About Dwadashamsha (D-12 chart)

As we have entered a special period called Pitru Paksha, it is good to remember the D-12 divisional chart or Dwadashamsha, which reveals ancestral heritage and our own place in our family lineage. But first, a few words about Pitru Paksha.

Pitru Paksha is a 16-day period in the Hindu calendar dedicated to honouring ancestors, observed during the waning phase of the Moon in the month of Bhadrapada (September-October). During this time, Hindus perform rituals such as Shradh and Tarpan to pay respects to their passed ancestors and seek their blessings. In general, it is a good time to spend e.g., exploring your family history, making a family tree, learning about your ancestors’ lives, visiting cemeteries and paying respects at the resting places of your passed relatives. It is believed that the souls of ancestors return to earth during these days, and offerings of food, water, and prayers help ensure their peace and contentment in the afterlife. This period holds great significance for receiving ancestral blessings, resolving issues like Pitru Dosha (ancestral curses), and promoting family harmony. The final day, Mahalaya Amavasya, is considered the most important, marking the end of Pitru Paksha.

D-12 Chart

The D-12 divisional chart, a.k.a Dwadasamsa chart, is an important tool in Vedic astrology for analyzing matters related to one's family lineage, ancestors, and parental influences. The D-12 chart focuses on the influences passed down from our ancestors, especially from parents, grandparents and so on. It is derived from dividing each sign of the zodiac into 12 parts, hence the name "Dwadasamsa" (Dwadasha means "12" in Sanskrit).

Key Areas Analyzed in the D-12 Chart:

Parental Influence:

The D-12 chart is primarily used to understand the relationship with one's parents and the impact of parental upbringing on the individual's life.

It shows the karma related to one’s parents, indicating how their behaviour, health, and fortunes may influence the native.

Ancestral Lineage and Heritage:

The chart reveals ancestral patterns and influences, both positive and negative, that may be inherited from past generations.

Ancestral blessings or unresolved issues, like Pitru Dosha (ancestral curse), can be seen in this chart.

The strengths and weaknesses of the family tree, including traditions, values, and health traits, are also reflected.

Health and Longevity of Parents:

The health of parents and their longevity can be examined through the D-12 chart. It can give insights into the wellbeing of parents and any potential issues they may face.

If malefic planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn) are prominent, it may indicate challenges or struggles related to parents.

Inheritance of Karma:

The D-12 chart provides insight into how ancestral karma (good or bad) affects the native. This karma may manifest as opportunities or challenges in the individual's life, and rituals like Shradh (ancestor worship) can help resolve or mitigate ancestral issues.

Family Fortunes and Reputation:

It reflects the status and reputation of the family as a whole. The condition of the planets in this chart reveals the level of respect and honour the family holds in society and how it will affect the native's own standing.

Spiritual Heritage:

The chart indicates the level of spiritual heritage passed down through the family. If benefic planets like Jupiter, Moon and Venus are well-placed, it shows the individual inherits spiritual wisdom, strong values, and a good moral foundation from their lineage.

How to Analyze Family and Ancestors in the D-12 Chart:

Ascendant (Lagna):

The ascendant (Lagna) and its lord in the D-12 chart represent the overall physical and psychological influence of family and ancestors on the native. It can show how much of the ancestral traits or karma the individual inherits. Also, Lagna and its lord in a certain house show which role the native has in his or her lineage (they can be positive and negative).

Sun (Father) and Moon (Mother):

Sun represents the father in a horoscope, and its placement in the D-12 chart shows the native’s connection with paternal ancestors.

Moon represents the mother, and its position indicates the maternal influence. The condition of these planets helps assess how well-supported or challenged the native’s life is due to parental and ancestral energies.

Fourth House:

The fourth house is significant for matters related to the mother, family, heritage, and property. In the D-12 chart, this house shows how the native connects emotionally with the family and the security provided by their ancestors.

Ninth House:

The ninth house represents father and ancestral wisdom. It reflects spiritual guidance and the influence of ancestors on higher learning, ethics, and fortune.

The ninth house and its lord in the D-12 chart give key indications of the native’s ancestral blessings, spiritual inheritance, and how much support the individual receives from their father and paternal lineage.

Planets and Their Conditions:

Jupiter is a significant planet in understanding ancestral blessings as it represents wisdom, tradition, and knowledge passed down from elders. Therefore, strong Jupiter gives prosperity and luck, while Jupiter in its fall is weaker and restrains from a continuous expansion and luck.

Saturn represents karmic inheritance and may indicate ancestral debts or obligations if it is afflicted.

The placement and condition of Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes) can show past-life karmas and the type of ancestral energies (positive or negative) carried forward.

