Amavasya, the New Moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar, is a time for honoring ancestors and seeking their blessings. Vedic astrologer Astro Arun Pandit emphasizes the importance of this day for connecting with one's lineage. He suggests performing simple rituals at home to promote harmony and positive energy. The ritual begins with purification through bathing, followed by an offering of water mixed with black sesame seeds (kaale til), made while facing south, a direction symbolically linked to ancestors. During this offering, practitioners are encouraged to chant the mantra: “ॐ पितृगणाय विद्महे जगत धारिणी धीमहि तन्नो पितृो प्रचोदयात्।” This practice is believed to strengthen spiritual connections and enhance family well-being. Readers are advised to seek professional guidance for any spiritual practices.
