Among the many Amavasyas observed throughout the year, Darsha Amavasya stands out as a crucial spiritual junction, especially for those seeking closure with their ancestors and peace within their own karmic path.
This year, Darsha Amavasya falls on 26th May 2025 and invites you to reflect, release, and reconnect. The energies of this day are especially intense, offering a golden opportunity for ancestral healing, karmic cleansing, and inner transformation.
Whether or not you consciously realise it, your ancestors may still be waiting for you to help them complete their unfinished journey — and, in doing so, complete your own.
The Spiritual Meaning of Darsha Amavasya
Darsha Amavasya is not just another date on the lunar calendar. It is a deeply spiritual occasion that invites silence, prayer, and inner exploration. In Vedic tradition, this Amavasya is linked to the ritual of honouring the departed souls, not with mourning, but with love, remembrance, and sacred offerings.
It is believed that on this night, the subtle realm of ancestors becomes more accessible. Their energies, blessings, and even unresolved issues can come closer to your aura.
You may not always feel it in words, but in sensations, dreams, sudden emotions, or unexpected thoughts.
Darsha Amavasya allows a doorway to open — not outside, but inside your own consciousness. When you honour your ancestors with respect and pure intentions, you help release emotional blocks, inherited patterns, and spiritual weights that may be unknowingly affecting your life.

In return, they bless you with unseen support, protection, and smoother paths forward. This is why the connection between you and your ancestors is more than emotional — it is energetic, karmic, and eternal.
Why This Day is Important for You in 2025?
The date 26th May 2025 carries potent vibrations because it aligns not only with the new moon but also with a phase in the planetary cycles where emotional clarity becomes possible. This is a day that invites you to pause and feel.
It is a day to stop rushing and start listening to the whispers of your soul, and to the silent voices of those who came before you.
You might feel a little more emotional than usual. You might recall people from the past — some you haven't thought about in years. Dreams may feel vivid, or you may notice patterns repeating in your life that seem to have no logical source. These are not coincidences. On Darsha Amavasya, such signals often come as a call to complete emotional or spiritual loops that were never resolved, perhaps in your lifetime, perhaps even generations before.
Are Your Ancestors Still Waiting?
If your ancestors left the world with regrets, pain, or unspoken truths, those energies can stay alive in the karmic field. You may carry them unknowingly, feeling stuck in areas like relationships, finances, or even health. These are not punishments — they are echoes, asking to be heard, healed, and transformed.
Darsha Amavasya is your chance to break the loop. When you offer even a simple prayer with heartfelt emotion and intention, it is said that the vibration reaches realms beyond the physical.
You don't need grand rituals. What you need is genuine emotion. Even sitting quietly and lighting a lamp with a thought of gratitude can shift lifetimes of stuck energy.
Ask yourself: Are there family stories that repeat? Is there emotional pain in your lineage that was never spoken about? Do you feel blocked without knowing why? This Amavasya, listen closely. You might discover that the answers were waiting in your own bloodline.
How You Can Use This Day for Healing and Closure
While traditional rituals like Tarpana and offering food or water to ancestors are powerful and time-honoured, the real strength lies in intention. If you do not have access to a priest or a sacred river, do not worry. The cosmos hears what the heart feels.
Start by taking a simple bath early in the morning on 26th May. Wear clean, light-coloured clothes, and sit in a quiet space. Think of your ancestors — known and unknown.
Even if you do not know their names, you can say from your heart, 'May all those who came before me find peace. May any pain or burden you carried be released through my love.'
You can also write a letter to your ancestors. Burn it after reading it aloud with love. Offer water, milk, or rice to nature with a prayer. These acts may seem small, but spiritually, they open enormous portals of release and connection.
What You Might Feel During This Amavasya
Do not be surprised if you feel waves of unexplained sadness, nostalgia, or even a strange peace.
These are signs that emotional or ancestral energies are moving through you. You might feel tired, or unusually quiet — allow yourself to rest. The night of 26th May is especially charged. Spend time away from loud noises or distractions. Avoid unnecessary arguments or overthinking.
