Date: September 10, 2025
On this third day of Pitru Paksha, known as Tritiya Shraddha, we honor the departed souls who passed away on the third tithi (lunar day) of the waning moon. But this day carries far more than a date—it carries a deep energetic purpose:
🕊️ To bring peace to those whose lives were cut short or ended in unnatural ways.
💼 To unlock ancestral blessings for prosperity, success, and dharmic growth.
🕯️ Who is Honored on Tritiya Shraddha?
- Ancestors who died on Tritiya Tithi
- Those who experienced sudden, accidental, or violent deaths
- Departed souls with unfinished business or lingering karmas
- Anyone whose death was considered inauspicious or unsettling
This is a day to calm wandering spirits, send light to unresolved energies, and begin to clear ancestral patterns that may show up as:
- Repeating professional blocks
- Financial instability
- Insecurity or lack of direction
- Unexplained karmic weight in families
🌿 Why This Day Is Important
When someone dies suddenly, the soul may not cross over peacefully. The shock, trauma, or unfulfilled desires can create energetic echoes that ripple into the lives of descendants.
By honoring these ancestors, you:
- Help them find peace
- Clear karmic residues from your family line
- Open the path to dharmic prosperity and stability
Tritiya Shraddha is not just about grief — it’s about healing and releasing.
🔥 Rituals You Can Do Today
- Tarpana: Offer water mixed with black sesame and kusa grass while chanting mantras.
- Pinda Daan: Make rice balls (pinda) with til and offer them on banana leaves.
- Light a Diya: Especially at the home or temple altar, facing South (direction of ancestors).
- Feed in Honor: Offer food to birds, cows, dogs, or a needy person—especially those with disability or injury.
- Say Their Name: Speak the names of those you remember and bless those you don’t.
💰 Blessings of Tritiya Shraddha
✨ Success in business & finances
✨ Clear career path
✨ Removal of karmic blockages
✨ Peace for restless souls
If your family has experienced sudden losses or unexplained struggles with wealth and direction—this is the day to offer.
🧘 Spiritual Practice
- Chant:
“Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya”
or
“Om Ram Ramaya Namah” - Meditate on the third chakra (Manipura) — the seat of willpower and direction.
- Visualize your ancestral line blessing you from above, as you send them peace and light in return.
✨ In Remembering, You Are Remembered
Tritiya Shraddha is a chance to say:
“I see you. I honor your life. I release what no longer serves.”
This day is a sacred bridge between the visible and the invisible, the past and the future. As you make your offerings, know that you are not only healing your ancestors—you are liberating yourself.
