These ancestors can be our teachers\, mentors\, role models\, friends\, and those who have walked the spiritual path before us. \nRecommended Observances\nIn observing Pitru Paksha\, we offer our gratitude to the countless souls who have brought grace\, wisdom\, protection\, and love to our lives. We can honor our ancestors by making a donation to a not-for-profit organization\, such as the SYDA Foundation\, and by dedicating spiritual practices on the ancestors’ behalf. These practices include meditation\, chanting\, mantra repetition\, and prayer. \nRecommended Abstentions\nDuring this 14-day period\, it is recommended that people refrain from beginning new projects or major undertakings. While long journeys such as cross-continental or international travel are not recommended\, short-distance air and car travel are fine. If you find that you must travel during this time\, it is good to be especially vigilant and alert\, and to offer prayers for protection. Travel that is considered auspicious during Pitru Paksha is travel undertaken as pilgrimage or to begin spiritual practice. \nPlease consider these guidelines as suggestions only and make plans that are most appropriate for your situation.
