Mumbai: The grand spiritual event of Maha Kumbh 2025 marks its third Amrit Snan on the auspicious occasion of Mauni Amavasya. Thousands of devotees have gathered in Prayagraj to take a holy dip in the sacred rivers, believing that doing so cleanses them of sins and brings divine blessings. It is said that taking a dip during the Maha Kumbh not only washes away past misdeeds but also grants spiritual and material prosperity.
However, not everyone can make the journey to Prayagraj for this sacred bath. If you are unable to attend, you can still achieve similar spiritual benefits by following certain rituals and practices at home. Here’s how you can receive the Punya (merit) of Amrit Snan even without visiting the Kumbh Mela.
Significance of Snan and Daan on Mauni Amavasya
According to Hindu traditions, bathing in sacred rivers and performing charitable acts on Mauni Amavasya hold immense significance. It is believed that on this day, the ancestors (Pitras) descend to the earthly realm, and offering prayers, performing Tarpan, Pind Daan, and Shraddh rituals please them, bringing their blessings to the family.
Even if you cannot visit a holy river, you can still attain Punya (spiritual merit) by following a simple sacred bathing ritual at home.
How to Perform Amrit Snan at Home
If you are unable to take a holy dip at Prayagraj, you can follow this simple method to achieve similar benefits at home:
- Mix Gangajal (holy Ganges water) into your bathwater.
- Bathe during the auspicious time while chanting the sacred mantra: “Gange cha Yamune chaiva Godavari Saraswati, Narmade Sindhu Kaveri jale asmin sannidhim kuru”.
- After bathing, offer Arghya (water offering) to the Sun God.
- Maintain silence for some time, as observing a vow of silence (Moun Vrat) enhances spiritual power.
By following this simple process, you can gain Punya equivalent to taking a dip in the sacred rivers during Mahakumbh.
Mantras for Receiving Ancestors’ Blessings
Reciting these mantras on Mauni Amavasya is believed to bring peace to ancestors and eliminate Pitra Dosh (ancestral karma imbalance):
- Om Pitr Devataye Namah
- Om Pitra Ganaya Vidmahe Jagat Dharini Dhimahi Tanno Pitrah Prachodayat
- Om Shri Pitraya Namah
- Om Shri Pitradevaya Namah
- Om Shri Pitribhyo Namah
- Om Shri Sarva Pitra Devatabhyo Namo Namah
- Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
- Om Tatpurushaya Vidmahe Mahadevaya Cha Dhimahi Tanno Rudrah Prachodayat
- Om Pratham Pitra Narayanaya Namah
- Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
By chanting these powerful mantras with devotion, one can seek blessings from their ancestors and remove any Pitra Dosh in their lineage.
Importance of Mauni Amavasya Snan and Charity
Taking a holy dip and engaging in charitable acts on Mauni Amavasya are considered highly auspicious. During the Mahakumbh, this occasion holds even greater significance. The observance of Moun Vrat (vow of silence) on this day is believed to bestow Vak Siddhi (power of speech and success in communication).
Whether you visit Prayagraj or perform the rituals at home, participating in Mauni Amavasya Amrit Snan with sincerity and devotion can bring immense spiritual and material benefits. Make the most of this divine occasion by observing the rituals and seeking blessings from both deities and ancestors.
