Sarvpitra Amavasya
when we offer water
with our thumb for ancestors,
it is believed to bring
them peace and satisfaction.
In the south-west direction or under the
peepal tree, an oil lamp is lit —
symbolizing light on their path.
Whether these offerings truly reach them
or not, no one can say for sure.
But this amazing and beautiful tradition —
whether seen as spirituality, science,
or psychology — surely brings
deep peace to the heart and soul.
