पितृ-पक्ष

हिंदू धर्म में वैदिक परंपरा के अनुसार अनेक रीति-रिवाज़, व्रत-त्यौहार व परंपराएं मौजूद हैं। हिंदूओं में जातक के गर्भधारण से लेकर मृत्योपरांत तक अनेक प्रकार के संस्कार किये जाते हैं। अंत्येष्टि को अंतिम संस्कार माना जाता है। लेकिन अंत्येष्टि के पश्चात भी कुछ ऐसे कर्म होते हैं जिन्हें मृतक के संबंधी विशेषकर संतान को करना होता है। श्राद्ध कर्म उन्हीं में से एक है। वैसे तो प्रत्येक मास की अमावस्या तिथि को श्राद्ध कर्म किया जा सकता है लेकिन भाद्रपद मास की पूर्णिमा से लेकर आश्विन मास की अमावस्या तक पूरा पखवाड़ा श्राद्ध कर्म करने का विधान है। इसलिये अपने पूर्वज़ों को के प्रति श्रद्धा प्रकट करने के इस पर्व को श्राद्ध कहते हैं।

पितृ पक्ष का महत्व

पौराणिक ग्रंथों में वर्णित किया गया है कि देवपूजा से पहले जातक को अपने पूर्वजों की पूजा करनी चाहिये। पितरों के प्रसन्न होने पर देवता भी प्रसन्न होते हैं। यही कारण है कि भारतीय संस्कृति में जीवित रहते हुए घर के बड़े बुजूर्गों का सम्मान और मृत्योपरांत श्राद्ध कर्म किये जाते हैं। इसके पिछे यह मान्यता भी है कि यदि विधिनुसार पितरों का तर्पण न किया जाये तो उन्हें मुक्ति नहीं मिलती और उनकी आत्मा मृत्युलोक में भटकती रहती है। पितृ पक्ष को मनाने का ज्योतिषीय कारण भी है। ज्योतिषशास्त्र में पितृ दोष काफी अहम माना जाता है। जब जातक सफलता के बिल्कुल नज़दीक पंहुचकर भी सफलता से वंचित होता हो, संतान उत्पत्ति में परेशानियां आ रही हों, धन हानि हो रही हों तो ज्योतिषाचार्य पितृदोष से पीड़ित होने की प्रबल संभावनाएं बताते हैं। इसलिये पितृदोष से मुक्ति के लिये भी पितरों की शांति आवश्यक मानी जाती है।

किस दिन करें पूर्वज़ों का श्राद्ध

वैसे तो प्रत्येक मास की अमावस्या को पितरों की शांति के लिये पिंड दान या श्राद्ध कर्म किये जा सकते हैं लेकिन पितृ पक्ष में श्राद्ध करने का महत्व अधिक माना जाता है। पितृ पक्ष में किस दिन पूर्वज़ों का श्राद्ध करें इसके लिये शास्त्र सम्मत विचार यह है कि जिस पूर्वज़, पितर या परिवार के मृत सदस्य के परलोक गमन की तिथि याद हो तो पितृपक्ष में पड़ने वाली उक्त तिथि को ही उनका श्राद्ध करना चाहिये। यदि देहावसान की तिथि ज्ञात न हो तो आश्विन अमावस्या को श्राद्ध किया जा सकता है इसे सर्वपितृ अमावस्या भी इसलिये कहा जाता है। समय से पहले यानि जिन परिजनों की किसी दुर्घटना अथवा सुसाइड आदि से अकाल मृत्यु हुई हो तो उनका श्राद्ध चतुर्दशी तिथि को किया जाता है। पिता के लिये अष्टमी तो माता के लिये नवमी की तिथि श्राद्ध करने के लिये उपयुक्त मानी जाती है।

कैसे करें श्राद्ध

पहले यम के प्रतीक कौआ, कुत्ते और गाय का अंश निकालें (इसमें भोजन की समस्त सामग्री में से कुछ अंश डालें) फिर किसी पात्र में दूध, जल, तिल और पुष्प लें। कुश और काले तिलों के साथ तीन बार तर्पण करें। ऊं पितृदेवताभ्यो नम: पढ़ते रहें।

