Sucharita is finally back to our Powertime Practice Calls!  YAY! She welcomed us on the call, Saturday, February 6, 2021. We have been on a wild ride these past few weeks leading up to Dr. Pillai’s birthday on February 1. The energy is still very intense. Dr. Pillai’s 2021 Birthday Course is available on the Pillai Center Academy, and it will include weekly teaching calls through the end of February.

What do we do on these Powertime Practice calls? We share all the blessings of the Cosmos as taught to us by Dr. Pillai, an enlightened master. There is a new moon coming up this week that is very important for connecting with the ancestors and getting the blessings of our ancestors. All the ancestors come back to the earth plane at this time. These ancestors need to go on to higher realms, so they need us to help them. And then they can help us! 

Dr. Pillai says, “There is a gift-giving time from the ancestors to their descendants who are living in this earth plane. The ancestors who passed from earth and are living in another plane are going to give abundant blessings. I want you to take advantage of this time. You may even be able to converse with them during this time. Think about them, but the most important thing is doing the Tarpanam, which is giving the offering to them.”

Thai Amavasya is the first New Moon after the Sun starts moving towards the Northern hemisphere. In the Vedic calendar, the northward movement of the Sun marks the Dawn in Heaven and fills the earth plane with an auspicious energy of renewal. The Sun represents the soul in Vedic astrology. At the end of the week, Sun will finish up his transit in Capricorn, the 10th sign of the natural zodiac, which represents karma (actions) and ruled by Saturn, the planet of karma. During this time, your action towards liberating your ancestors by performing Tarpanam, which is a food offering to them, will be fruitful. This placement of the Sun in Saturn’s house can help you reduce the impact of ancestral karma and enable you to receive their blessings for you, your children, and future generations. On February 12, Sun will transit into Aquarius, the most humanitarian sign and another house owned by Saturn.

What is the significance of Thai Amavasya Ancestral Offerings?

Ancestors come down to the earth plane every New Moon, but this Moon is exceptional. Thai Amavasya is one of the important New Moons to reduce the impact of Pitru Dosha, known as an ancestral affliction. This affliction, which happens due to non-performance of Tarpanam (Ancestral Offerings), can impact you to a great extent and may manifest as:

  • prolonged illnesses
  • misunderstandings at home
  • no progress in career
  • financial instability
  • progeny-related issues

Connecting with the souls of your ancestors, when the Sun is in Capricorn, enables you to receive your ancestors’ blessing in abundance. According to Vedas, performing Tarpanam on the powerful New Moon at the sacred Powerspot Kasi can liberate the souls of your departed ancestors, who can bless you with prosperity and happiness. Learn more.  Learn how to do the Tarpanam ritual. Remember to only perform Tarpanam during the day light hours using the right hand to hold the coin and rice powder.
