Shanichari Amavasya

Shani Amavasya is considered a very auspicious and important day in Hinduism. This day is especially dedicated to the offering of water to ancestors, self-reflection and service. Shani Amavasya is related to Shani Dev, who is considered the god of justice, karma and charity. On this day, bathing in holy rivers, worshiping Shani Dev and serving the poor and needy leads to special virtue.

This time Shani Amavasya holds special importance, because this time on Shani Amavasya, Shani Dev will leave Aquarius and enter Pisces. This coincidence is an excellent opportunity to get the blessings of Shani and get rid of sorrow, suffering and obstacles in life.

Importance of Shani Amavasya

The day of Shani Amavasya is a symbol of self-restraint, penance and following religion. On this day, observing silence, meditating and being absorbed in good deeds calms the mind and purifies the soul. According to the scriptures, bathing in the Ganga, donating to the needy, and offering tarpan to the ancestors satisfies the ancestors, which brings happiness, peace and prosperity in the family.

In Sanatan Dharma, donation on Amavasya has been given special importance, which has been mentioned in many texts. While mentioning donation in the Srimad Bhagwat Gita, it has been said –

Daatvyamiti yaddanam diyate’anupkarine.

(दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे।)

Deshe kale cha paatra cha taddanam sattvikam smritam.

(देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम्।।)

That is, the donation which is given without any selfishness, at the right time and to the right person, is called Sattvik donation.
