Somvati Amavasya 1000L Sharbat & 1000KG Puri-Sabzi Seva to Needy in Kashi
Why Perform Seva on Somvati Amavasya?
Monday (Somvar) is Lord Shiva’s day. Amavasya is the tithi of the Pitrus. Their convergence on a single day is rare, and this is the last time it occurs in 2026. Bhishma Pitamaha himself told Yudhishthira that seva performed on Somvati Amavasya brings immense wellbeing to the giver and peace to departed ancestors, making this one of the most powerful days of the year to serve.
Why Distribute Sharbat & Puri-Sabji?
Scriptures declare that in all three worlds, Anna Seva is the greatest of all acts of giving. And Jal Seva carries its own profound significance, all creation originates from water, and serving jal on a sacred day brings maha punya, including the merit equivalent to pilgrimage bathing. Together, Sharbat and Puri-Sabzi ensure that the pilgrim who arrives hungry and thirsty at Kashi leaves having been completely cared for - body and spirit both.
Why Perform this Seva in Kashi?
Kashi is the eternal seat of Maa Annapurna, the goddess of nourishment, the sacred city where Shiva himself once came with a begging bowl and was fed. Anna and Jal Seva performed here on Somvati Amavasya does not simply nourish the body. It rises from the ground where food has always been considered divine.

This donation not only destroys the sins of the donor, but also satisfies the ancestors, gods and sages and liberates him from the bondage of karma of many births!
