Meditation and prayer during this period can help stabilise the mind and enhance mental focus.

Importance Of Bathing On Purnima

Bathing in rivers like the Ganga or other sacred waters on Purnima is believed to purify both the body and mind. The full moon amplifies the divine energy in water, which is thought to wash away sins, negativity, and past karmic burdens. This ritual of sacred bathing has been celebrated for centuries in Hindu traditions.

Religious Significance Of Purnima

According to Hindu scriptures, fasting, prayers, and rituals on Purnima hold exceptional merit. Devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi for prosperity and Lord Satyanarayan for peace and well-being. Offering prayers to the moon can reduce obstacles and spiritual afflictions, bringing harmony and abundance into one’s life.
