Aaj Ka Panchang, October 20, 2025: Today brings the auspicious confluence of Amavasya and Monday, which is considered extremely auspicious for spiritual peace, receiving the blessings of ancestors, and self-purification.
The Amavasya of the Ashwin month is especially considered auspicious for Pitra Tarpan, Deepdaan, and Pitra Dosh Nivaran. This date is best for Pitra Karyas, meditation, and mitigation of negativity.
Amavasya Tithi has great significance in Vedic tradition. This date is considered auspicious for self-introspection, charity, and secret practice. Today, the Moon is placed in Virgo, which enhances analytical ability, order, and mental clarity. The mind will be contemplative and inclined towards internal improvement.
Today’s Hasta Nakshatra is a symbol of efficiency, scholarship, and service spirit. This Nakshatra makes today useful, action-oriented, and fruitful, especially if you are doing any service work, charity, or Shraddha-related work.
Vaidhrithi Yog is present till 2:35:51 pm today, which is generally considered inauspicious, so it would be advisable to be a little cautious in auspicious works today. Performing Pitra Tarpan, Shradh, Deepdaan, Jaldaan, and Brahmin Bhojan on Amavasya liberates one from Pitra Debt.
Taking measures for ghost obstruction, physical suffering, mental stress, and financial obstacles will be very effective today. Monday is the best day for Shiva worship – Rudrabhishek, Mahamrityunjay Jaap, and Bilvapatra offering are especially beneficial. The position of the Moon in Virgo increases intelligence, discretion, and analytical ability.
20 October 2025, this day of Amavasya is a special opportunity for spiritual practice, meditation, charity, and receiving the blessings of ancestors. The combination of Hasta Nakshatra and Virgo Moon awakens mental discipline and service spirit.
In Vaidhrithi Yog, give importance to religious practices, and it would be appropriate to postpone material works. This is the time to fill life with light through new consciousness, introspection, and the blessings of ancestors.
