Thai Amavasya 2021 - Tarpanam At Kasi

Thai Amavasya is the first New Moon after the Sun starts moving towards the Northern hemisphere. In the Vedic calendar, the northward movement of the Sun marks the Dawn in Heaven and fills the earth plane with the auspicious energy of renewal. The Sun represents the soul in Vedic astrology. It will be transiting Capricorn, the 10th sign of the natural zodiac, which represents Karma (actions) and ruled by Saturn, the planet of karma. During this time, your action towards liberating your ancestors by performing Tarpanam, which is a food offering to them, will be fruitful. This placement of the Sun in Saturn’s house can help you reduce the impact of ancestral karma and enable you to receive their blessings for you, your children, and future generations. 

On Thai Amavasya 2021, AstroVed will be performing Tarpanam at Kasi, one of the most important places for performing Tarpanam for ancestors. Among all other places to perform Tarpanam, scriptures have decreed Kasi to be the greatest. The significance of the city Kasi has been mentioned in the sacred text Skanda Purana. It states that it is the sacred place for securing ‘Punya’ (result of good deeds) of the good deeds done in the past and the future and is the holiest of all the places, which can absolve all your sins and grant Moksha (salvation).