Malefic and Benefic Influences:

If malefic planets like Rahu, Saturn, or Mars are prominently placed in the D-12 chart, especially if they are affecting the Sun, Moon, or the fourth/ninth houses, it may indicate ancestral challenges (karmic debts) or Pitru Dosha. This could lead to difficulties in life such as delays, health issues, or strained family relationships.

Benefic planets like Jupiter and Venus, on the other hand, show positive ancestral inheritance, such as wisdom, wealth, and spiritual support.

Remedies for Ancestral Issues:

If the D-12 chart reveals ancestral difficulties or Pitru Dosha, the following remedies can help alleviate these issues:

Performing Shradh: During Pitru Paksha, performing Shradh and offering food, water, and donations to honour the ancestors is a powerful remedy.

Tarpan: Offering water and prayers regularly to ancestors can help resolve any karmic debts inherited from them.

Donations and Charity: Performing charity in the name of ancestors can bring relief from inherited challenges and help receive blessings.

Chanting Mantras: Reciting mantras like the Pitru Suktam or performing Pitru Gayatri mantra helps in pacifying the souls of ancestors.

May the power of our Ancestors come with us!

[that-mad-indian-woman]

I haath been sent from beyond to enquire as to what you actually do on Mahalaya...

(Definitely not a bangali wanting you to infodump)

So before I go into what I MYSELF do in mahalaya, I will pretext it by giving some context into what mahalaya actually is.

So. What is mahalaya?

Mahalaya is typically known as the beginning of devipaksha. These "pakshas" Are usually demarcated by the movements of the moon. One fortnight from one full moon to the next is one "paksha". This one is particularly known as " Devipaksha " Because the Mythological story goes as follows(which we grew up listening to from our grandpas)

So when the earth was created, it was believed to be a huge great sea and Vishnu laid at its depths, deep in sleep. Then from his earlobe emerged two demons, madhu and kaitav who wreaked havoc on earth. Lord brahma emerged from vishnu's navel and pleaded the Lord to wake and destroy the evils. After months of meditation, vishnu woke finally. What followed was a war over 5000 years and at the end, when vishnu was exhausted and the demons still remained, he pleaded to Goddess Adishakti who emerged and charmed the demons with her beauty. Vishnu took the chance and killed the demons. Mahalaya is believed to be the day The devi helped in this destruction of evil, so the following fourteen days are said to be "Devi" Paksha.

Now, there's another side of this story. To us bengalis, mahalaya is also believed to be the time devi parvati comes back to her father's house with all her children. Parvati is considered as "barir meye" (Daughter of the house) by almost all bengalis, so pujo is technically a celebration of parvati's homecoming.

To the general kolkata-citizens however; mahalaya implies pujos are close, so celebrations and planning have to be started soon;)

SO, WHAT DO PEOPLE DO IN MAHALAYA?

If one fine day in october, you see your bengali friend wake up at 4am and go up to the terrace; check the dates. Cause it might be mahalaya.

To be completely honest here, not much happens on mahalaya. But it's the time when the clouds are clear, the sun is red in the horizon and Our own daughter is coming back home. Which is why the traditional way of celebrating mahalaya iss waking up when there are still twinkling stars in the sky and watch sunrise. this is usually followed by listening to agomoni songs (agomon=arrival in bengali) and mahalaya recited by one legendary man. We have all listened to the exact same version of mahalaya over the years. My grandpa listened to it as a kid, my father listened to it as a kid, and i myself listen to it every year now. It's mahalaya recited by birendra kishore bhodro. There's a certain spirituality in listening to the fables of destruction of evil by a supreme power while watching the red sun lick the skies and the morning light come to being. for any of you interested, here's the link:

Anyway, there are also TV shows during mahalaya, that show the stories behind the various forms of durga that is worshipped all over bengal in sort of a theatrical manner. As far as i remember, there are 108 forms, all of the same goddess, banishing different evils.

To sum it up, mahalaya for us(or atleast me) is a day to get slightly in contact with the spiritual side of the pujos that follow. Because in the hocus-pocus of all the fun and plans that usually signify pujo, it's usually extremely easy to lose track of what it is actually all about-the victory of good over evil, and ceelbrating women-power through femininity.

This puja is carried out in all Shakti Peethas of Odisha. Though, rituals vary from temple to temple, the common ritual is that the Goddess is attired in different forms for each day like Rajarajeshwari, Bhubaneswari, Bagalamukhi, Jayadurga etc. The different attires are called Besas or Shodasha Besa.

These are the images of Shodasha Besa of different temples of Cuttack according to dates, from the start of the Navratri i.e. 15th October 2023 till Dussehra i.e. 24th October 2023.

