What to do during Shradh Paksh ?

What is Shradh Paks? What to do during Shradh Paksh? How can we avoid Pitr-Dosh? Before getting the answers if these questions we should know from where does the  demonic tendency originate ....

 When young people do not engage themselves in the service of their parents and only look for their own comforts ,  then  demonic tendencies originate among them . 

 The parents do not even get the necessities of subsistence and the young couple go to the cinema for their entertainment .  Parents are not well &  don't get their drugs, medicines properly and young couples  enjoy fruit-cream - this happens only because of their demonic instinct .

 How can anyone say auspicious words for such a young couple ?  How can anyone bless them?   The person who helps his parents in living happily gets blessings.   People admire him too.  The food given to the gods is called "Havya" and the food given to the ancestors is called "Kavya".  The couple who eat their meal after feeding their aged parents and keep them happy and have faith in them, are praiseworthy.  Yagya is the altar of the earth and in spirituality this body is the altar.  This body should be kept engaged in auspicious deeds , this is the way of  true progress.  We should be humble towards our parents and always try to make their condition better, only then we will be admired among the people.  At the time of Pitru Paksha, we should take a vow to serve our ancestors i.e. parents & grandparents.  It is useless to serve them after their death which we do  in the form of Shradh.  Therefore, we should serve the elders with reverence so that we keep moving on the path of progress in the right direction. 

Those  young couples who do not serve their parents & elders well, suffer from Pitr - Dosh. The only way to avoid Pitr -Dosh is to respect the parents, respect  elders. Apart from this, no other remedy can free one from Pitra Dosh.   Young couples who are not of demonic nature, pray to their parents to guide them on the right path. 

They also pray to them to live  happily at their home.  Further they asked," What is the need of being a Vanaprasthi for the five senses that can be controlled even while staying at home.  By putting all the troubles of the house on our shoulders, you can make your life happy .  You can also enjoy the fun of Lord's Bhajan staying at home only.   And while staying here, you keep showering on us the education of knowledge from time to time.  Even before you, ancestors have been  living  happily at home and they have showered the teachings of gross and subtle learning and religion in due course of time.  Please bless us to fill our children with  the education of Dharma .  We are not praying to you for any unusual thing, we want only your guidance , with your knowledge and teachings, our path will be enlightened  . So  dear mother and father! I request you to stay at home ."  Only gentle, loving & caring young couples  can pray like this . 

  We need to criticise ourselves  for the same . We must follow these teachings for the betterment . 

Think about it and get the real meaning of Shradh Paksh.
