Shraddha is a Hindu ritual performed to honor and pay respect to deceased ancestors, typically involving offerings of food, water, and prayers. It is believed to ensure the well-being of the departed souls and facilitate their journey in the afterlife. The practice emphasizes the importance of gratitude and remembrance of one's lineage, reflecting the cultural value placed on familial bonds and ancestral heritage. Shraddha is commonly observed during specific periods, such as the Pitru Paksha, when families perform these rites collectively.

India does not traditionally observe the Day of the Dead as it is celebrated in Mexico. However, many Indian communities honor their deceased loved ones during festivals like Pitru Paksha, a period dedicated to ancestral remembrance and offerings. Families perform rituals, offer food, and pray for the peace of the souls of their ancestors. This reflects a deep cultural respect for lineage and the afterlife in Indian traditions.
Latin and Greek. The languages such as Sanskrit form the basis vast ocean of wisdom and knowledge in Ayurveda, Siddha and Yoga, besides several other systems of healing. The Upanishada and Veda literature viz. scriptures of Sanatan Dharm called Hindu Dharma today; contain information, explanations and instructions conducive to holistic health on every aspect of life. It is in the best interest of everyone that one heeds the presence of; and respectfully studies this wisdm. Many words in Snaskrit can be shown to be the roots of English words by virtue of their close similarity e.g. Manas = mind Pitru = Pita = paternal= Father Matru = Mata = maternal = Mother Sharkara = sugar One can also consider the languages such Tamil and Chinese which are very old and full of knowldge.
During Pitri Paksha, it's customary to offer water (tarpan) to honor and appease one's ancestors. While performing the ritual, you can recite the "Tarpan Mantra," which includes prayers like "Om Shanti," and invoke the names of your ancestors. Additionally, you may chant the Gayatri Mantra or specific shlokas dedicated to ancestors, such as "Om Pitru Devaya Namah." The emphasis is on expressing gratitude and seeking blessings for their peace and well-being.
Pind Daan in Gaya, Bihar, is a ritual performed by Hindus to offer ancestral prayers and help the souls of departed relatives attain peace. The procedure typically involves traveling to Gaya, performing the ritual at specific sacred sites like the Vishnupad Temple, where offerings (pind) are made. Devotees usually engage a priest to conduct the ceremony, which includes chanting mantras and making offerings of rice balls to the ancestors. It is essential to complete the rituals within a specified time frame, often during the fortnight of Pitru Paksha.

Avidhava Navami is the ninth day of Pitru Paksha when shraddha is offered for a mother who has passed away a sumangali / suhagan, ie., not a widow (A-vidhava). This ritual is to be performed by the son(s) while their father is alive. The ritual consists of performing a shraddha (the exact details of this should be found out from a priest / pandit), and giving offerings / gifts to a sumangali / suhagan. In exceptional circumstances, if a son is unable to perform the ritual, it can be performed by the woman's younger brother-in-law or a nephew. If the son is at a location where he cannot perform the ritual, he may ask one of the above relatives to perform it. The sons must eat only one meal on the day, and give gifts to a sumangali. This must be done even if the ritual cannot be performed.
Most of us usually accept that it is good to be charitable. Because most of us agree that being callous, crude and indifferent to the needs of other people is the lowest stage of development of mind. This stage neither allows us to grow from within and manage any form of stress healthily, nor does it ensure any development of the society. Being kind to others is a higher stage. Kindness to others is actually enriching and fulfilling to self in as much as it benefits many people around us. This is why most of the religions have upheld charity. Indian concept of DHARMA or actually SWADHARMA goes beyond the concept of charity or rather evolves and refines the concept of charity. DHARMA is a highly refined and appropriate solution proactively allocated duty to different individuals; at different stages of life; according different personal and social relationships, different seasons and different auspicious days! DHARMA is not a matter of individual's feelings, fancies, idiosyncrasies, whims or choice but it is inseparable from an individual's life; as a matter of fulfilling various responsibilities and obligations. These obligations or responsibilities are somewhat akin to loans or debts called RUNA. Thus there are PITRU RUNA (debt of father), MATRU RUNA (debt of mother), and SAMAJ RUNA (debt of society) etc. Naturally there is a concept of "repaying these loans". This repayment of loans or fulfillment of social obligations is called DHARMA. Thus there is PUTRA DHARMA (the sacred obligations of a son), MATRU DHARMA (sacred obligations of a mother), PITRU DHARMA (sacred obligation of a father), RAJA DHARMA (sacred obligation or responsibilities of a king) etc. This concept of obligations and their fulfillment used to be prevalent in the different stages of life such as student stage (BRAHMACHARYASHRAMA), married family person's stage (GRUHASTHASHRAMA), retired stage (VANAPRASTHASHRAMA) and stage of renouncement or renunciation (SANYASASRHAMA) and were referred to as ASHRAMAS. Thus a student is expected to observe celibacy and study. This is obviously a wise thing if one considers the menace of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases and the problems of unmarried mothers. The GRUHASTHA or family person had the sacred duty of offering hospitality to a guest (ATITHI) and hence it was said that ATITHI DEVO BHAVA which means a guest is to be treated like God. The stage of retired life and the stage of renunciation were also characterized by consultative sacred duties. The importance the concept of DHARMA is that it does not give rise inflation of condescending attitude and ego on the one hand and destruction of self esteem and humiliation on the other; as it usually does in case of charity. The concept of DHARMA is akin to the role a cell in maintenance of internal environment i. e. homeostasis. Thus just as a cell participates in homeostasis in subservience to health of an organism, similarly an individual participates in social homeostasis in subservience to the health of the society. Since the fabric of the Indian society has changed almost completely the revival of the old concept exactly in the same form does not seem possible and feasible. But at the same time it is possible to extract the essence of the concept of DHARMA and practice it. Thus the saints say that it is possible by practice of Namasmaran to develop global perspective, global thinking, global policies and globally beneficial administration and implementation. This is very important and urgent because; charity in itself; being a crude; though egalitarian and commendable response; does not reach and act on the roots of the social and political evils in the form of perspectives, policies, plans, administrative machinery, laws, rules, conventions etc., which if neglected or deliberately concealed, keep on nurturing the evils unabatedly. Moreover; charity is not sufficient or in fact proves to be counterproductive in terms of emotional black mailing and cheating, tax evasion and vested interests of political and economic nature by harboring and empowering the social evils responsible for a variety of social maladies. This is why charity even if it is sincere; can not give emotional gratification to discerning individuals, who find themselves suffocated in absence of charity and cheated by practicing charity! This scenario of failure of "charity" in every way is evident in the queues in front of public hospitals, many restaurants, temples etc in India. At one stage of the development of society these signs of diseased (exploited) society; could have been inevitable. Charity in those times could have been the only way or solution; for individual gratification and social relief. But today, by understanding our DHARMA i.e. SWADHARMA, and practicing its essence through Namasmaran or any other method, we can rectify our cognition, affect and conation. This can be explained by taking examples. By practicing NAMASMARAN, a doctor would work for the advent of holistic medicine, a lawyer for laws for holistic education, an educationist for the development of holistic education (which nurtures cognitive, affective, psychomotor and productive domain of a child) and so on, in terms of policy making, planning and implementation and can effectively manage the most important, vital and burning problems such as child labor, begging, slums, pavement dwelling, diseases, pollution etc.
