Amavasya World Peace Day 2025 invites us to look within. Every New Moon, the night sky disappears into darkness. Yet, within that darkness lies the most fertile soil—the space where new intentions are sown.
This month, Amavasya (New Moon) arrives close to World Peace Day (Sept 21), weaving two universal threads: the inner renewal of spirit and the collective call for harmony.
I often say that silence and darkness are not empty—they are pregnant with possibility. Amavasya is when we water the unseen seeds, and World Peace Day is when we pray those seeds grow into a world healed of its wounds. Together, they remind us: peace begins within.

The Spiritual Power of Amavasya
Amavasya (the New Moon) has been revered across cultures:
In Hinduism, it is a day for ancestor offerings (tarpan), cleansing, and new beginnings.
In Buddhism, monks gather for communal prayers on New Moon days.
In Native traditions, the dark moon was a time of rest, visioning, and planting seeds of intention.
Spiritually, Amavasya is:
A cosmic reset button—letting us release old cycles.
A portal for intention-setting—our desires imprint more powerfully in the womb of darkness.
A moment of ancestral connection—when the veil between worlds softens.

World Peace Day — A Collective Amavasya
Every year on September 21, the world pauses for International Day of Peace. It is an invitation to lay down weapons—both external and internal—and cultivate harmony.
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the presence of understanding. It is a practice that begins with the self. A still breath becomes a still heart, and a still heart becomes a still world.
When Amavasya and Peace Day energies converge, the universe whispers: “Plant peace within, and you will grow peace without.”
