Vaishakh Amavasya 2025: Significance, Remedies, and Benefits of Pleasing Ancestors
Vaishakh Amavasya 2025:Vaishakh Amavasya 2025 is being celebrated today, 27 April 2025. In Sanatan Dharma, the day of Amavasya (New Moon) holds special importance. Every month, Amavasya is regarded as a sacred time for performing religious activities, offering respect to ancestors, and removing obstacles from life. Especially, the Amavasya of the Vaishakh month is considered extremely auspicious for ancestral worship and seeking their blessings.
It is believed that performing specific rituals like tarpan, pind daan, and daan-punya (charity) on this day grants Akshaya Punya (eternal merit) and frees individuals from Pitru Dosh, leading to prosperity, peace, and happiness in life.

Importance of Vaishakh Amavasya in Hinduism
In Hindu beliefs, Amavasya is a time when the energies are highly sensitive. Vaishakh Amavasya is even more special because it falls during the Vaishakh month, a highly sacred period in the Hindu calendar. The day is dedicated to honoring ancestors (Pitru) and praying for their peace and liberation.
According to scriptures, offering prayers and performing rituals on Vaishakh Amavasya can eliminate long-standing difficulties related to:
Health
Wealth
Career
Family relations
It is said that the unfulfilled desires of ancestors sometimes create barriers in the lives of their descendants, known as Pitru Dosh. To remove these obstacles, certain remedies performed on the night of Vaishakh Amavasya are highly effective.
Special Remedies to Perform on Vaishakh Amavasya Night (27 April 2025)
1. Perform Tarpan
Meditate deeply on your ancestors and offer water (tarpan) to them with devotion. Use black sesame seeds, barley, and kusha grass in the water. Facing the south direction, offer the water slowly while taking the names of your ancestors. This ritual is believed to grant peace to their souls and bring blessings to your life.
2. Daan Deep (Lamp Offering)
Light a lamp of mustard oil under a Peepal tree at night. While lighting the lamp, seek forgiveness for any mistakes knowingly or unknowingly committed towards the ancestors and pray for their blessings. This simple act is believed to attract ancestral blessings and removes negativity from life.
3. Offer Food (Anna Daan)
Prepare pure and sattvic (simple) food, including the favorite dishes of your ancestors if known. Donate this food to the needy, the poor, or Brahmins. It is said that feeding someone on behalf of ancestors directly reaches them and satisfies their spiritual hunger.
4. Make Donations (Daan)
Charity is highly recommended on Amavasya. You can donate according to your capacity—food, clothes, money, or daily-use items. Donations made in the name of ancestors bring peace to them and also attract positivity, growth, and good fortune in your life.
5. Recite Pitru Stotra
Chanting the Pitru Stotra or Pitru Sukta is a powerful way to pacify Pitru Dosha. If you cannot recite, you can even listen to these sacred hymns online. It is believed that this spiritual practice pleases the ancestors and removes ancestral-related hurdles.
