Significance of Mahalaya Amavasya

​The last day of the Pitru Paksha is called as the Mahalaya Amavasya. It is also called as the Sarva Pitru Amavasya. 

During the entire phase of the Pitru Paksha, we should pay homage to all our ancestors. This helps to not only strengthen our connection to them but also allows us to pay off our ancestral karmic debt. After all, who we are is greatly determined by our ancestry and our genetics.

Typically, in the Hindu culture, a special prayer called shraddha is performed each year on death anniversary of a person. But there are times when the actual death date may not be known. We can perform the Shraddha prayers for all such relatives on this day. 

​
This is the reason why Mahalaya Amavasya Shraddha is also known as Sarvapitra (all ancestors) Moksha (liberation) Amavasya.
Key prayers for Mahalaya Amavasya include performing Tarpana to the Devas (beneficial forces of this Universe), Rishis (our Gurus and Teachers) and our Pitris.

Offering food to our Pitris (our ancestors) and learned people such as the Brahmin-priests, conducting charity and donations along with performing a complete Shraddha ceremony for our Pitris.

Thanking our ancestors and obtaining their blessings, not only reduces our ancestral karmic debt (our pitru roon) but also helps to remove challenging obstacles in our life (caused from karmic debts) and thus smoothen our life-path. 

Wish you all a very blessed Mahalaya Amavasya…

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
