Pitra Dosha its reasons and Remedies

Karmic astrology says, most of the people are born in the same family lines with same friends and same enemies in so many of their lives until their Karmic debts, duties and rewards are all cleared from that particular group of people or group of Souls.

So, when you ask What is Pitra Dosha ?

It is a Karmic Debt of the ancestors which the person having this Dosha in his/her horoscope is supposed to pay.

It is formed in the horoscope of a person due to bad Karmas or bad deeds done by the Ancestors of that person and this person is supposed to pay that Karmic debt by suffering the punishments decided for those debts in different spheres of his life until the debt is cleared either by punishment or by the good deeds done by the person having Pitra Dosh in his horoscope. Theory of Karmic debt say as we inherit material benefits of our parents and ancestors similarly, the good or bad things earned, owned and owed by the parents or forefathers are passed on to the children of the family.

An Ancestor suitable for the punishment of the Karmic debt of a family according to the bad Karmas done by him in his previous lives, is sent on earth to pay those debts and bear the punishments. And as this person does good or bad deeds in his present life, it contributes to the negative or positive .

2. Bad deeds/bad karma of children, knowingly or unknowingly, embarrassing the soul of ancestors,
3. Lack of fulfillments of parental desires of our ancestors.
4. A sudden and unnatural death of any relative ancestors in early age.
5. If someone fails to remember and honour the ancestors properly.

It occurs if any ancestors up to the 7th generation on the father’s side and up to the 4th generation on the mother’s side have expired at an early age or have had an unnatural death. Curses of forefathers can cause serious health problems which may become so complicated that medical practitioners may fail to diagnose the disease and medicine prescribed may become totally ineffective.
