Importance of Mouni Amavasya

Bathing the Ganges on this day gives the same results as performing Ashwamedh Yagya. On the day of Mauni Amavasya, a person should do charity, charity and chanting according to his ability. If a person does not have the ability to go to the confluence of Triveni or any other place of pilgrimage, then he should wake up in his house in the morning and bathe before sunrise and take Ganga water. While bathing, wear silence and follow the silent fast until chanting. This purifies the mind and the soul is reconciled to the divine. This day is considered to be the practice of silence and restraint, giving heaven and salvation.
