What are ancestral problems? Ancestral problems is the distress caused to descendants by the
subtle bodies of their ancestors who have passed away (died) and it manifests in many ways
in our day-to-day lives. It creates obstacles in both, our worldly lives as well as spiritual

(2) A number of family members (e.g. 4 out of 5) are suffering with any of the above
mentioned issues/problems simultaneously. The reason that all the family members
get affected is that they all have the same ancestors.

What can we do to protect ourselves against ancestral problems? Problems caused due to
departed ancestors are a specific type of spiritual difficulty. Therefore we can successfully
overcome them only by applying a specific spiritual remedy. Psychological and physical
remedies simply cannot overcome the root cause of the problem and can only at best provide
some symptomatic relief. For example, if a person is suffering from skin rash caused by
ancestors, relevant medical treatment can at best provide relief but not cure the rash
completely or prevent it from occurring again.
