In Hindu tradition, the month of Sawan is considered dedicated to Lord Shiva. During this month, the worship and devotion of Lord Shiva are observed. The atmosphere during this time is filled with the unique beauty of nature. The monsoon reaches its peak, and the earth is covered with a blanket of greenery. In Indian tradition, this festival is celebrated as a symbol of nature and environmental conservation. Haritalika Amavasya is celebrated every year during the Sawan month, and it is also known as Sawan Amavasya.
In 2025, Haritalika Amavasya will begin on July 24 at 2:28 AM and end the next day, July 25, at 12:40 AM. In Hinduism, the importance of the rising date is emphasized, so Haritalika Amavasya will be observed on July 24.
Haritalika Amavasya is considered to be especially virtuous during the Sawan month. On this day, taking a bath and giving donations to the poor, helpless, and needy can free practitioners from ancestral curses, Kaal Sarp Dosh, and Shani Dosh. Planting trees on this Amavasya is also highly auspicious. Additionally, on this day, milk and water are offered at the base of the peepal tree. This ritual brings blessings from the deities and ancestors.
The primary objective of Haritalika Amavasya is to promote environmental conservation and express respect and gratitude toward nature. This festival reminds us that we owe a debt to nature and should make every effort to protect it.
It is said that performing the Rudrabhishekam of Lord Shiva on Hariyali Amavasya is extremely significant to ward off negative energies. By conducting Rudrabhishekam on this day, practitioners receive the blessings of Lord Shiva.
In Indian culture, donation on Sawan Amavasya is considered an integral part of life. Donation can be of wealth, time, knowledge, and resources. It promotes unity and cooperation within society. It provides the donor with satisfaction and inner peace while helping those in need.
The importance of donation is also mentioned in various scriptures. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says:
“Yajna-Dana-Tapah-Karma Na Tyajyam Karyamev Tat.”
This means that sacrifices, donations, and penance are not to be abandoned; they must be performed.
In another verse, the importance of donation is explained as follows:
“Anndanam Param Danam Bahudha Na Shriyam Labhet.
Tasmaat Sarvaprayatnen Annam Datavyam Krutaatmana.”
This means that donating food on Hariyali Amavasya is the highest form of donation, and through it, one attains great prosperity. Therefore, one should always make every effort to donate food.
On Haritalika Amavasya, donations hold great significance. It is said that donating food and grains is the most auspicious on this day. On this virtuous occasion of Haritalika Amavasya, you can contribute to the Narayan Seva Sansthan’s mission of providing food to poor, helpless, and needy children and earn the blessings of good karma.
