Mauni Amavasya: Do This To Get Rid Of Pitru Dosha & Kaal Sarp Dosha

Mauni Amavasya 2020: The Hindu Panchang notes down 12 New Moon nights. Of these, the Mauni Amavasya has a special significance attached to it. 

As per the ancient scriptures, Mauni Amavasya, which falls in the month of Magha, is exceptional — doing charity, bathing in the sacred Ganga or any holy river while remaining silent (Maun), are considered especially auspicious on this day. Religious beliefs say that the word ‘Mauni’ actually comes from the word ‘Muni’ meaning saint; therefore fasting and bathing in a holy river while staying mum can help you ascend to the position of a Saint. Mauni Amavasya 2020 is special because this year, Saturn is also making its transit on this very day, to enter its sign Capricorn after 30 years.

1. Bath in a holy river on Mauni Amavasya, and then worship the silver idol of a Naag-Nagin couple. Present white flowers to them as an oblation, and then offer the figurine to flowing water. This gives you freedom from the Kaal Sarp Dosha. 
2. Recite the Laghu Rudra yourself, after bathing. If you face some problems in reading it yourself, then you can listen to it from a Brahman. 
3. Chanting the Nava Naga Stotram on Magha Amavasya is also beneficial. 
4. Do charity for a Brahman or a needy person, as per your capabilities.

Significance of Mauni Amavasya

In general, any auspicious task is prohibited during the New Moon. However, from a spiritual perspective and according to Vedic Astrology and Puranas, there is a special significance attached to each Amavasya. According to scriptures, one can eliminate several doshas by fasting on a New Moon. 

As per mythology, Lord Manu was born on Mauni Amavasya which is another reason behind its name. Bathing in holy rivers, doing charity, fasting, and remaining mum are considered an essential part of its commemoration. Moreover, if someone cannot fast on this day, then they can still celebrate Mauni Amavasya by eating only sweet food. Bathing in holy rivers on this day, not only brings peace to your ancestors but also brings a multifold increase in your virtues.
