Spiritual Significance of Margashirsha Purnima

According to ancient beliefs, the day of Margashirsha Purnima is a special religious occasion that opens the path to liberation from sins and the attainment of virtues. Particularly, performing the worship and fasting of Lord Vishnu on this day brings about positive changes in life. The scriptures mention that the charity and worship performed on this day yield manifold benefits.

Lord Krishna, in the Bhagavad Gita, says, “Of all the months, I am Margashirsha,” indicating that this month is excellent and special, where Lord Krishna accepts the devotion and faith of His devotees more than in any other time.

Importance of Charity and Virtue

The ancient scriptures say—

“Dānena svargamāpnoti yaśo dhanamayaṁ dhruvam |
Dhanam dharmaṁ ca dharmājñā yathā yathā karmṇe siddhim ||”

This means, by giving charity, one attains not only heaven but also wealth, fame, and prosperity.
