Ashadha Purnima

Ashadha Purnima

Ashadha Purnima is considered a day full of spiritual energy and immense merit in Hinduism. The significance of this day is not limited to religious rituals alone, but it is also an extremely auspicious occasion for service, charity, and social welfare. This day is also known as ‘Guru Purnima’, when disciples express their reverence towards their gurus and, with their blessings, receive guidance and light in their lives.

The importance of Ashadha Purnima is not confined to worshiping the guru but also carries the message of serving humanity. By donating food, clothes, and other essential items to Brahmins, the needy, and the downtrodden on this day, one invites peace, prosperity, and happiness into their life.

Spiritual Significance of Ashadha Purnima

According to mythological beliefs, Ashadha Purnima is an extraordinary opportunity to receive divine grace, guru devotion, and freedom from sins. The acts of chanting, penance, charity, and service performed on this day yield multiplied spiritual rewards. This day paves the way for spiritual growth, harmony, and self-improvement.

Scriptures mention that by following the path outlined by the guru and performing deeds with a spirit of service, all flaws in life are removed, and divine blessings are easily attained.

The Importance of Charity in Mythological Context

A verse from the scriptures states:

“Alpamapi kshitau kshiptam vatabeejam pravardhate.
Jalyogaat yatha daanaat punyavriksho’pi vardhate.”

This means, just like a banyan tree seed grows into a tree that provides shade and fruit when given appropriate water, similarly, the tree of merit grows with service and charity, bestowing nectar-like peace and happiness in life.

Become Part of the Merit by Feeding the Needy and Disabled Children

On this auspicious occasion of Ashadha Purnima, feeding disabled, orphaned, and needy children is a supreme way to receive the grace of God and the guru. Participate in the service project of Narayan Seva Sansthan and provide lifetime food (once a year) for disabled children and experience the immense merit of this sacred day.
