Refuses to perform Pind Daan for ancestors.
“Arre bhai, wo sab nahi karna! What’s the point of all these old rituals?”
But when it comes to Lakshmi Pooja, suddenly, full enthusiasm—elaborate setup, detailed rituals, and multiple rounds of aarti.
“Lakshmi ko khush rakho, paisa aayega!”
Moral: Dharma is only remembered when it brings direct benefits.
The ‘Selective Spirituality’ Mentality
Some people treat Dharma like a business contract:
Ancestor rituals? Too much effort.
Praying for money? Absolutely necessary!
Saturn’s rules? Ignore. But let’s please Lakshmi at all costs!
Reality check: You cannot selectively follow Dharma.
Ignoring Pitru Karma (ancestral obligations) but expecting Lakshmi’s blessings is like wanting fruits without watering the roots.
Jyotish Insight – Why This Fails
In Jyotish, the 9th house represents Dharma, 10th house represents karma, and the 2nd house represents ancestral wealth.
Ignoring Pind Daan, Tarpan, or ancestral duties can lead to:
Pitru Dosha – ancestral karmic blockages affecting finances, relationships, and career.
Saturn’s challenges – karmic debts manifesting through delays, struggles, and instability.
Short-lived success – Lakshmi may bless temporarily, but without honoring ancestors, wealth doesn’t sustain.
Jupiter (Guru) governs wisdom. A weak Jupiter leads to selective spirituality—picking only what is profitable and ignoring deeper responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Saturn (Shani) and Rahu will eventually remind you that no shortcuts work in the long run.
The Consequences of ‘Convenient Dharma’
A weak Jupiter or afflicted Saturn leads to:
Seeking only personal gain while avoiding responsibilities.
Rituals for money, but neglecting karmic duties.
Superficial devotion without long-term results.
A strong Jupiter and well-placed Saturn lead to:
Balanced spiritual practice, honoring both dharma and desires.
Wealth that comes with stability and fulfillment.
Generational blessings rather than karmic obstacles.
The Real Jyotish Remedy for Lakshmi’s Blessings
Pind Daan and Tarpan strengthen the family lineage and remove karmic blockages.
Lakshmi stays where Saturn’s discipline is followed.
Real prosperity comes from respecting both Dharma and Artha (wealth).
Lesson for Jyotish Students
You cannot ask for Lakshmi’s blessings while ignoring Pitru debt.
Ignoring ancestors but expecting financial success is like trying to build a mansion on a weak foundation.
