Pitras - Our Ancestors

A spiritual discourse on the Pitraloka, the ancestral realm, and human duties.

"Your children are responsible for freeing you from the Pitraloka."

"It is your prime duty to perform all religious ceremonies according to your belief or religion... a very, very ancient way of praying for them."

The speaker explains the concept of Pitraloka, where ancestors reside until receiving a signal for their next life. He emphasizes the child's sacred duty to perform prescribed religious ceremonies and prayers to help free their parents from this realm, noting this is an ancient practice beyond mere tradition.

Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar

The Pitraloka is the world where our ancestors reside. They must live there for a period of time until they receive the signal to proceed to their next life. Some can depart quickly, while others must wait a long time—a very long time—and must wait alongside those who have committed suicide. Now, your children are responsible for freeing you from the Pitraloka. This means that, as a child of your parents, it is your prime duty to perform all religious ceremonies according to your belief or religion. This is a very old, ancient practice—I would not call it merely a tradition, but a way to pray for the ancestors. I would not say it is a habit, but rather a way of praying for the ancestors, and that is a very, very ancient way of praying for them. Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar
