Thai Amavasai 2022

Feed Ancestral Souls: Renew Your Life

Thai Amavasya is the special New Moon for Ancestors that takes place when the Sun starts moving towards the Northern hemisphere, called the ‘renewal’ phase. The Sun will be in the sign Capricorn, and this period is called the ‘Dawn in Heaven.’ Feeding the souls of your ancestors by performing a ritual called Tarpanam when the Sun is strongest enables you to receive your ancestors’ blessings in abundance to renew your life.

Significance of Thai Amavasya Ancestral Ceremonies

Dr. Pillai says that it is extremely difficult to progress in life without ancestral blessings. According to the sacred text Brahma Purana, departed ancestors’ souls are elevated beings equivalent to gods and deserve your Tarpanam offerings. Your ancestors, when appeased with special prayer offerings according to scriptures, can become your greatest benefactors.

Thai Amavasya is also one of the important New Moons to reduce the impact of Pitru Dosha, known as ancestral affliction. This affliction, which happens due to non-performance of Tarpanam (Ancestral Offerings), can impact you to a great extent and may manifest as prolonged illnesses, misunderstandings at home, no career progress, financial instability, and progeny-related issues.
To satisfy your ancestors and gain their abundant blessings, AstroVed will perform chanting of Pitru Suktam, a hymn in praise of ancestors, on the auspicious New Moon powertime of Thai Amavasai. This will be followed by a Grand 5-priest Fire Lab to Goddess Pratyangira to connect with her Divine vibrations and gain her grace to obliterate obstacles, bad karma, eliminate effects of black magic, and usher in prosperity.
