Thai Amavasya is the rare New Moon in the Tamil month of Thai (Mid. Jan-Mid.Feb), when the Sun moves northward and is often called the Dawn in Heaven. It is revered for its power to address karmic imprints and inherited ancestral burdens at their root.
According to Dr. Pillai’s teaching of Soul Genetics, ancestral thoughts, karmic impressions, and destiny codes are carried through your lineage, and when left uncleared, they continue to shape your future as:
To address this, ancient yogis revealed sacred methods to harness the potent energy of this New Moon, the most powerful being Sacred Water Offering (Tarpanam)- a spiritually potent procedure allowing ancestral connection, karmic release, and the flow of grace to support both present life and future generations.
On this sacred day, the Sun’s strength supports the liberation of ancestral souls, while the New Moon opens a gateway for karmic release and renewal.
According to Vedic scriptures, when ancestors receive peace and elevation, their blessings begin to support health, harmony, prosperity, and progress across generations.
In Vedic tradition, water is honored as a sacred medium that carries intention beyond the visible world, helping prayers reach ancestral realms and cleanse karmic impressions.
On Amavasya, the New Moon, this power is heightened. As the Moon governs all water on Earth, water becomes more receptive, supporting the release of long-held karmic patterns across generations.
Pillai Center will perform the Sacred Ancestral Offering (Tarpanam) to your ancestors on the banks of the holy Kaveri River, revered for its purifying power and ability to carry prayers with clarity across realms.
