Pind Daan Services
Though Pind Daan can be performed at any of the banks of Holy River “Ganga” but the religious importance of performing Pind Daan lies at places like –
Gaya
Varanasi
Allahabad
Haridwar
- Whenever a person dies, his soul goes in prêt yoni instead of pitra yoni and remains attached to this materialistic world. It is time of great pain for the soul as he wonders here and there on this earth in search of salvation. It is only after Pind Daan, soul enters Pitra Yoni from Pret Yoni (Atma to Parmatma) and if pind daan is not performed on the name of departed one his soul will remain in prêt yoni till eternity. That is why it is mandatory in Hinduism to perform the ritual of Pind daan so that the departed soul can attain salvation and enters pitra yoni. It is also said that once you perform pind daan to your ancestors you will be freed from Pitra Rin (debt of ancestors) and by the grace of your ancestors it will bring good fortune and happiness to your family and you will feel ultimate mental satisfaction.
- We provide genuine priests/panda in the below mentioned sacred cities of India to the people who want to visit these cities for the purpose of pind daan and related activities. Our team will personally monitor the entire event in the city and organize “Pandit” ,”Places” and all Puja elements (Puja Items, Vidhi,Mantra) as per your need and community like Punjabi, Marwari, Gujrati, Tamil, Maharashtrian etc.
If your family follows a certain procedure of offering prayers then that would be followed to ensure your satisfaction. If you do not know the procedure then our in house pandits will make you aware of the process and perform all the rituals as mentioned in the Hinduism.
Varanasi also known as Benaras, Banaras or Kashi is the holiest place on this planet earth for Hindus. Situated on the bank of holy river Ganga it is considered as the spiritual capital of India and also called as the centre for cultural and spiritual knowledge in India. The holiness of the place can be understood by the fact that if people give up mortal life in the city they attain moksha i.e. freedom from rebirth and move on to the beautiful stages of afterlife. It is holiest of seven cities known for giving Moksh. Pilgrims from all over the world daily visit Kashi for offering prayer to Lord Shiva at Kashi Vishwanath temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlings in India. Apart from Kashivishwanath temple, the city is considered to be home of thirty-three crore god and goddesses.
In Hinduism, it is believed that the souls of the departed ancestors continue to exist in the afterlife and play a significant role in the lives of their descendants. It is believed that performing Gayaji pind daan can help release the souls of the ancestors from the cycle of rebirth and help them attain Moksha or liberation.
Pind Daan in Varanasi is considered as the path of salvation and it is believed that ancestors get ultimate satisfaction if pind daan is performed at Kashi.

- Prayers and Rituals: The priest performs various rituals, including chanting mantras, offering flowers, incense, and other holy items, and feeding the Pindas to the crows. The Pindas are believed to represent the body of the deceased and feeding them to the crows is seen as a way of offering food to the departed ancestors.
- Tarpan: Tarpan is a ritual in which water is offered to the ancestors. The priest pours water from a pot into the palms of the family members, who then offer it to the ancestors by pouring it into the river.

- Brahmin bhojanam: Offer home made food to the brahmins and take prasad after completing the ritual.

Pitrupaksh is 15 days period generally falls in September -October and performing pindpradanam during this time period is considered to be most effective and fruitful. The other important day for pind daan is on the day of Amavasya.

Gayaji Pind Daan or Brahma kapal Pind Daan is generally performed by eldest son of the family but in case there is no male member available in the family, females can also perform the rituals. It is believed that Sita mata from Ramayana had done gaya ji pind daan for king Dashratha.

It is believed that performing this ritual in Varanasi can help the departed souls attain Moksha or liberation. While the exact process of Pind Daan may vary depending on the region, community, and family customs, the essence remains the same: to show respect and gratitude to the ancestors and seek their blessings for a peaceful and prosperous life.
