Significance of Shraadh [Hindi with English CC]

Sri Krishna says to Arjuna that there is an element in the body that never gets destroyed. According to a sutra in Nyaya shastra, the quality of the seed is determined by the quality of the tree and the quality of the tree is determined by how good the quality of the seed is. Your pitra (ancestors) are inside you. You are made of the pitras. You are the seed of their tree. According to yogic viewpoint, when you are offering to the ancestors you are being grateful to them for your existence. The meaning of Shraadh is shradha (trust, faith, acceptance). When you accept yourself with shradha, you are offering it to the pitras.

Some part of your life should be dedicated to heal yourself. With Shraadh, you are purifying yourself. It is an acknowledgment that even though I am tied to my ego, my thoughts, my vikara and my karma, the truth is my existence is also due to somebody else. There is God but I am also born by the blood of my pitras.

Listen to this discourse by Om Swami and understand the deep meaning of performing Shraadh.
