🙏SARV PITRU AMAVASYA 🙏
According to the Hindu Panchang, the Amavasya of Ashwin Month is considered as Sarva Pitru Amavasya. It is also known as Mahalya Amavasya. This year, this amavasya tithi is falling on 2nd October (Wednesday). This is the day where we bid goodbye to our ancestors while performing their Shradh. This is the day when you can pay homage to all known and unknown ancestors.
⭐For gaining the blessings of the ancestors and getting freedom from the malefic effects of ‘pitr-dosh’ – pouring water ,milk, gangajal ,black sesame seeds ,sugar, rice all mixed together , in the roots of a ‘Peepal tree’, and offer flowers and the sacred thread ,chanting ;”OM NAMO BHAGWATEY VASUDEVAYE NAMAH” and circling around the tree, seven times .
⭐Every Amavasya, offer five different kinds of fruits to a cow – the atmosphere at home shall always remain auspicious and happy.
⭐To subdue the ill-effects of Saturn [Shani Dev] – every Amavasya ,offer mustard oil ,black ‘urad dal’ [black pulses],an iron piece ,black cloth , and a blue flower to the deity and chant the Vedic mantra of Lord Saturn – 101 times – “OM NILANJANSAMABHAS RAVIPUTRA YAMAGRAJAM . CHAYAMARTANDSAMBHUT NAMAMI SANESHCHARAM” –
This shall subdue the anger and malefic effects of Saturn and also, other planets .
Lighting a mustard oil lamp, underneath a ‘Peepal Tree’ every Amavasya ,pleases the ancestors and the gods.
