What is Pitra Dosha? Pitra refers to ancestors or forefathers and any wrong done by ancestors themselves or to ancestors either by others or their own progenies creates Paitrik or Pitra Dosh. There is a mention of 14 kinds of Pitra-Dosh based on placement and aspect of malefic planets. Rahu is considered the major cause of Pitra Dosh in Vedic astrology. Some astrologers believe that Pitra Dosh is an indication that ancestors of people, who have Pitra Dosh in their horoscope, could not be relieved of their sufferings either due to the results of their own wrong doings or because of unnatural/premature death. It is believed that Pitra Dosh may occur if any ancestors up to the 7th generation (father’s side)/4th generation (mother’s side) had met an unnatural death. Others are of the opinion that Pitra Dosh is the curse of ancestors. It simply means that forefathers of the person having Pitra Dosh in the horoscope are not happy with the native. As a result, native having Pitra Dosh suffers from diseases, failures, disruptions in education and debts etc. State of being childless is also considered the result of this Dosha. Premature or early death due to diseases or accidents is observed in worse cases. Some believe that Pitra Dosh is caused due to lack of fulfilment of any parental desire. Whatever the reasons for Pitra Dosh in one’s horoscope, the native has to clear the debt of forefathers or fulfil the parental desire.
Debt formed by misdeeds of the forefathers has either to be paid, cleared or reduced by good deeds of the progenies.
If this is not possible by any means, there are several remedies available to reduce the bad effects of the Pitra Dosh. One should get suspicious of being under the impact of Pitra Dosh if he/she is observing the following incidences in his/her family life. After finding the indications of Pitra Dosh, it is wise to consult an astrologer to confirm if there is an affliction in the 9th house by any malefic planet. Following signs indicate probability of presence of Pitra Dosh:
Abortion, repeated miscarriages, premature baby birth and innumerable death of children
Problems in conceiving or getting pregnant
Disruption in education and career growth
Delayed marriage, problems in marriage and married life
Spirit (ghost) shadow on the family
Remedy for Pitra/Paitrik/Pitru dosh. When Pitra Dosh is due to abnormal or unnatural early death of any ancestor (Garud Purana 40:4-12) in the manner given in following sentence, a rite called Narayan Bali is performed at Trimbkeshwar, Haridwar, Badrinath and Gaya by learned Pundits/Brahmins/Sadhaks. Unnatural type of death involves death by robbers, murder, arson, curse, animals, snake bite, lightening, fall from mountain, falling of a tree, by a disease, suicide, fasting etc. Performing shraaddha ceremony and pind-daan following specific rituals at the Gaya or any other specified place.
Performing ancestor’s puja during pitra paksha removes Pitra Dosha. Performing puja of the Pipal tree on any Somwati Amavasya reduces the bad effects of Pitra Dosha. First thing to be done is to offer one Yagyopavit
(offer a Janeu) to the tree and second Yagyopavit to Lord Vishnu. Thereafter move around the tree (parikrama) 108 times. While moving, chant the mantra “Om Namo Bhagvate Vaasudevaay Namah” and offer a sweet to the tree during each round.
One more remedy is to feed crows and fish with small balls of cooked rice and sesame seeds mixed with gee on every Saturday. Crows, street dogs & sweepers should be offered food during the Pitra pakchha. Charities like gold and cow to a Brahmin
Perform Rudrabhishek (Rudra Abhishek) in the name of ancestors and Kanya Daan. Pitra Dosh is not a curse of the Ancestors for sure as the horoscope of a person is drawn and decided right at the time of his birth and accordingly any kind of defects are decided at the time of his birth which would include defects like Pitra Dosh, Kaal Sarp Dosh and Manglik Dosh among other defects. Coming to the defect called Pitra Dosh, if this defect is decided at the birth of a person, then what has this person done in this birth to get cursed by the ancestors. I mean if a person grows older and does some bad Karmas or Bad deeds which may bring disgrace to the good and fair name of Ancestors, then it may be considered that the Ancestors are cursing that person. But why curse a person before his birth. And before we move any further, let me tell you that in most of the cases a person born in a family line is none other than one of his own Ancestors. For example a person born in a family line is usually one of the forefathers of that family who has reborn in that family again. According to the theory of Karmic astrology, most of the people are born in the same family lines with same friends and same enemies in so many of their lives until their Karmic debts, duties and rewards are all cleared from that particular group of people or we can call them particular group of Souls. Coming back to the point, what actually is this Pitra Dosh if it is not a curse of the Ancestors? Let’s look into the matter and find out what is Pitra Dosh. Pitra Dosh is not the curse of the ancestors as defined by some astrologers, but it is a debt formed as a result of bad deeds done by the ancestors and this debt has to be paid by the present generation either by taking the punishment decided according to that debt or by doing some specific good Karmic deeds which would help paying this debt so that the degree of punishment may be decreased. And after knowing so much about the definition of Pitra Dosh, let’s find out how this dosh is seen present in a horoscope. Let’s discuss about its remedies. Like all other defects presents in a horoscope, Pitra Dosh is a very technical defect and general remedies are not sufficient for it. It is very important first to identify the planet or planets causing Pitra Dosh and then do the remedies which usually involve Pooja, Mantras, Gemstones and Charities. And for the people who are told that Pitra Dosh is a curse of the ancestors and it can be modified by doing Poojas and charities to pacify and please their ancestors, let me tell you that this remedy is not going to do much good for you because your Ancestors are not cursing you but they are themselves cursed and so you don’t need to pray to them, but you need to pray for them. So in order to relieve yourself and your ancestors of the Pitra Dosh present in your horoscope, identify the planet or planets causing Pitra Dosh in the horoscope and then do specific Remedies to pay the debts of those planets and pacify those planets so that they may reduce the quantum of punishment they are imposing on you.

