Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
What if I have spoken harshly to my parents or could not serve them?
Don't give your parents sorrow; ask forgiveness
The one you abuse is the same mother who carried you in her womb. Do not give your parents sorrow. If you could not serve them and can do no other remedy in Pitru Paksha, light three lamps toward the south and ask your ancestors' forgiveness.
I pray: do not give your parents sorrow. Even so, if it is Pitru Paksha and you cannot do any of these remedies, light three lamps towards the south.
