India, Oct. 10 -- The last day of Pitru Paksha offers you a moment to remember the people who came before you. On October 10, 2026, Mahalaya Amavasya, also known as Sarva Pitru Amavasya, marks the concluding day of this period dedicated to ancestral remembrance.

For many Hindu families, this day holds deep spiritual meaning. People perform rituals to honour their ancestors, but the occasion can also invite you to think about the lessons, traditions and knowledge that earlier generations passed down to you.

Sadhguru offers a wider perspective on this tradition. In his discussion of Mahalaya Amavasya, he highlights the contributions of generations that helped shape human life.

Your life connects you to generations you may never have met....
