Pausha Amavasya, the new moon day of the Pausha month, is the next upcoming Amavasya and will be observed on 19 December 2025 (Friday). This Amavasya is considered especially powerful because it is the last Amavasya of the year, making it ideal for release, purification, and spiritual reset.
Amavasya is the phase when the Moon is not visible in the sky. Spiritually, this darkness symbolizes ending old karmic patterns, honoring ancestors, and preparing space for new beginnings.
🌟 Spiritual Significance of Pausha Amavasya
Amavasya is deeply connected with:
- Pitru Shanti (ancestor peace)
- Karma cleansing
- Inner healing and silence
- Letting go of emotional and energetic baggage
Pausha Amavasya holds extra importance because it comes during a time of stillness and introspection, encouraging us to slow down, reflect, and realign our energy before the new cycle begins.
🙏 What You Should Do on Pausha Amavasya
1️⃣ Take a Morning Purifying Bath
Wake up early and take a bath, preferably before sunrise.
If possible, add a few drops of Ganga jal or rock salt to the water to cleanse negative energy and calm the mind.
2️⃣ Perform Pitru Tarpan or Offer Prayers
Offer water mixed with black sesame seeds (til) to your ancestors while silently expressing gratitude.
This simple act is believed to:
- Bring peace to ancestral souls
- Remove unseen obstacles
- Improve family harmony
3️⃣ Practice Charity (Daan)
Charity on Amavasya multiplies its spiritual merit. You may donate:
- Food, clothes, grains, or blankets
- Money to the needy
- Fodder to cows or stray animals
Even a small donation made with a pure heart brings strong positive karma.
4️⃣ Light a Lamp in the Evening
Light a diya with mustard oil or ghee near the entrance of your home or temple area.
This helps invite positive energy, protection, and clarity.
5️⃣ Chant Mantras or Meditate
Spend a few minutes in silence or mantra chanting.
Recommended mantras:
- Om Namah Shivaya
- Om Pitridevaya Namah
Meditation on Amavasya helps release emotional heaviness and mental stress.
🚫 What to Avoid on Amavasya
- Avoid arguments, anger, and harsh speech
- Avoid alcohol and non-vegetarian food
- Avoid starting major new ventures or celebrations
- Stay away from excessive noise and distractions
Amavasya is best used for inner work, not outward expansion.
🌿 Simple Amavasya Remedy for Positivity
Before sleeping, mentally release what no longer serves you — fear, guilt, or past pain.
Make a silent intention:
“I release old energies and welcome peace, clarity, and protection.”
This practice helps align your subconscious with new beginnings.
✨ Final Thoughts
Pausha Amavasya is not a day to fear — it is a powerful spiritual pause.
When observed with awareness, devotion, and simplicity, it can help you:
- Heal karmic patterns
- Receive ancestral blessings
- Gain emotional stability
- Enter the new phase of life with clarity
Use this Amavasya as a sacred reset for your mind, soul, and energy.
