It is a famous puja, and people throng to this Trimbak temple to conduct this puja ritual to get relief from all types of ancestral curses and suffering. The Trimbak temple is one of the twelve Jyotir Lingas of India. A Jyotirlinga, described in the Shiva Purana, is associated with Lord Shiva. ‘Jyoti’ means ‘Divine light.' A Jyotirlinga means a radiant/divine light of Lord Shiva and is revered as a centre of powerful Shiva energies. The Trimbakeshwar Pind Daan puja performed here is highly auspicious and effective. Any person who gets the Tripindi shraddh puja at Trimbakeshwar done is blessed by the ancestors.

In India, there are twelve Jyotirlingas, Somnath (Gujarat), Mallikarjuna (Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh), Mahakaleswar (Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh), Omkareshwar (Madhya Pradesh), Kedarnath in (Himalayas), Timbakkeshwar (Maharashtra), Bhimashankar (Maharashtra), Viswanath (Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh), Vaidyanath (Deoghar in Jharkhand), Nageshvara Jyotirlinga (Dwarka, Gujarat), Rameshwar (Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu) and Grishneshwar (Aurangabad, Maharashtra).

WHAT IS TRIPINDI SHRADH (MEANING)?

The term Tripindi is a compound of two words, ‘Tri’ means ‘three’ and ‘Pind’ means offerings to the departed souls of Pitru/Pitr or ancestors. The Pind is made of a mixture of boiled rice, black sesame seeds, barley flour and ghee. Tripindi shraddh is a ritual or puja wherein the offerings, or Pind Daan, are made to the ancestors of the past three (tri) generations. It is believed that the departed souls of ancestors who had an accidental death of any kind, be it a car accident, bitten by a poisonous animal, murder, etc., or who died with unfulfilled desires exert their influence (Pitru Dosha in Kundli) on their descendants in the family for their souls to get liberated. It aims to appease the departed ancestors who reside in the Preta Yoni (like ghosts) because their family members fail to offer Shraadh to them.

Tripindi shraddh aims to pacify, honour, and liberate their souls to move onward on their journey in the other world and get free from the pangs of the material world. In this puja, forgiveness for the souls of ancestors is sought. The Shraadh ritual turns more auspicious and beneficial if performed in the Pitrapaksh of the month of Bhadrapada (Sept-Oct). As per the Shastras or ancient Hindu scriptures, it is better if one periodically offers Shraadh to their ancestors on their death anniversary. When Shradha puja is not done for three consecutive years, then Tripindi shraddh puja should be offered so that the souls of one's ancestors can rest in peace. Apart from this, it benefits the individual performing this ritual and his/her family with blessings of the ancestors, peace, removal of obstacles, and many other such blessings. Both married and unmarried people can perform the Tripindi puja Trimbakeshwar. The Vidhi of Tripindi Shraddha should be performed by a qualified, suitable pundit.

The most auspicious Mahurat to perform Tripindi Shraadh Puja at Trimbakeshwar is during Pitra Paksha (Fri, 29 Sept, 2023 – Sat, 14 Oct, 2023)

WHY IS TRIPINDI SHRAADH PUJA PERFORMED AT THE TRIMBAKESHWAR ONLY?

The Trimbakeshwar temple is an ancient and famous temple of the Supreme Lord Shiva, where many pujas, religious rites, and rituals are performed. It is one of the auspicious 12 Jyotirlingas, in India. Ancient scriptures such as Dharma Sindhu mention that the religious rites and rituals for pacifying the departed souls and for relieving oneself of Kaal Sarpa Dosha should be performed only at Trimbakeshwar, a fact corroborated in the Skanda Purana and Padma Purana. Tripindi shraddh puja must be done at Trimbak temple, as the temple has superior cosmic vibrations, and gives the best result of the puja and benefits. The presence of three Lingams inside the Trimbak temple, which denote the Divine Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesha (Shiva), makes this temple sacred and special.

The ancient images of different Vedic deities such as Gangadevi, Jaleswara, Rameswara, Gautameswara, Kedarnath, Rama, Krishna, Parasurama, and Lakshmi Narayana. These unique features of lingams and deities make the temple vibrant with cosmic energy, which naturally nullifies the negative energies (Dosha, Karmic reactions, etc.). Therefore, it makes Trimbakeshwar Tripindi Pooja, a more effective ancestral puja, compared to other places where it is performed.

Moreover, in Trimbak temple, Lord Shiva is the presiding deity. The divine nature of Lord Shiva has been described by the Prajapatis in the Bhagavat Purana (8.7.22). Lord Shiva was requested to save the world when the deadliest poison Halahala emerged during the Churning of the Ocean (Samudra Manthana).

त्वमेकः सर्वजगत ईश्वरो बन्धमोक्षयोः । तं त्वामर्चन्ति कुशलाः प्रपन्नार्तिहरं गुरुम् ॥२२॥

The Prajapatis said to Shiva: “O Lord, you are the cause of bondage and liberation of the entire universe because you are its ruler. Those who are advanced in spiritual consciousness surrender unto you, and therefore you are the cause of mitigating distress, and you are also the cause of their liberation. We, therefore, worship Your Lordship.”

At the request of the Prajapatis, demigods, and other heavenly personalities, Lord Shiva considered it his duty to protect and keep all living entities safe from struggling for existence. Without hesitation, Lord Shiva drank the whole poison, thereby saving each and every living being. This event indicates that it is only Lord Shiva who liberates the sinners from the reactions of their Karma. It is Lord Shiva only who liberates the suffering living beings. Lord Shiva purifies the malicious and rectifies the Dosha of any sort. Therefore, the Tripindi shraddh puja performed at Trimbak Temple is highly rewarding and auspicious.
