Kalashtami 2025: The Final Kalashtami of the Year and Remedies for Kaal Sarp Dosh and Saturn’s Influence

G GOWTHAM
New Delhi: Kalashtami is a significant day in the Hindu lunar calendar, observed every month on the Ashtami (8th day) of krishna Paksha. Devotees perform rituals and prayers dedicated to Kaal, the deity associated with time and cosmic order, and seek relief from malefic planetary influences, particularly Kaal Sarp Dosh and Shani (Saturn) effects.

The final Kalashtami of 2025 falls this month, making it an auspicious day for spiritual observances and remedial rituals. Observing this day with devotion is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and protection from obstacles caused by planetary imbalances.

Significance of Kalashtami

Worship of Kaal:

Kalashtami is dedicated to Lord Kaal, symbolizing time, fate, and cosmic law.

Devotees believe that worshiping Kaal helps remove negative energies and control the influence of malefic planets.

Kaal Sarp Dosh Remedies:

Kaal Sarp Dosh occurs when all planets in a horoscope are positioned between Rahu and Ketu, causing delays, obstacles, or sudden challenges in life.

Observing Kalashtami, offering prayers, and performing specific rituals is considered highly beneficial for reducing the dosh’s effects.

Saturn (Shani) Influence:

Saturn is known for discipline, karmic lessons, and delays. Its adverse influence can cause financial, professional, and health-related challenges.

Kalashtami rituals are said to appease Shani, reducing hardships and promoting stability.

Recommended Kalashtami Practices

Fasting (Vrat):

Devotees observe a strict fast from sunrise to sunset.

Some opt for a fruit-only or water-only fast, depending on their capacity and health.

Worship and Offerings:

Offer black sesame seeds, black clothes, mustard oil, and blue flowers to Lord Kaal or Lord Shiva, as per tradition.

Chant mantras such as “Om Sham Shanishcharaya Namah” or Kaal Sarp Dosh Shanti Mantras.

Charity and Donations:

Donating black clothes, iron items, and food grains to the needy is considered highly auspicious.

Feeding crows, cows, or Brahmins is also recommended for reducing the malefic effects of Kaal Sarp Dosh.

Temples and Rituals:

Visiting Shani temples or riverside shrines to perform pujas and holy dips enhances the benefits.

Participating in Kaal Sarp Dosh Shanti Puja with guidance from a priest can provide long-term relief.

Additional Tips for the Final Kalashtami of 2025

  • Wake up early and maintain mental purity and devotion throughout the day.
  • Avoid anger, greed, and negative thoughts, as Kalashtami is also about internal cleansing.
  • Light a lamp with sesame oil in the evening and meditate on Lord Kaal or Lord Shani.
Conclusion

The last Kalashtami of 2025 is a spiritually powerful day for devotees seeking relief from planetary hardships, especially Kaal Sarp Dosh and Saturn’s adverse effects. Observing the fast, performing rituals, offering charity, and maintaining devotion can help bring peace, remove obstacles, and attract positive energy as the year comes to a close.