You may also experience sudden clarity, memories, or signs, like hearing a song that reminds you of someone from the past, or seeing repeated symbols like birds, feathers, or lights flickering.
Trust your feelings. Your ancestors may be trying to communicate in ways your soul understands better than your mind.
How This Day Affects Your Present and Future
You are the living bridge between your past and your future. When you bring peace to one side, the other flows more freely. People often wonder why certain efforts do not bear fruit, or why some emotions never seem to heal. The answer may lie in energies that were never acknowledged or released.
Darsha Amavasya is not about being religious.
It is about being real. Be real with your emotions, your story, and your place in the river of time. When you connect with your roots, you grow stronger. When you offer love where there was once pain, you transform your lineage.
The blessings you receive on this day may not always be dramatic. But they will be deep. You may find more harmony in your relationships. You may feel more confident in your choices. You may notice life opening gently, like a flower in sunlight.
That is the power of ancestral closure.
The Deeper Spiritual Lesson of Darsha Amavasya
This sacred day teaches one of the greatest spiritual truths — that time is not linear. What is unresolved in the past does not disappear. It lives, echoes, and sometimes cries through the present. But the divine has also given you the power to respond.
Your love can reach where pain could not. Your awareness can heal what silence could not. The past does not control your future — unless you ignore it.
But when you honour it, even for one day in the year, you start to unlock chains you never knew you were wearing.
On 26th May 2025, give yourself and your ancestors the gift of recognition. Let your soul be the light that travels back in time to light up old darkness. Let your present be the prayer that becomes their peace. In doing so, your life will begin to bloom with grace that is not only earned but inherited.
Closing Message: Listen to the Call
Your ancestors may not have had the tools, the awareness, or the space to heal what they carried.
But you do. You are the chosen one in your lineage to bring the shift. This Darsha Amavasya, do not treat the day as just another date. Treat it as a sacred invitation.
Light a lamp. Offer a thought. Whisper a prayer. And most importantly — forgive, thank, and release. You might be surprised how much lighter your soul feels, and how many unseen hands begin to guide you afterwards. That is the unseen blessing of this ancient night.
Darsha Amavasya is not only about looking back — it is about freeing yourself to move forward. Let this 26th May be your beginning. Let your ancestors rest. Let your destiny rise. Let your heart remember — and your soul rejoice.

Taste of Life: Encouraging fasting to protect religious traditions
Pune: In early twentieth-century Colonial India, a resurgence of religio-cultural self-awareness that endorsed traditions played a significant role in defining cultural identities. This self-awareness existed alongside the diversities based on caste, ethnicity, and region. The encounter with modernisation sharpened the expressions of cultural identity that differed from traditional religio-cultural conflicts. Movie halls like the Minerva Talkies and Prabhat were known to distribute dates to the fasting audience. Fasting on 'Ekadashi' was considered a tool to bridge the gaps and rifts between different castes and communities. (HT) Keshav V Datye of Shukravar Peth, Pune, wrote a letter to the Marathi daily 'Dnyanaprakash' on July 29, 1940, that began with the criticism of the youth for indulging in frivolity by watching movies on the important festival of 'Ashadhi Ekadashi'. But his bigger consternation was the consumption of 'soda-lemon', tea, and peanuts by a significant section of the audience before, during, and after the screenings, on the day they were supposed to stay away from food. Datye worked at a printing press in Pune. He was also a founding member of an 'Ekadashi Sanghatana'. Members of such organisations fasted on every 'Ekadashi' and donated the money thus saved to funds established for the welfare of Indian political prisoners. Readers of this column would remember an article I wrote last year about these 'Ekadashi Sanghatanas', the fasts on 'Ashadhi Ekadashi' and Muharram, and how they forged a bond between the two communities (Fasting brings people of faith together, July 18, 2024). 