As per the holy scripture ‘Srimad Bhagavad Gita’, the body is destructible but the soul remains immortal. The soul never takes birth neither it dies. The soul is immortal and ever existent. Hence neither air, water nor fire can destroy it. http://www.kismatkarma.com/shraad-meditations/ Things To Be Avoided During Pitru Paksha During Shraadh, try to restrain yourself from doing all the things mentioned below: Avoid buying any new clothes during the time of Pitru Paksha. Any auspicious event like marriage, or birth ceremony is completely prohibited during the time of Shraadh. Try to avoid having a haircut during the days of Shradh. Restrain from eating non vegetarian food, alcohol and tobacco during the time of Shraadh. Try to avoid eating at others’ house during the time of Shraadh. It is considered that if you eat (salt debt) at someone's home their Pitru is transferred to the host. This can only be removed by balancing the act or through a remedial Meditation. Hence, try to avoid all the above mentioned things on Shradh in 2017.
