Steps To Do Tarpan

1. Get a copper vessel (Lota) and fill half of it with Ganga Jal (if not available, take regular water).
2. Fill the vessel with milk (unprocessed, raw) and add 2 spoons of black sesame in it.
3. Put some Kusha sticks into the water of the vessel.
4. Take a steel vessel (Lota) now and place it in front of you.
5. Stand facing towards south direction.
6. Pour the liquid of copper vessel into steel vessel slowly while holding the Kusha sticks, so that they don’t fall down.
7. While you are pouring the liquid, chant the below given Mantra:

ॐ पितृ गणाय विद्महे जगत धारिण्ये धीमहि तन्नो पितरो प्रचोदयात्


8. The last step is to offer food. Details are given below.

Food Offerings

Feeding someone with pure heart and soul is the true form of charity performed on Sarva Pitra Amavasya. Tarpan process gets completed after offering food to someone who needs it or to saints. Traditionally, the food is also offered to cow, crow, ants, fire, and dog. The blessings of those who you feed help your ancestors get salvation.

• Get Release From Sins
• Connect With The Departed Souls

Beliefs Behind Mahalaya Amavasya

Hindus believe in life after death and perform Shradh Vidhi to ensure that the soul of their previous generations go to heaven. As per the beliefs, the reason behind the problems people face in day-to-day life, even without doing anything wrong, is because their ancestors do not get peace or salvation. Pinda Daan is performed to help the souls of our departed ancestors get bliss.

If the Shradh is done properly, we can actually reconnect with our 64 generations of ancestors who help us nullify the deadly effects of inflicted planets that stop the positive effect of favoring ones.

May you get a life full of happiness by the grace of God!
