Mauni Amavasya 2025: Know Exact Date, Muhurat, And Whom To Worship On This Auspicious Day
Amavasya holds great significance for performing rituals to bring peace to the souls of ancestors. On this day, charity, holy baths, and offering tarpan are believed to cleanse the sins.
Mauni Amavasya 2025: Amavasya, considered highly auspicious in Hinduism, holds immense significance in religious scriptures. The 16th phase of the Moon is referred to as "Ama," encompassing the energy of all 16 phases. On this day, rituals dedicated to ancestors (Pitras) and the worship of the Peepal tree are traditionally performed. It is believed that observing these practices removes obstacles and brings prosperity.
Every month witnesses an Amavasya, but Shani Amavasya (falling on Saturdays) and Somvati Amavasya (falling on Mondays) are particularly significant. According to the Hindu calendar, the year 2025 will see two Shani Amavasya and one Somvati Amavasya.
Why Amavasya Is Significant:
Amavasya marks the final day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the Moon) when the Moon is not visible in the sky. Religious traditions recommend worshipping Lord Shiva, Goddess Lakshmi, and Goddess Kali on this day. Additionally, it is believed that ancestors visit the earthly realm on Amavasya. Therefore, performing rituals, donations, and prayers for them is said to lead to blessings, ensuring abundance and harmony in life.
Amavasya Rituals:
As per Hindu beliefs, Amavasya is ideal for performing ancestral rituals (Shradh) and making offerings. On this day, offerings such as food, clothes, and money are made to satisfy the souls of ancestors, bringing peace and prosperity to the family. The day is also considered ideal for meditation, charity, and spiritual practices.
Devotees are advised to take a holy dip in a sacred river or water body and worship Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. These practices are believed to calm Pitra Dosha (ancestral curses) and attract blessings for overall well-being.
