In PLR (Past Life Regression), the client is helped to touch the core of their being and come to terms with their childhood, past, and past lives too! And, in Pitru Dosh pooja, the purohit or pundit performs the rituals that are necessary to appease the forefathers.

Trimbakeshwar, is one of those pious places, where such poojas are performed.  This particular pooja can be performed only by purohits known as "Tamrapatradhari Purohits” (ancient copper in scripture) as only they are authorized to perform pooja at Shiva Temple. Various poojas such as Kaal Sarp yoga, Kumbh vivah, Rudrabhishek are done only by these Purohits.

Tripindi Shradha puja is Pind daan; the rituals performed for the departed.

As I don’t have any connection with my grandparents, or any great aunts, uncles; this pooja and its relevance never crossed my mind.

I am yet to see a life which is devoid of any troubles or challenges, so why this pooja is so crucial, I don’t really understand. We do it out of love and respect for our dear ones, is what I believe.  The very thought that our forefathers, whose DNA we share, are likely harm us or caste a curse on their own progeny is hard for me to swallow.

We did perform the pooja, and my sole thought was, whatever happened in their life(ves), I don’t know. But wherever they are, let them be happy and at peace, at this moment in time and always.
