During the sacred period of Mahalaya New Moon, spiritual traditions teach that our ancestors return to bless us, and their influence—what Dr. Pillai calls soul genetics—shapes our success and failure. In this article, you will learn how the simple ancestral ritual of Tarpanam can honor your lineage, dissolve karmic patterns, and bring new possibilities into your life.
“Success and failure are related to what you think and what you do. That’s for sure. But the problem is, are you completely in charge of what you are thinking or doing? You are not.” – Dr. Pillai
What Is Mahalaya New Moon?
“There is a special period of time when the departed souls of your ancestors come to the Earth Plane and this very important for everybody—for the Kings, for the lay people, for the Yogis. It’s important for those of you who are wanting relationship, or are facing problems in relationship, might want to take advantage of this two week period of ‘Mahalaya Amavasya’, the ‘Mahalaya New Moon Time.” – Dr. Pillai
The Mahalaya New Moon (Mahalaya Amavasya) is a sacred 15-day period when ancestors return to the earth plane. Spiritual traditions say that during this time, they are closest to us, influencing our thoughts, actions, and fortunes.
Dr. Pillai explains that success and failure are not entirely in our control. Much of our life is shaped by ancestral influences carried within us.
Soul Genetics: How Ancestors Influence Us
“The gene remembers black eyes, dark skin, curly hair, and Japanese or Chinese eyes versus Asian or Caucasian eyes. All these are defined within the genes. So the genes have their own brain. Just as there is a lineage on the level of the genes, there is a biological lineage. There is the inheritance of the soul. This is called ‘Soul Genetics.’
The ancestors, although their bodies are dead, are still living in another dimension in a soul form. Your soul is connected to theirs because, by the standards of Soul Genetics, they are the same soul. In other words, the thoughts that you are thinking may not be even your thoughts; it may be the thoughts of your parents, who are now no more, or your grandparents, or great-great-grandparents.” – Dr. Pillai
Science acknowledges that we inherit diseases and traits from our parents and grandparents through genes. But genes also carry energy and intelligence, which extend beyond biology.
Dr. Pillai calls this Soul Genetics—ancestral memory passed down through generations. This inheritance affects:
- Thoughts and emotions
- Actions and decisions
- Fortune or misfortune
- Success or failure
Understanding and honoring this inheritance is key to shifting our destiny.
Mahalaya Ritual: The Power of Tarpanam
“If I have to recommend one solution for every one of our problems, be it financial, relationship, or health, it is doing Tarpanam (offerings to the ancestors).You can sit and meditate for five hours a day, but you won’t get the same results that you get in one minute of Tarpanam,” – Dr. Pillai
The most important practice during Mahalaya is Tarpanam, the offering ritual for ancestors. Using simple items like black sesame seeds, rice, and water, you can nourish your ancestors and release karmic blocks.
Dr. Pillai calls Tarpanam the greatest ritual he has ever taught because it has the power to:
- Dissolve ancestral karma
- Clear negative thought patterns
- Bring peace to departed souls
- Change fortune and success in life
Why Mahalaya Is the Best Time
Performing Tarpanam at any time is beneficial, but the 15 days of Mahalaya Amavasya are especially powerful. Ancestors are more receptive, and offerings have a greater impact.
Some specialists can even see and communicate with ancestral spirits, offering personalized insights. Whether done simply at home or through advanced services, these rituals open new possibilities for healing your lineage.
