Is Amavasya Auspicious?

Amavasya is considered inauspicious in many cultures worldwide. The energies present during this time can harm our physical and mental well-being. This time of the month is devoted to prayers and offerings. One can also remember their forefathers to minimize the negativity associated with this Hindu tithi.

Some people don't work on Amavasya. And any auspicious work or traveling is also avoided. Many devotees fast on Amavasya to attain success and happiness, and to seek the blessings of their ancestors.

Mythological Importance Of Amavasya

According to Garuda Purana, an Indian scripture, it is believed that Lord Vishnu said that Amavasya is the day when one's ancestors visit earth. If their descendants ignore their presence, it might displease their forefathers. It is also suggested to pray to Lord Vishnu on this day to fulfill all your desires.

There are some festivals associated with Amavasya, with Diwali being the most significant one. Deepawali is when there is no moon in the sky and when the evil powers are strong. Here the negative spirits are warded off with the lights of diyas and candles.

  • Mahalaya Amavasya
    This Amavasya occurs on the last day of Mahalaya Paksha. It is a great day to do charity and humanitarian work. It is observed in September or October. It is also the best day to make offerings to the deceased ancestors. And for this reason, it is also known as Pitru Paksha.
  • Somvati Amavasya
    It is the one that is observed on a Monday. Besides fulfillment of desires, the day holds special significance for married women. They fast for the long lives of their husband on this day.
