On the final day of pitru paksha …

We remember our family members that have moved on.

Helping bring peace to their souls and help them attain moksha or liberation.

Each of the six years since Manjula died we’ve celebrated her in many ways including puja on the anniversary of her death and on her birthday.

Ina would visit us every year in August and died in 2024,

Lucie died in 2025.

Tomorrow, on the final day of Pitru Paksha (21st September) we’ll remember MAnjula, Lucie and Ina with a special puja, all three of them together as they’re family.