'Ekadashi', the eleventh day of the waxing and waning lunar cycles of the Hindu calendar, was a day of fasting for many Hindus. There were two 'Ekadashis', and hence, two fasting days each month. While most men and women fasted for a day, some women kept the 'Ekadashi' fast for three days. They lunched a day before 'Ekadashi' and broke the fast two days later after sunrise. Some chose to fast without water, while some ate only fruits. 'Ashadh Shuddha Ekadashi', also known as 'Devashayani Ekadashi', the eleventh lunar day of the bright fortnight of the Hindu month of 'Ashadh', was one of the most important of the 'Ekadashis'. Fasting was its essential aspect. Since ancient times, fasting has been an expression of piety or penitence towards a deity. In Christianity, fasting was often viewed as a form of penance; while in Islam, it was more about praise and obedience. Fasting to achieve specific results from a deity highlighted a form of thinking where the act of fasting was believed to have direct effects on divine intervention. The reasons given for fasting on an 'Ekadashi' were manifold and depended on which text one referred to. While one was supposed to not touch a single morsel of food on the day, the modern middle-class embraced new ingredients like the potato, sago, peanuts, and chillies and used them to create novel dishes which it decided could be consumed when one was fasting. The housewife, hence, proudly displayed her repertoire of fasting dishes on 'Ashadhi Ekadashi'. Women who ate only once during the entire month of 'Ashadh' were believed to be blessed with prosperity and children. The 'Vaman Purana', one of the eighteen major Puranas in Hinduism, advised donation of footwear, umbrellas, and gooseberry soaked in brine to Brahmins during the holy month. Some vegetable and fruit vendors specially stocked gooseberries during the month. The pressures of modernisation in Colonial India tried to replace and reshape traditional cultures that exhibited resistance and adaptive qualities. The arrival of technology was a sign of emancipation, but it also created anxiety because of the constantly changing personal and social life. The lure of modernity, hence, was perceived as a threat to religious traditions. The anxiety created by Western education and modernity made a section of the Hindu middle class embrace religious rituals with a vigour. The 1930s saw the popularity of the 'Satyanarayana Pooja' soar to new heights. Lord Satyanarayana was considered a form of Lord Vishnu, and hence the ritual was performed with great devotion in the month of 'Ashadh'. Since men had to work during the day, the pooja was organised in the evenings, followed by dinner for guests in some wealthy households. 'Ashadh Pournima', the full moon day of the month of 'Ashadh', was also celebrated as 'Guru Pournima' as a day to mark reverence to teachers. Many families observed a full-day fast on the occasion. The fast ended after the evening ritual of paying obeisance to the spiritual or religious guru of the family or the deity. Some well-to-do families in Pune organised community feasts in Vishnu temples in the city. Many invited their guru, or a Brahmin for lunch. It was also a day when students bowed before their teachers in schools and colleges. The Hindu unification project, initiated and led by the likes of Mahadevshastri Divekar in the early 1920s, called for the abolition of rituals that encouraged the segregation supported by the caste system. Fasting on 'Ekadashi' was considered a tool to bridge the gaps and rifts between different castes and communities, chiefly owing to the association with the pilgrimage to Pandharpur, where men and women belonging to different castes and communities participated. Those not fasting every 'Ekadashi' were not considered good Hindus. Following religious rituals was deemed necessary to preserve Hinduism in its 'pure' form. As a result, groups like 'Tarun Maharashtra Mandal' organised bhajans and keertans for three days before the 'Ashadhi Ekadashi' in the so-called 'lower caste' localities. People belonging to these castes and communities were urged to fast and follow Hindu rituals. Extra shows of movies and plays, apart from the regular shows at 6 pm and 10 pm, were organised at 3 pm on 'Ashadhi Ekadashi'. Movies like 'Sant Sakhu' and 'Sant Meerabai' were shown, and plays like 'Swargasundari' were staged. The trend probably started in the late 1920s. On the 