Somvati Amavasya Remedies: Perform These Rituals at Night
The Amavasya falling on a Monday, known as Somvati Amavasya, holds significant importance in Hinduism. It is believed that performing pujas and rituals dedicated to Lord Shiva on this day can strengthen the weak lunar influence in one's horoscope. Religious texts emphasize the importance of charity on this day, believing it brings blessings from Lord Shiva, promoting prosperity and happiness in one's home.
Here are some suggestions and rituals associated with Somvati Amavasya:
- Performing Rituals: According to astrology, taking a dip in a sacred river or performing pujas using water mixed with Ganges water on Somvati Amavasya is believed to offer special benefits. It is also said that circumambulating Tulsi (Basil) plant 108 times after bathing alleviates poverty, and offering raw milk to a Shiva lingam in the evening can resolve pending matters and bring financial gain.
- Worship Lord Ganesha: Astrologers suggest worshipping Lord Ganesha on Somvati Amavasya. This is believed to invite Lord Ganesha's blessings, ensuring prosperity and happiness in the home. Lighting a lamp before a Ganesha statue on the night of Amavasya is said to attract the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, bringing wealth and abundance.
- Offer Ghee and Jaggery: Burning ghee and jaggery in a fire made of cow dung on the night of Amavasya is considered auspicious. This ritual is believed to mitigate financial problems, protect one's business from losses, and invoke the blessings of ancestors.
Besides these rituals, it is also believed that placing a spoonful of milk and a coin in a well on the night of Amavasya can safeguard one from financial losses.
