Why doing
Shradh is important?
Shradh is an
important ritual that is performed after the death of a person, especially
among the Hindus. There are many reasons because of which Shradh is
performed. Here are some of the most
important reasons for performing the Shradh.
1. It helps
the departed soul to move ahead: It is
believed that even when a person dies, the soul exists and it can see and hear
everything. So since the soul is
attached to the body and to everyone that was once a part of its life, it wants
to be around. According to the religious
texts, it is imperative that the soul comes out of the attachment and realizes
that it is time to move forward as their ties with this world and this body has
been severed due to death. So it takes
some time for the soul to realize that and when the ritual of Shradh is done
the soul accepts the fact of the death and moves on.
2. To receive the blessings of the departed
soul: According to Garura Purana, our
ancestors feel very satisfied when we perform the Shradh ritual. When our ancestors feel satisfied they bless
us with long life, children, fame, heaven, power, and all kinds of
abundance. This helps the soul as well
as the family that is left behind on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual
level.
3. Way of expressing gratitude: The fact is that our physical existence is
because of the existence of our ancestors.
Had our parents and their parents had not met and given birth, we
wouldn’t be existing today. So
performing Shradh is a way of expressing gratitude to our ancestors who have
passed. It is believed that when we
perform the Shradh our ancestors feel satisfied and progress in the other
realms of existence. And when they feel
satisfied and progress we also progress in this world.
According
to “Brahma Purana” if one does Shradh with faith and devotion then they get all
the blessings and become free from all suffering.
