What are Pitrus?
In our spiritual journey, we often encounter the term “Pitrus.” Based on the profound teachings of Bapuji Dashrathbhai Patel, Pitrus are simply your deceased relatives who have left their physical bodies. This includes your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, as well as maternal relatives like your mother and grandmother.
Let us explore why these souls sometimes interact with the living. Bapuji explains that a soul may enter a person’s body to communicate, give directions, or express unfulfilled desires. While these were once our loved ones, it is essential to approach these interactions with spiritual wisdom and a clear understanding of the soul’s nature.
The Reality of Spirit Possession and Negative Energies
We must realize that the current age, known as Kalyug, is a “Tamopradhan” (degraded) time where the atmosphere is filled with negative vibrations. Bapuji provides several vital warnings regarding spirits that attempt to control or speak through living bodies:
- Deceptive Identities: Negative spirits are often untruthful. They may lie about who they are to gain your trust or manipulate your family.
- Unfulfilled Desires (Vasanas): Many souls remain trapped in lower realms because of “vasanas.” These are strong worldly cravings they could not satisfy while alive.
- The Trap of Demands: Fulfilling a spirit’s request does not bring peace. Instead, it often encourages them to stay and make even more demands.
- Impossible Requirements: Sometimes, negative spirits from different backgrounds or religions enter a household. They may demand things that violate the family’s values, such as alcohol or non-vegetarian food. These spirits rarely come alone; they often bring other negative energies into the home.
Why Traditional Methods and Tantrics Often Fail
Many people try to solve these problems with old rituals. One example is “Narayan Bali.” This may give you some mental peace for a short time. However, it cannot break deep karmic bonds.
You should also be careful with tantrics or magicians. These people charge a lot of money. They often do not help the situation. In many cases, they even leave more negative energy behind in your house. These methods focus on the outside. They do not fix the real problem inside the soul.
The Solution: Increasing Soul Power through ‘Gyan Marg’
The only permanent way to stop these disturbances is “Gyan Marg,” the Path of Knowledge. This path teaches us to change from the inside out.
- Be Soul-Conscious: We must stop seeing ourselves as just a physical body. Realize that you are a soul.
- Recognize the Almighty Authority: Connect your mind to the “Almighty Authority.” This is the Ultimate Source and the Creator of all, including great avatars like Ram and Krishna.
- Connect to Behad ka Paramdham: By remembering the “Behad ka Paramdham” (the Ultimate Home of the Beyond), you can pull down unlimited power. This is far greater than the limited power found in local deities or rituals.
- Purify the Karan Sharir: This divine power, or “Behad ki kala” (limitless power), enters you and purifies your “Karan Sharir.” This is the “seed body” where all your past karmas are stored.
- The White Aura: As your soul power grows, your Aura turns bright white. This acts as a protective shield. Negative spirits cannot withstand these high-frequency vibrations; when they see this light, they will either reform or be forced to leave.
Spreading ‘Behad ki Param Shanti’ for Protection
A core practice in Gyan Marg is spreading the vibration of “Behad ki Param Shanti” (Infinite Supreme Peace). When you radiate this peace, you transform your environment.
We must understand why we have the authority to command such peace. Bapuji teaches that we are not originally from this limited Earth. We are high-level souls who have come from the “Great Universe” (Mahabrahman) and distant galaxies. Every soul carries a complete record of its vast journey. By connecting to the Almighty Authority, you reclaim your original power to settle local ancestral issues and clear the atmosphere of your home.
Finding Freedom: Guiding Souls to Higher Realms
We must no longer live in fear of the ancestral realm. Sometimes, spirits use threats, claiming they will be reborn into your family to cause misery. Do not be afraid. If a soul causes trouble before birth, it will not bring happiness after birth.
Instead of succumbing to fear, use your knowledge to guide these souls. Encourage them to stop cycling through birth and death on Earth. Use your vibrations to show them the path to higher realms like Janlok, Maharlok, or Taplok.
Always remember: “Gyan hi Prakash hai” (Knowledge is Light). By staying soul-conscious and spreading vibrations of Supreme Peace, you secure your life and your home. To deepen your understanding, we encourage you to explore the “Unspoken Truth” playlist on YouTube, specifically videos like “Life After Death” and “The Time Between Death and Rebirth.”
Behad ki Param Shanti.