I thought durga puja and mahalaya were the same thing but i was wrong.Mahalaya is the end of pitri paksha and the start of devi paksha.On this day,We remember and mourn our ancestors and pray for them.

Significance of Worshipping Marble Shiv Parvati Statue During Pitra Paksha

Pitra Paksha, a significant 16-day period in the Hindu calendar, is a time devoted to paying homage to the ancestors (Pitrs) through various rituals, prayers, and offerings. This fortnight, observed with deep reverence, is believed to be crucial for ensuring peace and blessings from departed souls. One of the prominent practices during this period is the worship of deities, including Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Among the various forms of devotion, worshipping a marble Shiv Parvati statue holds a special place. 

The Importance of Pitra Paksha in Hinduism

Pitra Paksha, also known as Shraddh or Mahalaya Paksha, is observed during the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Bhadrapada (September–October). During this period, it is believed that the souls of ancestors visit the Earth to receive offerings from their descendants. This time is especially crucial for conducting Shraddh rituals to appease the souls of deceased family members, as it is believed that their blessings can bring prosperity and remove obstacles from the lives of the living.

Various rituals, including Tarpan, Pind Daan, and feeding Brahmins, are conducted during Pitra Paksha. Alongside these rituals, worshipping deities such as Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati is considered essential, as their blessings are invoked to guide the ancestors toward liberation (moksha).

The Spiritual Importance of Worshipping a Marble Shiv Parvati Statue

Shiva, the destroyer and transformer, and Parvati, the mother goddess, represent the perfect balance of cosmic energy. Together, they are revered as the ultimate couple symbolizing both destruction and creation. Their worship during Pitra Paksha is believed to enhance the spiritual power of the rituals performed for the ancestors.

A marble Shiv Parvati statue not only enhances the aesthetics of a temple but also serves as a focal point for meditation and prayer. Marble is considered a pure and sacred material, often used in temples and religious statues due to its ability to stay cool and absorb positive vibrations. The pristine white color of marble symbolizes purity and tranquility, qualities that are essential during the solemn rituals of Pitra Paksha.

Worshipping a marble Shiv Parvati statue during this period has multiple layers of significance:

Easing the Journey of Ancestors: It is believed that Lord Shiva, with his power to grant moksha, can ease the journey of departed souls. Praying to him during Pitra Paksha helps guide ancestors towards liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

Balancing the Energies: Shiva and Parvati represent the perfect balance between masculine and feminine energies. Worshipping them together during Pitra Paksha invokes harmony, ensuring that the rituals are conducted with the right energy and intention.

Enhancing Devotion and Focus: A marble statue, due to its fine craftsmanship and serene appearance, can deepen a devotee's focus during prayers. The tactile and visual experience of offering flowers, water, or milk to a marble Shiv Parvati statue can heighten the spiritual experience.

Connection with Tradition: Using a marble statue connects devotees to the age-old tradition of building temples and idols with natural materials. By following these traditional practices, the worshippers maintain a sacred link with their ancestors and the spiritual heritage passed down over generations.

The Role of Shiv Marble Statue Exporters and Marble Temple Manufacturers

The demand for intricately carved marble statues and temples has seen a significant rise, not only in India but also internationally. Devotees across the globe seek high-quality marble statues for personal worship or to place in temples. This is where the expertise of shiv marble statue exporters becomes essential.

Shiv marble statue exporters ensure that devotees worldwide can access beautifully crafted idols, enabling them to continue their traditional worship, even when they are far from their homeland. These exporters take pride in offering statues that are artistically crafted, ensuring both spiritual and aesthetic satisfaction.

On the other hand, marble temple manufacturers play a crucial role in crafting custom-made temples that house these statues. Whether it is a simple home altar or an elaborate temple, manufacturers ensure that the temple structure complements the divine presence of the marble statues. The use of marble in constructing these temples enhances the sanctity of the space, allowing for a serene atmosphere for prayer and devotion.

Conclusion

Worshipping a marble Shiv Parvati statue during Pitra Paksha holds immense spiritual importance. It helps guide the ancestors towards peace and ensures that the rituals performed are full of divine energy. The purity of the marble and the significance of the deities make this form of worship deeply meaningful during this time of ancestral reverence. The contribution of marble temple manufacturers is invaluable, as they bring these sacred symbols into homes and temples, making it easier for devotees to connect with their spiritual practices.

As Pitra Paksha draws near, consider bringing the divine presence of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati into your home with a beautifully crafted marble statue, fostering peace and harmony during this sacred time.

For any further inquiries or needs regarding marble statues or temples, always feel free to consult experts or suppliers who can guide you through the selection process.