बाएं हाथ में जल का पात्र लें और दाएं हाथ के अंगूठे को पृथ्वी की तरफ करते हुए उस पर जल डालते हुए तर्पण करते रहें। वस्त्रादि जो भी आप चाहें पितरों के निमित निकाल कर दान कर सकते हैं।

यदि ये सब न कर सकें तो

दूरदराज में रहने वाले, सामग्री उपलब्ध नहीं होने, तर्पण की व्यवस्था नहीं हो पाने पर एक सरल उपाय के माध्यम से पितरों को तृप्त किया जा सकता है। दक्षिण दिशा की ओर मुंह करके खड़े हो जाइए। अपने दाएं हाथ के अंगूठे को पृथ्वी की ओर करिए। 11 बार पढ़ें..ऊं पितृदेवताभ्यो नम:। ऊं मातृ देवताभ्यो नम: ।

क्या न करें

• तेल और साबुन का प्रयोग न करें ( जिस दिन श्राद्ध हो)
• शेविंग न करें
• जहां तक संभव हो, नए वस्त्र न पहनें
• तामसिक भोजन न करें। तामसिक होने के कारण ही इनको निषिद्ध किया गया है।

यह भी ध्यान रखें

• पुरुष का श्राद्ध पुरुष को, महिला का श्राद्ध महिला को दिया जाना चाहिए
• यदि पंडित उपलब्ध नहीं हैं तो श्राद्ध भोजन मंदिर में या गरीब लोगों को दे सकते हैं
• यदि कोई विषम परिस्थिति न हो तो श्राद्ध को नहीं छोड़ना चाहिए। हमारे पितृ अपनी मृत्यु तिथि को श्राद्ध की अपेक्षा करते हैं। इसलिए यथा संभव उस तिथि को श्राद्ध कर देना चाहिए।
• यदि तिथि याद न हो और किन्हीं कारणों से नहीं कर सकें तो पितृ अमावस्य़ा को अवश्य श्राद्ध कर देना चाहिए।

पितरों की शांति के लिए यह भी करें

एक माला प्रतिदिन ऊं पितृ देवताभ्यो नम: की करें

ऊं नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय नम: का जाप करते रहें

भगवद्गीता या भागवत का पाठ भी कर सकते हैं ।

पितृ दोष प्रबल हो तो यह भी करें उपाय

यदि कुंडली में प्रबल पितृ दोष हो तो पितरों का तर्पण अवश्य करना चाहिए। तर्पण मात्र से ही हमारे पितृ प्रसन्न होते हैं। वे हमारे घरों में आते हैं और हमको आशीर्वाद प्रदान करते हैं। यदि कुंडली में पितृ दोष हो तो इन सोलह दिनों में तीन बार एक उपाय करिए। सोलह बताशे लीजिए। उन पर दही रखिए और पीपल के वृक्ष पर रख आइये। इससे पितृ दोष में राहत मिलेगी। यह उपाय पितृ पक्ष में तीन बार करना है।

Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi or "Vinayak Chaturthi" is one of the major traditional festivals celebrated by the Hindu community. It is observed in the Hindu calendar month of Bhadrapada, starting on the shukla chaturthi (fourth day of the waxing moon period). The festival lasts for 10 days, ending on Ananta Chaturdashi, and is traditionally celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha.

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha is the son of Shiva (The God of Destruction in the Hindu Holy Trinity of Creator-Preserver-Destroyer) and Parvati (Shiva’s consort). The cutest and most lovable Indian God, Ganesha or Ganpati has the head of an elephant on which rests an elegant tiara, four podgy hands joined to a sizeable belly with each hand holding its own symbolic object - a trishul or a trident in one, an ankush or goad (made from his very own broken tooth) in another, a lotus in the third and a rosary (which is sometimes replaced by modaks, his favourite sweet) in the fourth. Revered as the deity of auspiciousness and wisdom, Lord Ganesha is also famous for being a trickster and for his profound sense of humour.

It is believed that Lord Ganesh was born on a fourth day (chaturthi) of the bright fortnight of the Hindu lunar month of Magh. Since then, an association between Ganesh and chaturthi has been established. Thus the festival dedicated to the worship of Lord Ganesha on this chaturthi day is named as Ganesh Chaturthi.

