Margashirsha Amavasya holds special significance in Hinduism. This day is dedicated to the worship of Lord Vishnu, self-purification, and charitable acts. The month of Margashirsha is mentioned by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, where he tells to Arjuna, “I am Margashirsha among the months.”
Significance of Margashirsha Amavasya
Amavasya is considered a symbol of new beginnings. On Margashirsha Amavasya, devotees can establish a deep connection with God through meditation, chanting, and penance. It is an ideal day for self-reflection and correcting past mistakes.
Taking a dip in sacred rivers on this day is considered highly auspicious. Devotees also worship the Sun God, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Krishna. It is believed that sincere worship on this day, along with performing rites like offering water to ancestors, Pind Daan, and donations, removes all sorrows and grants blessings from ancestors.
Feed Brahmins and the Needy
Feeding Brahmins and the underprivileged on Margashirsha Amavasya provides peace to the souls of their ancestors. This act pleases the ancestors, who then bless the family members with prosperity, happiness, and good health.
In Sanatan tradition, donation holds great importance. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna emphasizes the significance of charity:
दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे।
देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम्।।
Mean:- Charity given with the understanding of duty, without expecting any reward, and at the right time and place to deserving individuals is considered sattvic (pure) in nature.
On the auspicious occasion of Margashirsha Amavasya, become a part of the noble cause of feeding the needy and the underprivileged. By contributing to this cause, you share in the merit of this divine act.
Your donation will help provide food to Brahmins and the needy.
