WHY CROWS ARE CONSIDERED AS OUR ANCESTORS .


Crow is the vahana of shani who represents the karmas of the past.We are indebted to our ancestors who gave us birth. So offering foods to crow is regards as pacifying hunger of ancestors wherever and whichever form they are reborn.It is believed that  the crows are related to our ancestors from the 'treta yuga'.


As per this popular legend,once Jayant the son of God Indra ,disguised as a form of crow and hurt Sita. In turn God Rama took hay and used it as an arrow and parted one of the eyes of Jayant.
After realizing his mistake ,Jayant asked for Lord Ramas forgiveness. Then Rama forgave him and blessed him with a boon that whenever food is served to crows it will reach the ancestors.
