According to Hindu Panchang, the Amavasya (new moon) day of Ashadh month holds significant spiritual and astrological importance every year. In 2025, this sacred date falls on June 25th (Wednesday). This year’s Ashadh Amavasya is particularly special as it coincides with three major auspicious yogas – Guru-Aditya Yoga, Gajakesari Yoga, and Vriddhi Yoga. These yogas are believed to bring positive changes to everyone’s lives, and particularly beneficial for those born in the Taurus, Libra, and Dhanu (Sagittarius) zodiac signs, potentially opening new paths to fortune.
Ashadh Amavasya: Spiritual and Religious Significance
The day of Ashadh Amavasya is considered highly auspicious for performing rituals like Pitra Tarpan (ancestor worship), donation, bathing, and prayers. Offering food and clothes to Brahmins, and taking a holy bath in sacred rivers, is believed to bring peace to the souls of ancestors and alleviate Pitri Dosha (ancestor’s affliction).
Furthermore, Ashadh Amavasya is also considered a special day for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that performing the ritualistic worship of Lakshmi on this day ensures prosperity, wealth, happiness, and good fortune in the home. Offering water to the Peepal tree (Banyan tree) and performing Saturn and Rahu remedies also helps to dispel these doshas (imbalances).