There is a curiously interesting tale about the birth of Ganesha. It is believed that once while Parvati was bathing, she created a human figure from some unguent and balm, gave him life and asked him to guard the door while she bathed. After a long period of meditation on Mountain Kailash (Lord Shiva’s abode), Shiva chose that very moment to drop by to see his better half, but was abruptly stopped by the man-god Parvati had posted at the door. Outraged by the cheek of this stranger, Shiva cut off his head only to discover moments later that he had killed Parvati’s son! For fear of enraging his wife, Shiva immediately dispatched his ganas (attendants) to get him the head of the first living creature they could find. Well, the first living creature happened to be an elephant. As instructed, the head was chopped off and brought back to Shiva, who placed it on Parvati’s son’s body, bringing him back to life. This elephant-headed god was welcomed into the first family of the Hindu heavens and named Ganesha or Ganapati, which literally means the chief of the ganas, or the attendants of Shiva. Ganesha is the foremost god of the Hindu pantheon. This brave guardian of the door to Parvati’s bath is beheld today as the most auspicious God of new beginnings. He is worshipped during every festival and before people undertake a journey or embark upon a new venture. You will also see him carefully guarding entrances to temples and homes, peeping out of calendars and happily gracing marriages and other such occasions.

It is not known when and how Ganesh Chaturthi was first celebrated. But according to the historian Shri Rajwade, the earliest Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations can be traced back to the times of the reigns of dynasties as Satavahana, Rashtrakuta and Chalukya. Historical records reveal that Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations were initiated in Maharashtra by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaja, the great Maratha ruler, to promote culture and nationalism. And it had continued ever since. There are also references in history to similar celebrations during Peshwa times. It is believed that Lord Ganapati was the family deity of the Peshwas. After the end of Peshwa rule, Ganesh Chaturthi remained a family affair in Maharashtra from the period of 1818 to 1892.

1857 was a landmark year for India and moreso in the context of Indian freedom. It was the year of Sepoy Mutiny, an armed rebellion against the ruling British Empire by the Indian soldiers. This was the first war that India waged to gain back her independence from her white rulers. Though unsuccesful, this battle marked the beginning of the Indian struggle for independence. Many orators, leaders and freedom fighters all over India teamed to put up a united resistance to the British domination. One of these eminent leaders was Bal Gangadhar Tilak, an Indian nationalist, social reformer and freedom fighter. Greatly esteemed by the Indian people, especially of Maharashtra, Tilak was commonly referred to as "Lokmanya" or "he who is regarded by the people". It was Tilak, who brought back the tradition of Ganesh Chaturthi and reshaped the annual Ganesh festival from private family celebrations into a grand public event.

Lokamanya saw how Lord Ganesha was worshipped by the upper stratum as well as the rank and file of India. The visionary that he was, Tilak realized the cultural importance of this deity and popularised Ganesha Chaturthi as a National Festival "to bridge the gap between the Brahmins and the non-Brahmins and find an appropriate context in which to build a new grassroots unity between them" in his nationalistic strivings against the British in Maharashtra. He knew that India couldn't fight her rulers until she solved the differences within her own. Hence, to unite all social classes Tilak chose Ganesha as a rallying point for Indian protest against British rule because of his wide appeal as "the god for Everyman".

It was around 1893, during the nascent stages of Indian nationalism, that Tilak began to organize the Ganesh Utsav as a social and religious function. He was the first to put in large public images of Ganesha in pavilions and establish the tradition of their immersion on the tenth day. The festival facilitated community participation and involvement in the form of learned discourses, dance dramas, poetry recital, musical concerts, debates, etc. It served as a meeting place for common people of all castes and communities, at a time when all social and political gatherings were forbidden by the British Empire for fear of conspiracies to be hatched against them. An important festival during the Peshwa era, Ganesha Chaturthi acquired at this time a more organized form all over India largely due to Lokmanya's efforts.

Since then, Ganesh Chaturthi has been celebrated throughout Maharashtra as also in other states with great community enthusiasm and participation. With the independence of India in 1947, it was proclaimed to be a national festival.

