Narayan Bali Shradh is a special Hindu ritual performed for ancestors, particularly to offer peace and liberation to the souls of deceased family members. It is conducted when a person feels that their ancestors’ souls are disturbed, causing ongoing problems, such as family disputes, health issues, or financial challenges. The ritual is performed to resolve "Pitra Dosha" (an ancestral curse) and to bring peace to the souls of the ancestors.
Benefits of Narayan Bali Shradh:
Removal of Pitra Dosha: Narayan Bali Shradh is considered an effective remedy for alleviating "Pitra Dosha," which is believed to bring obstacles, difficulties, and suffering in one’s life due to the unfulfilled desires or bad deeds of ancestors. This ritual helps in resolving such issues.
Peace for the Soul: The primary aim of this ritual is to bring peace to the souls of the ancestors and ensure their liberation (moksha), so they can rest peacefully in the afterlife.
Relief from Troubles: This ritual is believed to help overcome family problems, health issues, financial difficulties, and other obstacles that may arise from ancestral curses or unresolved matters with deceased family members.
