🪔 About Darsh Amavasya

Today is Darsh Amavasya—the last amavasya before Mahashivratri. On this day, devotees observe silence (Maun), turn inward, and communicate with the divine within. Due to the silence vow, this day is also called Mauni Amavasya.

Allow your heart to melt in the healing warmth of Lord Shiv's embrace. Feel yourself get closer to him with every jap of his life-giving mantra.