Today, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated in the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and many other parts of India. The festival is so popular that the preparations begin months in advance. Days before the actual worship, homes are cleaned and marquees erected at street corners to house the idols of the Lord. Elaborate arrangements are made for lighting, decoration, mirrors and flowers. The artisans who make the idols of Ganesh vie with each other to make bigger and better sculptures. The sizes of the relatively larger ones range anywhere from 10 meters to 30 meters in height. These are installed in marquees and in homes prior to the Puja (worship). During the festival days, the Lord is worshipped with great devotion and prayer services are performed daily. The duration of the Lord's stay varies from place to place; once the worship is complete, the statues are carried on decorated floats to be immersed in the sea after one, three, five, seven and ten days. Thousands of processions converge on the beaches to immerse the holy idols in the sea. This procession and immersion is accompanied with dancing and the sound of exciting drum-beats, devotional songs and exploding firecrackers. As the idol is immersed amidst loud chants of "Ganesh Maharaj Ki Jai!" (Hail Lord Ganesh), the festival comes to an end with pleas to the Lord to return the next year with chants of "Ganpati bappa morya, pudcha varshi laukar ya" (Hail Lord Ganesh, return again soon next year). Tourists from all over the world come to witness this wonderful event in the sun kissed beaches of Goa and Mumbai.

While celebrated all over India, Ganesh Chaturthi festivities are most elaborate in states like Maharashtra, Goa (It is the biggest festival for Konkani people all over the world), Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, and other areas which were former states of the Maratha Empire. Outside India, it is celebrated in Nepal by the Newars.


Lord Ganesha is worshipped with all sixteen rituals along with chanting of Puranik Mantras during Ganesha Chaturthi Puja which is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi Puja. Worshipping Gods and Goddesses with all 16 rituals is known as Shodashopachara Puja.

Although Ganesha Puja can be done during Pratahkala, Madhyahnakala and Sayankala but Madhyahnakala is preferred during Ganesha Chaturthi Puja.

If you have Lord Ganesha installed at your home and is worshipped daily then Avahana and Pratishthapan should be skipped as these two rituals are done for newly bought statues of Lord Ganesha either made of clay or made of metal. It should be noted that pre-installed statue of Lord Ganesha at home are not given Visarjan but given Utthapana at the end of Puja.

It is Prohibited for Moon Sighting on Ganesha Chaturthi day. It is believed that no one should sight the moon on Ganesh Chaturthi. Sighting moon on Ganesh Chaturthi creates Mithya Dosham or Mithya Kalank which means a false accusation of stealing something.

Hartalika Teej

Hartalika Teej is seen as a major festival and is celebrated on the third day of the bright half of the North Indian Lunar month of Bhadrapad. In this festival women fast throughout the day and pray Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, remembering their wedding and staying up all night listening to prayers. The fast (also called nishivasar nirjala vrat) commences during the evening of Hartalika Teej and is broken the next day after a full day's observance which involves women not even drinking water. The focus is on praying to Goddess Parvati whom Shiva desired should be worshiped under the name Hartalika.

Hartalika is a combination of "harit" and "aalika" which means "abduction" and "female friend" respectively. According to the legend of Hartalika Teej, Goddess Parvati, incarnated as Goddess Shailaputri, was the daughter of himalaya who promised her hand in marriage to Lord Vishnu, at the suggestion of Narada. Upon hearing this, Goddess Parvati told her friend of her father's decision whereupon the friend took Goddess Parvati to the thick forest so that her father would not marry her to Lord Vishnu against her wish.

On the third day of the bright half of Bhadrapud, Goddess Parvati made a Shiva lingam out of her hair and prayed. Lord Shiva was so impressed that he gave his word to marry Goddess Parvati. Eventually, Goddess Parvati was united with Lord Shiva and was married to him with her father's blessing. Since then, the day is referred to as haritalika teej as Goddess Parvati's female (aalika)friend had to abduct (harit) her in order for the Goddess to achieve her goal of marrying Lord Shiva.

Though the rituals of Hartalika Teej are same as other Teej Vrat. But, some of the differences are as follows:
