Shradh | Pitr Paksha Shradh

I was having a long chat with my friend on this period which we all know as “Shradh “ yesterday . A period when no good deeds are done and it’s said that any good act wont yield any result .

This is what I have got from the net on the purpose and reason for this period :

“The shradh fortnight is the period when the 'pitra' ancestors from previous lifetimes are able to approach the earth planet and their descendants. The pitras approach the earth once a year during shradh through Lord Ganesha's grace to get relief from their sufferings. They feed on the willing offerings made to them by descendants--or by forcefully taking good fortune energies from their unwilling or ignorant descendants. Clearly it is in the interest of the descendants to help them, and so help themselves”

I have complete faith on my divine and so other than that , nothing excites me . When he has created everything with the same divine touch , how come a period in a year cannot be auspicious  .

Moreover this period is talking about soul …. Journey of a soul , which includes darkness and enlighten of it can happen only if its in a body . when it’s a soul , it’s part of divine and so all these religious preaching are just gimmicks created by the Pandits .

Its same as we try to do “Pran Prathistha” once a divine idol is set up in a temple . Its such a irony  ….. humans instigating Pran to divine .
