Mithun Sankranti 2025 Today: Auspicious Time for Snan, Daan, and Punya Kaal

People across the country are marking Mithun Sankranti today, Sunday, 15 June 2025. The festival is dear to many Hindus. It celebrates the moment the Sun shifts from Taurus, or Vrishabha Rashi, into Gemini, known as Mithun Rashi. This solar transition is what we call Mithun Sankranti.

Mithun Sankranti 2025 is being celebrated today, Sunday, 15 June. On this day, the Sun moves from Taurus (Vrishabha Rashi) to Gemini (Mithun Rashi). This change is very important in Hindu tradition. People turn to simple spiritual acts during this time. They do Snan, a holy wash, and Daan, a gift to those in need, both ways to build Punya, or good merit. Many believe the day opens a strong channel to the Divine. Its also a chance to walk Sanatangyan, the ageless road of dharma.

Significance of Mithun Sankranti in Sanatangyan

In the Sanatangyan tradition, Mithun Sankranti is more than just a change in the sky. It is a special spiritual chance. When the Sun (Surya Dev) moves into Gemini, it offers an opportunity to cleanse your karma. It is also a time to bring more positivity into your life. The holy texts of Sanatangyan describe such transitions as sacred doorways for human beings to align with cosmic rhythms.

Devotees believe that bathing in holy rivers and giving donations on this day makes the planetary gods happy. It helps reduce problems caused by the Sun’s influence. This day is also meant for meditation, prayer, and practicing spiritual discipline.

In keeping with the traditions of Sanatangyan, giving charity (daan) on this day not only helps others but also purifies the self. It is especially auspicious to donate items connected to Lord Surya (Sun God). Finally, every gift given on this day chips away at ego and opens the soul to divine grace.

Spiritual and Religious Practices on This Day

Mithun Sankranti is a prime day to practice the eternal truths of Sanatangyan. The faithful wake up early, bathe in sacred rivers (or at home with sanctified water), chant mantras such as the Gayatri Mantra, and offer prayers to Surya Dev. Acts of kindness, helping the needy, and feeding animals are also recommended.

Even if someone misses the Maha Punya Kaal, the whole Punya Kaal time is still spiritually powerful. What matters most on this day is true devotion, not exact timing. Being sincere in your prayers and actions is what counts.
