Why Is Pitru Paksha Important?

Pitru Paksha provides an opportunity to remember our forefathers with gratitude and respect. For devotees, remembrance can be accompanied by devotional activities such as seva, charity, prasadam distribution, chanting and prayer.
Offering service in the sacred atmosphere of Vrindavan Dham allows devotees to dedicate their efforts to the service of Sri Krishna and His devotees while remembering their family lineage.
Rather than making promises about specific results for ancestors, this page can focus on the devotional purpose of the offering: gratitude, remembrance, prayer and seva.
