Amavasya kya hoti hai?
Amavasya (अमावस्या) Hindu panchang ki wo tithi hai jab chandrama (moon) sky mein bilkul nahi dikhai deta — yani "no moon day." Har chandra maas (lunar month) ke krishna paksha ke aakhiri din Amavasya padti hai, aur phir agle din se shukla paksha ki pratipada shuru hoti hai. Saal mein lagbhag 12 Amavasya aati hain, aur har ek ka apna alag dharmik, jyotish aur aadhyatmik mahatva hai. Spiritual seekers aur sanatan dharm ke manne wale is din ko pitra tarpan, daan, mauna vrat aur Shiv-Shakti ki aaradhana ke liye visheshroop se chunte hain.
Amavasya ko "Darsha" bhi kaha jata hai. Vedic jyotish ke anusaar is din Surya aur Chandrama ek hi raashi mein hote hain, isliye energy bahut tez aur introspective hoti hai. Yahi reason hai ki Amavasya par meditation, mantra jaap aur ancestor rituals ka phal manifold mana jata hai.

Agar aapko puja ka exact muhurat chahiye to tithi ka "start time" aur "end time" dekhein — kyonki Hindu puja usi din ki jati hai jab Amavasya tithi sunrise ke time active hoti hai. Kuchh Amavasya do din tak phaili hoti hai; aise mein "Darsha Amavasya" (shraaddh ke liye) aur "Snana Daan Amavasya" alag-alag dinon par aati hain.
Amavasya Puja Vidhi — Step by Step
Amavasya puja vidhi simple hai, lekin niyam aur shraddha dono zaroori hain. Niche di gayi sampoorna vidhi follow karein:
1. Snaan aur Sankalp
Subah brahma muhurat (lagbhag 4:30–5:30 AM) mein uthein. Pani mein Ganga jal, til aur kuch bund gaumutra milakar snaan karein. Agar ghar ke paas nadi, kund ya tirth hai to wahan jaakar snaan karna sarvashreshtha mana gaya hai. Snaan ke baad saaf, dhule hue vastra (preferably white or yellow) pehnein aur "Om Namah Shivaya" ka smaran karte hue puja ka sankalp lein.
2. Pitra Tarpan
Amavasya par pitra tarpan ka vishesh mahatva hai. Dakshin disha ki ore mukh karke, kush, til, jau aur jal ko haath mein lekar apne pitron (dada-dadi, nana-nani, mata-pita jin ka dehant ho chuka hai) ka naam lekar "Pitra devta" ko arpit karein. Mantra: "ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः।" Tin baar jal arpit karein.
3. Shiv-Parvati aur Hanuman Puja
Shivling par doodh, dahi, shahad, ghee aur Gangajal se abhishek karein. Bilvapatra, dhatura aur safed phool chadhayein. Hanuman ji ko sindoor aur chameli ka tel chadhakar Hanuman Chalisa ka paath karein — Amavasya par Hanuman puja negative energy aur shani dosha door karne mein shighra prabhavi hai.
4. Daan aur Bhojan
Puja ke baad brahman, garib ya kisi needy ko ann, vastra, til, chawal aur jute ya chhatri daan karein. Shani Amavasya aur Mauni Amavasya par kaale til aur sarson tel ka daan vishesh phaldayi hota hai. Din bhar sattvik bhojan karein — pyaaz, lahsun, mans, madira sarvatha varjit hai.
5. Mantra Jaap aur Dhyan
"ॐ नमः शिवाय," Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, aur Gayatri Mantra ka 108 ya 1008 baar jaap karein. Rudraksha mala par jaap karne se mantra ka prabhav aur vibration badhti hai. Agar aap meditation karte hain, to Amavasya ka silence aur sattvik urja antar-mukhi (introspective) sadhana ke liye uttam hai.
Amavasya ke Prakar (Types) aur Unka Mahatva
Saal ki har Amavasya ka ek vishesh naam aur udeshya hai:
- Somvati Amavasya — Jab Amavasya Somvar (Monday) ko padti hai. Suhagini mahilaen peepal ki parikrama karti hain aur akhand saubhagya ki prarthna karti hain.
- Shani Amavasya / Shanishchari Amavasya — Shanivar ko padne wali Amavasya. Shani dosha, sade-sati aur dhaiya se mukti ke liye Shani stotra aur Hanuman puja ki jati hai.
- Mauni Amavasya — Magha maas mein, is din mauna vrat (silence) rakha jata hai. Prayagraj Kumbh mein isi din sabse bada snaan hota hai.
- Hariyali Amavasya — Shravan maas mein, is din paudha-ropan (tree planting) ka vidhan hai.
- Sarvapitri / Mahalaya Amavasya — Ashwin maas mein, Pitru Paksha ka aakhiri din. Sabhi pitron ko tarpan diya jata hai.
- Diwali / Kartik Amavasya — Lakshmi-Ganesh pujan, deep daan, aur dhan samriddhi ka parv.
Amavasya par Kya Karein aur Kya Na Karein
Karein: Snaan, daan, tarpan, mauna vrat, mantra jaap, Shiv-Hanuman puja, peepal pradakshina, deepdaan, aur sattvik bhojan.

Kaun log Amavasya Vrat aur Puja Zaroor Karein?
Jin logon ke janam-kundli mein Shani, Rahu ya Ketu ki mahadasha chal rahi ho, sade-sati ya dhaiya ka dosha ho, pitra dosha ho, ya ghar mein akarana vighn-badhayein aa rahi hon — unke liye Amavasya puja atyant labhdayak hai. Isi tarah, jo log aadhyatmik prerna, mansik shanti, aur ancestors ka ashirwad chahte hain, unke liye bhi Amavasya ek shaktishali tithi hai.

Amavasya se Judi Common Galatfahmiyan
Bahut log maante hain ki Amavasya "ashubh" din hai — ye poori tarah sahi nahi hai. Amavasya adhyatmik roop se bahut shaktishali hai, bas uski urja introspective aur tamasik hoti hai. Agar aap sahi vidhi se puja, daan aur sadhana karein, to Amavasya aapke jeevan mein positivity, pitra ashirwad aur dhan laabh laati hai.
