Vaishakh Amavasya holds special significance for the followers of Lord Vishnu. On this day people keep fast and worship God to get his blessings. People also observe fast and pray for their ancestors. It is believed that this frees them from any sin and they are greatly blessed by their ancestors.
A story telling the importance of Vaishakh Amavasya is also found in mythological texts. The story goes like this, it happened a long time ago. There lived a Brahmin named Dharmavarna. He was very religious. He used to fast, respected sages and sages, and took knowledge from them. Once he heard from a Mahatma that in Kaliyuga, there is no greater virtue than remembering the name of Lord Vishnu.
Chanting the name of God in this severe Kaliyuga gives much more virtuous results than the virtues obtained by performing Yagya in other eras. Dharmavarna assimilated this and became detached from worldly life, took sannyasa, and started traveling. One day while travelling, he reached his ancestral home. There the ancestors of Dharmavarna suffered a lot.
The ancestors told him that his condition was due to his abandonment of the Dharmavarna because now there was no one left to perform Pind Daan for him. If you go back and start a family life and have children, you can get relief. Also, perform Pind Daan as per the rituals on the day of Vaishakh Amavasya. Dharmavarna promised him that he would fulfill his expectations. After that, the Dharamvarna returned to their worldly life and liberated their ancestors by performing Pind Daan on the day of Vaishakh Amavasya.
