Aadi Amavasai Special Pooja

The month of Aadi is considered highly auspicious when divine forces bless the earth with grace and answer your prayers. Offering Tarpanam rituals for your ancestors on Aadi Amavasya can help their souls attain Moksha (salvation), and they, in turn, bestow their blessings on you.On Amavasya (New Moon) day, the Sun and the Moon occupy the same sign. The Sun signifies the father and soul; whereas the Moon signifies the mother and mind. Aadi Amavasya is of great importance because the Sun and the Moon occupy Cancer, the sign of Moon.It is believed that on Aadi Amavasya, spirits are more willing to accept the offerings and are satisfied when their successors perform Tarpanam rituals for them. In addition, every year, during the month of Aadi, the Sun starts its movement towards the South, which is called ‘Dakshinayana’ (Dakshin means south, and Ayana means to travel). Since this is the first New Moon day during this period, it is regarded as the more powerful day for performing Tarpanam rituals.
