Many times people reach out to me for guidance with a statement that everything that they do fails and they are not able to succeed in any part of their lives. Many of them also have close family members dying one after the other in quick succession. This is commonly due to Pitra Dosh.

What is Pitra Dosh
Pitra Dosh is probably one of the worst planetary conditions that you can have in your chart. Pitra Dosh means that your departed ancestors (either from the Mother’s side or the Father’s side or both) either:-
- Died with an unfulfilled wish
- Were murdered
- Performed some very serious sins
- Are not happy with you
Since they are unhappy, these ancestral spirits add negative vibrations to your life and are detrimental for all aspects of your life. The only saving grace is that Pitra Dosh targets one person of the family at a time and generally does not get activated immediately.
What causes Pitra Dosh
Pitra Dosh can be determined by looking at one’s chart and observing the situation of Sun and Moon. If Sun is with Rahu this indicates Pitra Dosh from the Father’s side. On the other hand, if Moon is with Ketu, this indicates Pitra Dosh from the Mother’s side. These are 2 powerful varieties of Pitra Dosh. We also have Sun with Ketu or Moon with Rahu as weaker varieties of Pitra Dosh.
What does Pitra Dosh do
Today, Pitra Dosh can lead to all sorts of problems, such as:-
- Sudden and painful deaths
- Sudden job loss
- Huge financial losses
- Problems in job / profession / business
- Marital problems
- Problems in begetting progeny
The exact problems can be ascertained after an analysis of your chart but the examples above clearly illustrate the severity of the problems that Pitra Dosh can cause in your life.
Remedies for Pitra Dosh
Considering the seriousness of the issue, the following are some remedies which have shown proven results in helping solve the problem of Pitra Dosh.
Pitra Shanti Pooja
When we talk about Pitra Dosh, the most guaranteed solution for Pitra Dosh is to perform a Pitra Shanti Pooja at Tryambakeshwar Mahadev Temple near Nashik, India or Gaya in Bihar, India once in every 5 years. The ritual is a guaranteed way to eliminate the issues arising due to Pitra Dosh.
Alternately, if you are not able to visit these places and perform the Pooja yourself due to whatever reason, I can also have it performed on your behalf at very reasonable rates. You can get in touch if you want to discuss further.
Remedies for Sun
If you have Pitra Dosh from the Father’s side of the family, you can perform Remedies for Sun. Out of these, the most potent is the Aditya Hriday Stotram. You can recite it daily for a year or at least every Sunday. You can also listen to it as a song. It is available on YouTube by singer Vijay Prakash.

Remedies for Moon
If you have Pitra Dosh from the Mother’s side of the family, you can perform Remedies for Moon. Out of these, worshipping Lord Shiva yields best results. Simply chanting “Om Namah Shivay” 100000 times has also been highly beneficial for people suffering from Pitra Dosh in general and especially for Pitra Dosh from the Mother’s side.

Remedies for Rahu
If you have Pitra Dosh from the Father’s side, performing remedies for Rahu along with Remedies for Sun will give benefits faster. This is because Rahu represents your paternal grand father in Astrology and therefore Rahu’s position is a reflection of your grand father’s situation.

Remedies for Ketu
If you have Pitra Dosh from the Mother’s side, performing remedies for Ketu will further help solve the problem. This is because Ketu represents your maternal grand mother in Astrology and therefore Ketu’s position is a reflection of her situation.

Mantra for Pitra Dosh
You can chant the following mantra to help reduce the negative effects of Pitra Dosh:-
Om Shreem Sarva Pitra Dosha Nivaranay Klesham Han Han Sukh Shantim Dehi Phat Swaha
The mantra needs to be chanted at least 108 times daily but chanting more times a day will give faster results.
Yantra for Pitra Dosh
The use of a Yantra is probably one of the easiest ways to solve problems. The same is true for Pitra Dosh as well. You can buy the Pitra Dosh Nivaran Yantra at very reasonable rates and keep it in your home to help reduce the negative impact of Pitra Dosh in your family.
Finally, please remember that not every problem can be a result of Pitra Dosh. We can have other reasons as well. The best way to find out is to have an analysis of your chart.