Numerous men and women will require the services of the family law court system at some place in their lives. Many could never foresee that they would discover themselves in the court room having employed the services of a family solicitor.
Here are a few examples of positive reasons why a person or family may require the services of a Family Law Solicitor. Adoption of a child or baby is an exciting life-choice however there are many legal aspects that have to be dealt with. A family solicitor could be helping a couple complete their family, or drawing up the papers that helps a single parent feed and cloth their children.
However, it is an unfortunate reality that many end up in the family law court for less pleasant reasons. The possibilities are endless however, they could be going through the process of divorce, fighting someone over child custody, they could be in the process of getting sued for child support, or being taken to court for alimony. There are sad cases of family members being accused of abuse or paternity cases where one is fighting to prove or disprove that they are the paternal father. In these types of cases there are no exclusions due to age, gender race or religion; all are expected to attend court. The impact of a courts decision in all these matters is likely to be significant in terms of the future of the family.
Those who have been married, divorced, living as domestic partners, or even those involved in a civil union may appear in family law and court if there is not a ‘happily ever after’ solution. The courts will decide who gets what in terms of property and persons. So who gets which visitation periods of the children, who keeps the family home, who owes for the debt the couple accrued while together will all be decided and more. It is often very difficult, upsetting and complicated to work out all the details of who gets what. However the process is there to settle disputes and allow people and families to rebuild their lives.
So with all of this to worry about you should seek the advice and services of a family law solicitor. Professional legal advice will make certain that you interests are suitably protected.
Relationship agreements (sometimes called nuptial agreements) can give you peace of mind. So if you plan to get married, start cohabiting or are about to enter into a civil partnership then some form of formal relationship agreement can protect you both.

It’s funny, but when asked about things learnt that have served to be the greatest contribution to their lives most people will not mention anything from schools days. Have you noticed this? I can say that the things I have learnt which have served as a platform for personal growth did not come from the classroom.
Basically, the education system with its tunnel-minded curriculum is designed to make young people fit into boxes for the corporations and suchlike when they come out. In a way, that means, you’re going to have to make up for an absence of really learning about life!
Here are 7 things they never told me at school (but could have).
1. The Importance of Communication
We were never told the importance of communication or trained in this area. Effective communication brings together so many different things and therefore serves as a great life handling tool: Great relationships, successful projects, achievements… are all routed in effective communication.
2. Everything is the expression of consciousness
Life shows up as a consequence of where you are consciously at: Your thoughts, feelings and emotions, attitude… all contribute to the life that ‘shows up’ for you. So, if you don’t like the life you’re living then change these things. For example, if you find yourself in victimhood circumstances (the symptoms of victim consciousness) then look at where you are consciously at and change these things (the root cause).
3. Natural health
Like other schools we had our share of economics teachers but no one ever said that the best investment in life you could ever make is in your health. Because of corporate interests the education curriculum generally focuses only on pharmaceutical approaches when it comes to health. Alternative practitioners and great pioneers with their potentially life-saving approaches based on natural health have been ignored. There are 4 things that support good health. They are: Nutrition, exercise, attitude in life and the environment, but sadly, this is not given enough attention.
4. Applying philosophy
In school we never talked that much about life. No curriculum was ever set up to have conversations and discussions with our teachers on how to handle life; dealing with problems, or how to make relationships work… etc, the things that matter most to us. Sadly most people grow up, possibly out of school habit, seldom talk about life and spend much of their time talking meaningless nah, nah, nah nothings… and look at the result: A world full of people going nowhere in their lives, just like the soap opera characters on TV. Philosophy doesn’t have to be just mere armchair discussion. It can be used to practically apply ideas in life, hence the empowering phrase ‘applying philosophy.’
5. Being yourself
You don’t have to just be some corporate cog-in-wheel care of the education system’s grooming. I have learned that being yourself is your biggest strength. More than ever, particularly on the humanitarian front, the world needs people to think for themselves. Realize that there are other ways, different to this education sausage machine that turns out well educated clones unable to really think for themselves. As Albert Einstein once said “Real thinking is to think the unthinkable…” History has shown outside-of-the-box individuals thinking for themselves and they have contributed greatly to humanity…
6. Having a deep and genuine love for yourself
How do you expect to have a deep and genuine love flowing out there with your family, friends, groups, communities, the environment or all things spiritual… and then have it return on you when you had not began that deep and genuine love right there with your own self? This is consistent with 2 above that life shows up as a consequence of where you are consciously at.
7. The past is your biggest enemy in life
I was never told at school how to learn to realise that my past can run me instead of me running it: Fear, anxiety or an unwillingness to be creative and adventurous… are the operatives here. Because this subject could go into great lengths I’ve decided to make it something for another day. Simpler to say to be in present time, the only place where life exists is something to be cherished and mastered.
Of course, there were others but I’ll leave there, at least for now.

Albumin, an ingredient commonly found in cosmetics, works to clean, refine and tighten your skin. You get albumin from the egg yolk.
