Somvati Amavasya or no moon day falling on Monday creates such an auspicious moment that Ganga, Pushkar and the divine cosmos along with all the revered pilgrimages on this earth shower their exceptional spiritual benediction on the being who performs worship, jape, meditation on this auspicious day.
The significance of this day is considered equivalent to the auspiciousness of ‘the solar Eclipse.’ Taking a holy dip, performance of charitable acts and Shraddha (giving oblations in the name of manes) on this day is considered to be perennial and everlasting. Observance of vow of silence followed by a holy dip in the sacred waters bestows the being with the meritorious effect equivalent to that of giving a thousand cows in donation. It is ordained to worship and circumambulate Lord Vishnu and the sacred Pipal tree. Prior to the sacred ambulation, he following prayer is done:
Multo brahmarupay madhyato visnurupine.
Agratah sivrupay vrksrajaye ten amah
Yam drstva mucyate rogaih sprstva
Papaih pramucyate
Yadsryacciranjivi tamasvatham
Namamyaham.
O Sacred Tree! From the root, you’re the symbol of Lord Brahma, from the truck, you’re the epitome of Lord Vishnu and the forehead is veritable representation of Lord Siva. My salutations to you! I humbly pray for the acceptance of the reverential worship and eradication of my sins. My offer my deferential salutations to the pious tree whose mere gaze eradicates the being’s physical ailments, a simple touch extirpates the sins and the blissful patronage provides long life to the doer!
Out of the said number of one hundred and eight, eight circumambulations are done by enwrapping the Pipal tree with raw thread. One hundred and eight pieces of fruits are kept aside; later on these are distributed to the Brahmins. Such a practice helps in the longevity of progeny.
P.S. When the ‘Mriga Nakshtra’ falls on Monday, it is acclaimed as ‘Amritsiddhiyog.’ Luckily, this time on Somvati amavasya, this auspicious confluence is occurring. On 22nd June, from dawn till 11.45 P.M, it is the pious confluence of ‘Amritsiddhiyog.’
Gurupushyamrit Yog
Shiv Puran explains ‘Pushya Nakshtra’ as the majestic personage of Lord Shiva. The effect of ‘Pushya Nakshtra’ is so virtuous that even the most calamitous disorders become futile or reach near eradication. Rather these become comfortable to the ‘Pushya Nakshtra’ and favour us positively. The scriptures ordain the Pushya Nakshatra as favorable to ‘All accomplishments. ‘The oblations performed in this auspicious period bestow utmost contentment on the manes. The doer too is endowed with progeny and prosperity.
The planet Lord Brishspati (Jupiter), who is the preceptor of gods, originated in Pushya Nakshatra only.
So the Pushya as well as Lord Brihaspati enjoy an integral combination. Pushya Nakshtra, the most nurturing one, when falls on Thursday which again is considered as the supreme day; it is one of the rarest and unique combinations known as ‘Gurupushyamrit Yoga.’
