What is Purnima?
Purnima refers to the Full Moon day, a time regarded as sacred in Hindu culture. On this day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu, often in the form of Satyanarayan, and conduct Satyanarayan Puja. Fasting is a common practice, observed with deep faith and devotion.
In North India, the day is commonly called Purnima, while in South India, it is known as Pournami or Pournima. The fasting ritual in South India is referred to as Pournami Vratam.
Importance of Purnima
The Full Moon Day is celebrated for its spiritual and religious significance. The Moon's rays on this day are believed to carry divine energy, which can cleanse and heal the mind and soul. Fasting on Purnima is thought to help reduce stress, anxiety, and mental unease.
Astrological Significance
In astrology, the Moon governs emotions, the mind, water, and relationships. If someone has a weak Moon in their horoscope, such as being placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house or influenced by malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu, it is recommended to worship the Moon. Offering Arghya (water) to the Moon during Purnima is believed to reduce problems related to emotions, mental health, and relationships.
Rituals Observed on Purnima
- Fasting: Devotees fast from morning until they see the Moon, often avoiding grains and salty foods.
- Satyanarayan Puja: This special worship of Lord Vishnu is done at homes and temples to bring prosperity and peace.
- Moon Worship: Many people offer water and prayers to the Moon to gain emotional balance and clarity.
- Charity and Good Deeds: Donating food, clothes, or money to the needy is an important part of Purnima rituals.
