Crows have a significant importance in Pitru Paksha. It is believed that until crows eat the food of Shradh, the souls of ancestors do not get satisfaction. Know why?
This year Pitru Paksha will be celebrated from 17 October to 2 October. During these days, ancestors are satisfied by performing Tarpan, Pinddaan, and charity. It is believed that Shradh Paksha is the time to repay the debt of ancestors and if Shradh is performed on the death anniversary of ancestors, then happiness and prosperity remain throughout the year.
In the scriptures, crows have special importance during Shradh. In this, it is necessary to take out Panchbali Bhog from the food prepared for ancestors, which is offered to crows, cows, dogs, ants, and gods. But do you know why the food of Shradh is fed to crows only, let us tell you:
Why is Shrad food fed to crows?
According to Garuda Purana, crow is considered a symbol of Yamraj. It is believed that if the crow consumes the food of Shradh, then the soul of the ancestors gets peace. This pleases Yamraj and the soul of the ancestors gets satisfied.
Boon received from Yamraj
According to Garuda Purana, the crow got a boon from Yamraj that the food fed to the crow will give peace to the soul of the ancestors. Whoever gives food to the crow, the soul of his ancestors will get peace. It is also said in the scriptures that feeding the crow after Shradh is as important as feeding a Brahmin.
Crow gives signals
During Pitru Paksha, some signals given by the crow are considered auspicious signs, as if it comes and sits in the courtyard of the house, then it is considered a good sign. Apart from this, if the crow eats the food given by you, then it is very auspicious. It means that your ancestors are very happy with you.
