दश महाविद्या पूजा-

ॐ हौं जूं सः ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृ त्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॐ स्वः भुवः भूः ॐ सः जूं हौं ॐ ||

The special Shradh Puja at Future Point will be performed under strict Vedic rituals so that the one can pay the karmic debt that he owes to his ancestors. The period of Shradh is also known as ’Pitra Paksha’ or ’Pitru Paksha’. As touched above, Pitru Paksha is a 15 day lunar period which starts from Bhadrapada Purnima and ends at Ashwin Amavasya, which is also known as Sarva Pitru Amavasya. In this period, Hindus pay special respect and honor to their ancestors, through food offerings as part of a very profound ritual. According to Brahma Purana, Yamraj (Lord of Death) gives freedom to all the souls on the eve of Krishna Paksha so that they can eat the food in a subtle form which is offered to them by their children on the occasion of Shradh. Special Poojas are performed and as part of the ritual, food is offered to Brahmin priests. The most significant day of Pitru Paksha is the last day, which is also known as Sarvapitri (Sarva Pitru) Amavasya or Mahalaya Amavasya. Those who passed away on Amavasya, Purnima, and Chaturdashi tithi, for them, the Amavasya Tithi Shradh is done. If someone is not able to perform all the Shradh Pujas on the given dates, a single Pitru Paksha Shradh on Sarva Pitru Amavasya is enough to give homage & ensure spiritual peace to all the deceased souls in the family. The significance of Pitru Paksha can be best known from one of the biggest epics of all time- Mahabharata.
