Pitru Paksha 2025: Pitru Paksha has started; people are performing Shradh, Tarpan, Pinddaan for the peace of the soul of their dead relatives. But do you know that the journey of the dead soul to reach Pitra Lok is not easy, the reason behind this is told in Garuda Purana.

Garuda Purana: Garuda Purana tells many interesting aspects related to birth, death, the journey of the soul. It also tells about the various yonis of the soul. At this time, Pitru Paksha is going on and people are performing Pitru Karma like Shraddha, Tarpan, Pinddaan etc. for the peace of the soul of their ancestors, to open the path of salvation for them. It is believed that in the 15 days of Pitru Paksha, the souls of the ancestors come from Pitru Lok to Mrityu Lok i.e. Earth and bless the family. Today we know an interesting thing related to the yonis of souls, which has been described in Garuda Purana.

Not only ancestral souls but also souls go to the ghost world

After the death of a person, when the soul starts its journey ahead, it goes to different yonis. The soul changes yonis even before taking the next birth. The yonis are determined on the basis of its deeds whether it will go to the ghost yonis or the ancestral yonis.

Accounts of deeds

After death, the deeds are accounted for and then the soul gets the respective yoni. If a person does not die a normal death, then his soul is not liberated and goes to the ghost yoni. This usually happens in case of untimely death such as accident, suicide, murder, water burial, untimely death, or death with unfulfilled desires. Apart from this, the souls of those who do very bad deeds while alive, who hurt others, also suffer a lot. Such souls themselves suffer and their family members also suffer from ghost dosha. Pinddaan, Narayan Bali, Tarpan, Mantra Japa (Mahamrityunjaya Mantra) and special worship are done to remove the ghost dosha. This helps the soul to take the next birth or go to the ancestral yoni.
