Hindu scriptures describe that blessings of ancestors bring prosperity, while their anger causes loss and suffering. Elders in India believe that when forefathers are forgotten during auspicious works or ignored in rituals, their displeasure creates Pitra Dosh, leading to financial troubles, family unrest, and health problems.
Lack of Respect
When ancestors are angry, family members face humiliation and disrespect in society. Problems arise at every step, lowering the dignity of the household.
Financial Struggles
According to Sanatan Dharma beliefs, Pitra Dosh leads to shortage of money. Savings vanish, debts remain unpaid, and unnecessary expenses rise. Despite hard work, financial stability does not return.
Family Unrest and Disputes
Ignored ancestors cause frequent quarrels in families. Marriage delays, rifts among relatives, and lack of harmony disturb peace at home. This unrest is seen as a strong sign of ancestral anger.
Problems Related to Children
Pitra Dosh is believed to affect childbirth and children’s well-being. Families may face difficulty in conceiving, while children may suffer poor health or fall into bad company.
Legal Complications
Astrological traditions connect forgotten ancestors with legal troubles. Families may face unexpected court cases, administrative hurdles, or disputes that drag on for years.
Severe Illness
Religious beliefs also link Pitra Dosh with incurable diseases. Women are considered especially vulnerable, suffering from health conditions that resist treatment. These difficulties are interpreted as the spiritual consequences of neglecting forefathers.
Sanatan Dharma emphasizes that remembering ancestors during Pitru Paksha, Shradh rituals, and family ceremonies ensures peace, wealth, health, and harmony, while ignoring them results in Pitra Dosh, loss of respect, financial instability, and prolonged suffering.
