A family tree is the record of a family’s ancestry. Apart from being the interesting records of history, they are highly helpful for us to know where we have come from and what traits have we inherited from our deceased great grandparents called as ‘Pitra’. It can also give us clue to where we are headed.
The position of our forefathers is stated in the scriptures in between god and humans. By revering to our deceased, we can please both Pitra and God. If we do not worship our Pitra, we may get afflicted with negative effects in our personal and financial lives. Unhappy ancestors may not bless us in any new venture or Shubh Karya. It is equally important to worship them with honour in order to avoid inflictions. In the process of healing such inflictions, the healer will ask about your parents and ancestry. It is important because their traits have carried down to us through our genes. They are not the gone case of the past, but they are very much present in us through the bloodline. We inherit their habits and practices, legacy, name fame, etc. Similarly we may also inherit their curses, ailments and ambitions. As these features trickle down from generation to generation, they may accumulate the stress and worsen the situation. These blocks are called Pitra Dosha.

When dealing with Pitra Dosha, each segment of the family constellation is to be considered. There are many ways to identify it. In some cases the psychic connects with the world of the deceased and speaks names of those unsatisfied with their descendents. It is the duty of the respective descendent to identify their forefather and enquire about their cause of wrath.
In another method, the Dosha is identified with the help of the Kundli or horoscope of the person concerned or the sufferer. After carefully analysing, the details of the horoscope, possible names and relations of the particular ancestor can be identified. But in order to understand the name, the bloodline must be clear and the exact names must be in record. Also if the sufferer wants to enquire about a particular relation in connection, the family tree is required. This required information is the name of seven generations from father’s side, three generations from mother’s side, area of origination, names and places of Kul Devta and Kuldevi (deities) and location of the shrine.
When the concerned ancestor is identified, their demands can be put forward. Then different types of spiritual; healing types are used. Most common types are performing the Shradha or the rites. There are also methods of Tantric healing, healing with the help of a professional who deals in such dynamics, healing by the help of angels and some other subconscious methods. Whatever be the manner of addressing such problems, family tree is the key to unlock those secrets and get to the root. The identification of the issues related to the lineage is not possible without a family tree. So it is very much practical to extract the most needed information first, before moving ahead to the next stage.
