The day before Deepavali.
Dhanteras is a combination of two words. 'Dhan' denotes wealth, and 'Teras' denotes the thirteenth day of Krishna Paksha. On this day, Goddess
I lit 13 lamps in front of Lakshmi , Ganesha photo. Offered neivedyam and water.
Recited Lalitha Sahasranamam, bhagya sukatam and sang songs on ambal .
Out side the house ,I lit 4 lamps facing south for Lord Yama . It's called Yama deepam.
Also listened to Dhanavantri stothram and kubera stuthi.
Today, 11th October 2023, sarav and shakthi Offered Thidhi for their father in Amma Mandapam, Srirangam . Also sarav mentioned my Dad and mom name .
Today is not the Thidhi for my FIL. But these 16 days from Oct 4 to Oct 14 is considered as good time and pitru paksha kalam to offer Thidhi for ancestors
When you keep doing the shraddam rituals for our ancestors, it will not only remove doshas and keep our future generation prosperous but most importantly it will also heal our entire ancestral line.
When you offer Shradham , you become an important point contact ,
to remove all the ancestral curses of the ancestral line.
Those who are dead and gone will be going forward in their spiritual growth ,their blockages will be removed . They will be reborn into a good environment and will lead a prosperous life or will attain moksha.
Their blessings and happiness will make us and our future generation prosperous
Its everyone's duty to do this.
In fact it is a very important duty.
Also when one die , they would not like to come back to you and they would expect not to have any blockages in their soul path.
So when we think or cry about them , we are actually holding them back ,and they will not appreciate it . They need to get detached from this bond. And this shradam is important for them to break this bondage and move on without guilt, or any kind of attachment.
This sharaddam is performed for 3 generations of Pitru.
It is believed that all the sins committed by the deceased ancestors are removed through this Shradh
Reading texts such as Garuda Purana, Agni Purana, etc. are considered to be very auspicious during Pitru Paksha Shradh.

A handy karima podi that I use for Ammavasai and Shradham cooking makes cooking a breeze .