'Ashadhi Ekadashi' in July 1930, Jagadish Film Company's 'Dwarakadhesh' was screened at Aryan Theatre. The 3 pm show was packed with a large crowd outside the movie hall shouting at the doorkeeper to let them in. In the following years, movie halls in Pune made it a regular custom to organise extra shows on 'Ashadhi Ekadashi'. Movie halls like the Minerva Talkies and Prabhat were known to distribute dates to the fasting audience. According to Datye, 'Ashadhi Ekadashi' was an occasion to cleanse mind and body, and those watching movies and drinking 'soda-lemon' were drifting away from the purpose, and hence, from their religion. The young men, on whom 'future of the country rested', were supposed to take pride in the glorious religious traditions of Hinduism; 'modern education' had corrupted the minds of men and women who were gratified by 'western indulgences', but the least they could do was fast on 'Ashadhi and Kartiki Ekadashis', he wrote. Datye's letter in 'Dnyanaprakash' was a testament to the renewed enthusiasm surrounding Hindu festivals in twentieth-century Maharashtra that emphasised the importance of fasting and prayer as integral to the lifestyle of the community, and that these practices were deeply embedded in their religious identity. It showed how the stress, emotions, and novelty associated with westernisation and modernity collided with challenges from the internal and external world that demanded self-control, orderliness, and homogeneity.

Journey of excavator Amarnath Ramakrishna who led Keezhadi dig & has seen 12 transfers in 21 yrs
K. Amarnath Ramakrishna submitted the report on the first two phases of the Keezhadi excavation in 2023. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) rejected his report and asked him to revise the dates of his findings, but he stood by his conclusions and wrote to the ASI that no corrections were necessary. Chennai: When archaeologist K. Amarnath Ramakrishna began excavating a coconut farm in Keezhadi—a quiet Tamil Nadu village—in 2014, little did he realise that his discovery of an urban civilisation dating back to at least the 8th century BCE wouldn't just challenge history but also his career with five transfers in eight years. Indologist R. Balakrishnan, a retired IAS and chairman of the International Institute of Tamil Studies, said the findings of the Keezhadi excavations were revolutionary because they complemented Sangam literature. 'Ramakrishna's findings bolstered the narrative of an independent, sophisticated Tamil civilisation, distinct from the Vedic-centric history. There were no religious symbols found at the excavation site, proving what was told in Sangam literature,' Balakrishnan told ThePrint. Amarnath Ramakrishna's transfer in 2023 wasn't his first or last. His groundbreaking work has often been accompanied by controversy, with his career at the ASI marked by 12 transfers in 21 years. He began in 2004 as an assistant archaeologist at Kondapur Museum in Andhra Pradesh. The roots of the latest controversy go back to 2013-14, when Ramakrishna began surveying 293 potential sites in and around Madurai for excavation. Among them, Keezhadi, a 100-acre coconut grove in Palichanthai Thidal in Sivagangai district, stood out—and excavations began there in 2014. In the first two phases between 2014-15 and 2015-16, the team unearthed over 7,500 artefacts, including brick structures, drainage systems, wells, pottery, beads and Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions. But in 2017, as Keezhadi's significance was becoming undeniable, Ramakrishna was abruptly transferred to the Guwahati Circle in Assam while he was waiting for funds to begin the third phase of excavations at Keezhadi. Soon after Ramakrishna's transfer in 2017, the ASI appointed P.S. Sriraman as Superintending Archaeologist for the third phase of the excavation. In October 2017, on completing the third phase, Sriraman said that Keezhadi excavations had not yielded any significant discoveries—sparking controversy as his opinion sharply contradicted Ramakrishna's earlier findings. Again in 2019, Amarnath Ramakrishna was transferred to Goa as superintending archaeologist. He was back in Tamil Nadu as superintending archaeologist of the Chennai circle in 2021, when he wrote the Keezhadi report. In the 982-page report, submitted by Ramakrishna in January 2023, he classified Keezhadi into three periods: Pre-Early Historic (8th century BCE to 5th century BCE), Mature Early Historic (5th century BCE