Mauni Amavasya snan during Triveni Yog most auspicious

Wednesday, 29 January 2025 | PNS | Mahakumbh Nagar

The sacred Amrit Snan of Mauni Amavasya, the most significant festival of Maha Kumbh and a cornerstone of the Sanatan faith, will take place on Wednesday. This year, a rare celestial alignment – the Triveni Yog – occurring after 144 years, amplifies the spiritual significance of the day.

According to astrologers, Triveni Yog, akin to the Samudra Manthan Yog, will last from 2:35 pm on Tuesday (January 28) until 7:25 am on February 8. During this period, bathing at the holy Triveni Sangam is believed to bestow virtues equivalent to performing a Sahastra Vajpayee yajna or a hundred Ashvamedha yajnas.

The scriptures describe bathing in the Sangam on Mauni Amavasya as ‘mokshadayak’ (granting liberation).

Astrologers suggest that devotees can bathe at any ghat at their convenience, without focusing on specific yogas or nakshatras, and still receive the same spiritual benefits as a Sangam bath.

This rare Triveni Yog occurs due to the Sun, Moon and Mercury aligning in Capricorn, with Jupiter casting its ninth aspect. This configuration mirrors the cosmic dynamics of the Samudra Manthan period.

Astrologer HK Shukla from Prayagraj highlights that Mauni Amavasya started at 7:32 pm on January 28 and would end at 6:05 pm on January 29, with Brahma muhurta (the pre-dawn hours) being the most auspicious time for bathing.

Mauni Amavasya derives its name from observing silence and fasting on this day, symbolieing inner purification. Devotees are advised to bathe at any convenient ghat or mix Sangam or Ganga water with regular water for the same spiritual benefits as a Triveni Sangam bath.

The day is also auspicious for ancestors, as well as for peace rituals, charity and worship, especially during Brahma muhurta and other favourable times like Amrit and Shubh Chaughadiya.

According to Jyotishacharya PN Dwivedi of Kanpur, Mauni Amavasya marks the birth of Vaivasvat Manu, the progenitor of humanity. Observing silence, fasting, and bathing in the Sangam on this day are believed to bring immense spiritual rewards and liberation.

The combination of Mauni Amavasya tithi, Shravan Nakshatra, and Triveni Yog makes this year’s Mauni Amavasya an unparalleled occasion for spiritual elevation, bathing and charity.
