This Pitru Paksha, offer Annadana and Gau Seva as a part of Shradh Puja to your ancestors.

Pitru Paksha is a sixteen-day period when people pay homage and pray for the salvation of their departed ancestors. Vedic rituals are performed during this period to invoke Lord Krishna’s blessings on them.

What can you offer to your forefathers during Pitru Paksha?

On the occasion of Pitru Paksha, people offer special prayers or Shradh and donate liberally to charity in honour of their forefathers. The shastras recommend that Sadhus and Vaishnavas should be offered Annadana on this auspicious day. It is also beneficial to contribute towards Gau Seva during Pitru Paksha.

By such performance of Shraddha during Pitru Paksha, you can help your ancestors move towards higher destinations. Your families will also be blessed with good health, peace and prosperity by the mercy of the Lord.

We invite you to sponsor these sevas at ISKCON Miyapur and obtain the blessings of Lord Krishna, who is known as Mukunda – one who awards liberation from this material existence. You will receive Sri Krishna mahaprasadam from the temple at your home.
