In Hinduism, the Amavasya tithi (new moon day) is considered highly auspicious and powerful. The Amavasya in the Jyeshtha month, known as Jyeshtha Amavasya, is particularly auspicious and fruitful. It is not only an occasion to remember ancestors but also a time when practices, donations, and remedies performed on this day can bring positive changes to life. Furthermore, Shani Jayanti (Saturn's birthday) is also celebrated on this day, enhancing its significance.
In 2025, Jyeshtha Amavasya will begin on May 26 at 12:14 PM and conclude on May 27 at 8:34 AM. According to religious traditions, the Amavasya tithi is considered valid based on the Udayatithi (sunrise tithi), therefore, the night of May 27 will also be considered special. Seven miraculous remedies performed on this night can fulfill desires, provide liberation from negative energy, and open doors to wealth and prosperity.
Religious Significance of Jyeshtha Amavasya
Jyeshtha Amavasya is observed annually on the last tithi of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the Jyeshtha month. This day also marks the birthday of Lord Shani (Saturn), making the worship and veneration of Shani Dev particularly important. Saturn is considered the planet that delivers the results of our actions and difficult obstacles in life. Therefore, remedies performed on this day help to obtain Saturn's grace and provide relief to those facing challenging times.
The night of Amavasya witnesses the best flow of spiritual energy, making the effects of performed remedies immediate and profound. Religious scriptures also describe Amavasya as an opportune time to express reverence for ancestors and seek their blessings. On this day, yoga and meditation can lead to spiritual progress.
Light a Lamp at the Main Door
Lighting a sesame oil lamp at the main entrance of the house after sunset on the night of Jyeshtha Amavasya is considered extremely auspicious. This remedy removes negative energy from the home and invites peace and happiness. It also attracts the grace of Goddess Lakshmi. If you desire a positive energy flow in your home, perform this simple remedy.
Donate Black Sesame Seeds and Mustard Seeds to Shani Dev
Since Shani Jayanti also falls on this day, donating black sesame seeds, mustard seeds, and oil to the temple is considered very fruitful for obtaining the grace of Shani Dev. This remedy provides relief from Shani Dosha (Saturn's affliction), Sade Sati (seven-and-a-half year period of Saturn's transit), or Dhaiyya (two-and-a-half year period of Saturn's transit) and removes obstacles in life. Maintain pure intentions while donating and chant the Shani mantra, "Om Sham Shaneshcharaya Namaha".
Burn Cloves and Camphor
If your home experiences financial difficulties, discord, or lethargy, burn cloves and camphor in a bowl on the night of Jyeshtha Amavasya. Let the smoke spread throughout the house. This not only removes negative energy but also brings mental peace and financial stability to the home. This is a simple and effective remedy that can be performed in every household.
Light a Four-Faced Lamp in the South Direction
Lighting a four-faced lamp in the south direction of the house on this day is considered very beneficial for obtaining the blessings of ancestors and liberation from Pitru Dosha (ancestral debt). This lamp should be of sesame oil and have four cotton wicks. This remedy pleases the ancestors, brings speed to stalled tasks, and maintains mental and familial balance.
Chant the Pitru Mantra
Chanting the Pitru Mantra, "Om Pitruganaya Vidmahe Jagat Dharini Dhimahi Tanno Pitru Prachodayat," is considered highly auspicious for pleasing the ancestors. Chanting this mantra 108 times brings the blessings of ancestors and protects against unseen obstacles in life. Perform this remedy in a secluded and peaceful place to maintain focus.
Feed Wheat Balls to Fish
In the evening, visit a river, pond, or lake and feed small wheat flour balls to the fish. This is a highly meritorious act. It not only provides peace of mind but also helps in overcoming debt, enemy obstacles, and financial burdens. It's an expression of gratitude towards nature and living beings, leading to positive energy.
Practice Meditation and Spiritual Sadhana
If possible, meditate in a secluded place on the night of Jyeshtha Amavasya. This night is considered excellent for spiritual advancement. Meditation strengthens the connection between the soul and the universe. Yogis and spiritual practitioners perform special practices on this day. You can also sit in silence for some time and chant "Om Namah Shivaya" or "Om Shanti Shanti Shanti," which will alleviate inner restlessness and bring mental peace.
These seven effective remedies of Jyeshtha Amavasya not only provide spiritual peace but also fulfill all the desires of life. On this sacred occasion, adopt these remedies with faith and devotion; negativity will be removed from your life, and prosperity, happiness, and peace will prevail.