to 1st century BCE), and Post-Early Historic (1st century BCE to 3rd century CE). He submitted the report in January 2023 and was transferred to Delhi as Director (Archaeology) after that. One and a half years later, in September 2024, Amarnath Ramakrishna was moved again, this time as Director (Antiquity) of the National Mission on Monuments and Antiquities (NMMA) at the ASI headquarters in Delhi. Within three months, Ramakrishna was shifted again to the role of director of excavation and exploration at the ASI headquarters. Another three months later, he was brought back to his previous post at the ASI headquarters in Delhi. On 17 June, Amarnath Ramakrishna was transferred yet again to the role of director of NMMA at Noida, marking his third transfer in nine months and twelfth transfer overall. This was described as a 'punishment posting' for allegedly refusing to change the dates in his Keezhadi report. 'The post he was transferred to was almost defunct for years. If this is not a punishment post, what else is?' said one of Ramakrishna's colleagues. But an ASI spokesperson told ThePrint that all his moves were routine administrative transfers and had nothing to do with Keezhadi. Archaeologists who worked with Amarnath Ramakrishna at Keezhadi felt that more details might have been unearthed had he been allowed to lead the third phase of excavations. 'In the first two phases, excavation was done at the habitation site. But to substantiate and to get more clarity on whatever was found in the habitation site, excavations need to be done in a burial site close to it. Ramakrishna had sought permission to excavate a burial site close to it, and that's when the transfer order came,' a source at the ASI told ThePrint. Also Read: Sun TV Network, Maran brothers & an old feud. How Dayanidhi-Kalanithi clash was waiting to spill over Eye for detail Archaeologists, who worked with Amarnath Ramakrishna at Keezhadi, recalled that he was a man with an eye for detail who looked for concrete scientific evidence before arriving at a conclusion. 'When we began the Keezhadi excavation, we seriously did not have any expectations, except that it was one of the largest human habitation sites that we were digging in Tamil Nadu. He was very keen on noting down everything that he saw at the site and everything that we excavated from day one,' said archaeologist Vasanth, who worked with Amarnath Ramakrishna during the Keezhadi excavation. Vasanth also told ThePrint that Ramakrishna was an exceptional officer who did not give preferences to anyone based on seniority. 'He listens to everybody's ideas irrespective of their age and experience.' A Madras University archaeology student, now working with the archaeology department, said he was lucky to do an internship at Keezhadi with Amarnath Ramakrishna. 'Because most of my seniors and even my colleagues who did internships were not even taken anywhere close to the excavation trenches. Despite being at the excavation site, they largely got only theoretical experience,' said the achaeologist, who did his internship with Ramakrishna between 2015 and 2017. 'But Ramakrishna sir took us into the trenches and explained how each quadrant is dug and how they pick the samples and what each one of them means,' he added. Son of a Tamil Scholar, in search of ancient traces Amarnath Ramakrishna, who belongs to Tamil Nadu's Palani in Dindigul district, is the son of an academic couple, R. Krishnamoorthy and G.S. Dinamani. Krishnamoorthy retired as professor of zoology at Presidency College in Chennai and the late Dinamani worked as a professor of Tamil at Arulmigu Palaniandavar Women's College. 'Beginning from elementary education to an in Ancient History and Archaeology, he was a product of Tamil Nadu's education system,' recalls a college mate and archaeologist with the state government. Amarnath Ramakrishna's friends and classmates credited their professor, K.V. Raman, for inspiring him to take archaeology seriously. 'He has always said that K.V. Raman sir was his inspiration. It was KV sir who asked Ramakrishna to pursue a two-year PG Diploma in Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology run by the Archaeological Survey of India,' the collegemate told ThePrint. He also questioned how the methods and procedures taught at ASI's institute could be wrong. 'He did not learn archaeology anywhere else. How can a person who studied at the ASI's institute give a report without substantial evidence stipulated by the ASI?'
