Purnima: An Important Date in Hinduism

Purnima is the last day of the Shukla Paksha (the bright fortnight) of every month according to the Hindu calendar. On this day, the moon is in its full form in the sky. In Indian culture, every full moon has its own significance, and some fast or festival is observed on this day. According to religious beliefs, the full moon day is considered extremely auspicious for charity, religion, and fasting.

Religious and Scientific Significance of Purnima

Religious Significance: On the full moon day, there is a special ritual of reciting the story of Lord Satyanarayan and worshipping him. It is believed that doing so brings happiness and mental peace. Bathing and donating at holy places on the full moon days of Kartik, Vaishakh, and Magh is considered very auspicious.
Scientific Significance: According to astrology, the Moon is considered the factor of the mind. On the full moon day, when the Moon is in its full form, it has a direct impact on the human mind. Scientifically, the Moon's gravitational force attracts water, and since the human body is approximately 70% water, the effect of the full moon is also seen on a person's temperament.

Full moon fast and worship method

The full moon fast and worship are observed with great devotion.

Bathing: Wake up before sunrise on this day and take a bath. If possible, add Ganga water to the bathing water. Doing so provides relief from past sins.
Worship: There is a special ritual for worshipping Lord Vishnu and Shiva. Many devotees also observe a fast without eating or drinking anything, which ends after seeing the moon.
Charity: Charity is of great importance on the full moon day. Offering water to ancestors on this day is also considered auspicious.
