniques to release soul dirt and joining fragments of soul. This process is called soul retrieval. 5. Astral travelling is much easier these days. Use them to find soul purpose. Pitra Dosha is a soul group work to be performed by the souls who have left the body, have gone to the other side and still performed by those souls who are still in body. It is not a burden or a sin of the forefathers. We have chosen this bonding of progression or evolution much before this life and thus playing our role. We are not alone or new. We are properly guided and protected by our soul family.
