small correction as regards Pitru-Devatalu = Pitru Devatalnte SWADHA DEVI and her paricharika devatalu – (Swadha devi is twin sister of Swaha devi – in our regular pujas we offer nivedyalu saying –
OM
1)PRANAYA SWAHA- 2)APANAYA SWAHA-
3)VYANAYA SWAHA
4)UDANAYA SWAHA
5)SAMANAYA SWAHA-
but in pitru rituals, the offerings will be taken by SWADHA DEVI AND HER ASSISTANTS
☆ ☆☆☆☆
AAATMA HAS NO DEATH – STILL POSITION ;

But it is the Manasu with all vasanas recorded while in the body will take suukhshama (molecular shape not appears to the eye ) – because, it is very very small like helium gas goes high and mix in the Air ;
☆☆☆☆☆ What ever offerings made by the sons/ daughters of the deceased – the SWADHA DEVI AND HER ASSISTANTS are satisfied for saying sorries according to Garuda purana,all the ancestors in the lineal order I.e father, grand-father , and great -grandfather failed to live as per Vedas and Sastras and failed and not complied the DHARMA, but lived for meterilistic like education, marriage, children, money earning for children needs and wants but failed to SATISFY THE SWAHA DEVI AND HER ASSISTANTS during their life time ;
with this pitru rituals, if properly done certainly the the lineal decendents in the next next generations – as both the twin sisters the SWAHA DEVI & SWADHA DEVI are satisfied , the lineal descendents will prosper/ heath wise, wealth wise, family tranquility , respect of family in the society wise etc..

but unfortunately this vital concept is mis- interpreted/ mis- understood by the persons ; Pitru-Devatalu doesn't mean chanipoina ancestors .

if any body has dislike for the father, mother, grandfather etc.. as revenge – persons are not performing Pitru-rituals with passion/ interest – sraddha BHAKTI- hence problems are increasing in families and lives.
