Grandmother’s care: Amavasya date has special significance in Hindu religion. This date is considered related to ancestors. On this date, there is a tradition of bathing, donating, offering tarpan etc. for the ancestors. Today, 30 December 2024, is also the last Amavasya of the year. It is known as Paush Amavasya or Somvati Amavasya.
According to the Panchang, every month there are two Pakshas, Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha. The last date of Krishna Paksha is called Amavasya and the last date of Shukla Paksha is called Purnima. It is believed that negative energies remain more active on Amavasya Tithi. Therefore, many activities are considered prohibited on this day, one of which is keeping women’s hair open. This is the reason why grandmothers stop their hair when it is open on the day of Amavasya.
You may find these words of grandmothers strange or a myth. But its reasons and importance have been explained in the scriptures and Hindu religion also. If you follow the advice given by your grandmothers, you will remain happy and will be saved from inauspicious incidents in future. Let us know why women should not open their doors on Amavasya. What is the reason behind this belief?
Why don’t you keep your hair open on Amavasya?
- There is a belief regarding Amavasya Tithi that negative powers become more active on this day. Keeping hair open can quickly attract negative energy on women. Therefore, grandmothers forbid hair to be open on this day. Because they do not have to face any kind of problems.
- Astrologer Anish Vyas explains that many types of Tantra rituals are performed on Amavasya Tithi, in which hair is also used. Maran, Mohan, Uchchatan and hypnotism activities are done through hair only.
- Apart from this, keeping open hair is considered inauspicious in Hindu religion. According to the legend, after being stripped of her clothes in Hastinapur during the time of Mahabharata, Draupadi had taken a vow that she would keep her hair open until Dushasan’s blood gets on her hair. Therefore, open hair of a woman is considered inauspicious.
