The Most Powerful Ritual To Perform On 31 December Night

Devotees are advised to observe night-long worship and chant the holy names and mantras of Lord Vishnu. According to spiritual scholars, those who sincerely worship Lord Vishnu on Ekadashi night are forever blessed by Goddess Lakshmi.

Renowned astrologer Anish Vyas recommends a particularly powerful remedy:Create a small mound of rice at your prayer altar, light a sacred lamp, and recite the Shri Sukta with devotion. The following morning, on 1 January, donate this rice to the needy. This ritual is believed to remove obstacles, accelerate stalled work, and open new doors of progress and financial growth.

Special Remedy For Wealth And Removing Obstacles

For those experiencing financial delays or repeated obstacles, another sacred remedy is recommended. On the night of 31 December, fill an earthen pot completely with wheat grains and place it in your home temple. On the first day of the New Year, donate this wheat-filled vessel to those in need. This act of charity symbolises the offering of scarcity and invites abundance, stability and steady growth into one’s life throughout 2026.

While New Year celebrations mark joy and new beginnings, embracing the spiritual power of 31 December night can shape the course of the coming year in profound ways. A few minutes of sincere devotion may bring twelve months of prosperity, peace and divine protection.
