Do Not Pluck Tulsi Leaves
Avoid plucking Tulsi (holy basil) leaves on Kartik Purnima. In Hindu tradition, Tulsi is considered a manifestation of Goddess Lakshmi. Plucking its leaves on this sacred day is believed to disrespect the goddess, which may lead to misfortune or loss of prosperity.
Avoid Consuming Tamsik Food
On the holy day of Kartik Purnima, many devotees observe fasts. Even if one is not fasting, it is advised to avoid tamsik (impure) foods such as meat, fish, eggs, garlic, and onion. These items are believed to disturb spiritual purity and reduce the positive energy of the day.
Do Not Send Anyone Away Empty-Handed
If a poor, needy, or elderly person visits your home on Kartik Purnima, do not let them leave empty-handed. Offer food, fruits, grains, or any other items as per your capacity. Acts of charity and kindness on this day are believed to multiply good fortune and attract divine blessings.
Avoid Donating Certain Items
Since Kartik Purnima is associated with the moon, it is advised not to donate items linked to lunar energy such as milk, silver, or other white objects. Scriptures suggest that doing so may increase “Chandra Dosh” or moon-related imbalances.
Do Not Keep Darkness In The House
Make sure your home is well-lit on Kartik Purnima. Do not allow darkness to remain in any part of the house, as light symbolises divine presence and positivity. Keeping lamps or lights on throughout the evening is believed to attract prosperity and remove negativity.
