What is religious belief?

According to religious beliefs, the offerings made on this day reach the ancestors quickly and their blessings bring balance and positivity in life. Mauni Amavasya is associated with silence, restraint and introspection. In the scriptures, Amavasya Tithi is considered dear to the ancestors, hence offering tarpan on this day is considered especially fruitful. Tarpan is not just the act of offering water, but it is a medium of expressing reverence, respect and gratitude towards our ancestors.

It is believed that when descendants remember their ancestors with reverence, their souls attain peace and they bestow their blessings on the family. Especially the tarpan performed on the banks of Ganga or any holy river is considered more effective.

In astrology, Pitra Dosh is considered to be one of the reasons for the obstacles in life. When ancestors do not receive Shraddha, Tarpan or respect on time, it can affect a person’s mental, family and financial life. In such a situation, tarpan done as per rituals on Mauni Amavasya is considered a powerful way to pacify Pitra Dosh. Tarpan done through water, sesame seeds and Kush reduces the dissatisfaction of the ancestors and gradually the negative effects start ending.

The effect of tarpan on Mauni Amavasya is not limited to the individual level only, but it has a positive effect on the entire family. It is believed that by calming Pitra Dosh, happiness, peace, health and mutual harmony increases in the house. The problems, mental stress and financial constraints to children start reducing. Spiritually, this action inspires a person to have humility, values ​​and to connect with his roots.

Tarpan is done not for show, but with true feelings and restraint, only then it gives full results.
