Sixth Shraddha Story

Learn the divine story of the Sixth Shraddha, a holy tradition that reinforces the values of gratitude, family duty, and the eternal bond between ancestors and their descendants.

Sixth Shraddha Story in English

According to scriptures, performing Pitru Yagna (rituals for ancestors) is considered essential for all classes and communities. If someone misses performing Shraddha rituals, provisions like Gaya Shraddha are described as alternatives. The scriptures state that honoring ancestors is more important than worshipping deities, so it is necessary to please the ancestors first. The Garuda Purana mentions that performing Shraddha at the right time ensures that no one in the family remains unhappy. During Pitru Paksha, performing Shraddha brings peace to the souls of ancestors and also frees the performer from ancestral debts (Pitru Rin). Properly observing Shraddha on the sixth day (Shashti) helps fulfill all wishes and provides relief from diseases. Those who forget their ancestors are considered disrespectful.
