Amavasya coincides with Shani Jayanti.
Jyeshtha Amavasya Tithi will fall on Thursday, June 6. The Amavasya Tithi will begin at 07:54 pm on June 5 and will end the next day at 6:07 pm
The New Moon, or Amavasya, is considered very important in the Hindu religion. On this day people usually bathe, donate and make offerings to their ancestors. Along with this, Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi are also worshiped on Amavasya. This New Moon is important as it falls in the month of Jyeshtha and will coincide with Shani Jayanti and Vat Savitri Vrat. Did you know that any charity work done on Amavasya Tithi will be fruitful and feeding cows, dogs or crows is believed to be auspicious?
Bhopal resident astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma explained why feeding animals or birds is considered special in Amavasya. Well, according to Panchang, Jyeshtha Amavasya Tithi will fall on Thursday, June 6. The Amavasya Tithi will begin at 07:54 pm on June 5 and will end the next day at 6:07 pm
According to religious beliefs, feeding a cow, dog or crow on the day of Amavasya tithi is considered fruitful. It is believed that by doing this, one gets relief from Pitrudosh and seeks blessings from the ancestors. It is believed that the ancestors visit the descendants on Amavasya and therefore food is offered to the animals or birds.
In Hinduism, it is believed to be important to offer tarpan to ancestors. If the ancestors are happy, the descendants will be abundantly blessed and will not have to suffer. This time Amavasya will coincide with Shani Jayanti and it is important to also seek the blessings of Shani Dev. If Shani Dev gets angry, the person may face tough times. Therefore, on the day of Jyeshtha Amavasya, it is important to please Shani Dev and the ancestors.
On the day of Jyeshtha Amavasya, people should take bath early in the morning in the Holy River Ganga or mix Ganga water in a bucket, wear clean clothes and offer prayers as per rituals. After this, water is offered to the Sun God and meditated. Immediately after this, people should donate to the needy people according to their ability. From food to clothes, you can donate anything.
